I truly hope they cram in a cameo for Tim Russ and that this time, he finds shit.

Doctor Who seems the most forgiving in that area. It has a built in etch-a-sketch mechanism between series/actors/writers and we've generally gotten accustomed to shrugging and go "sure, why not" again and again.

    H2G2 has multiple canons between the books, radio play, miniseries, and movie

    Yeah, I remember watching the re-boot thinking, first thinking, "wow, this is getting really complicated" before realizing it was a just a kid's show ultimately and nobody was taking the timeline implications seriously.

    I don´t think you could have a show like Dr. Who with strict canon. Every other episode would be a Yesterday's Enterprise, with a former Dr running about in the background from an earlier episode.

    9 (Tennant) best encapsulates the confusion:

    There is/was a Time War, enemies are back and gone again. Best not to think too hard on it or risk an aneurism.

    Doctor Who... the franchise that gave us 3 (or 4?) different explanations for the sinking of Atlantis!

    Perhaps it was sunk a dozen times, maybe hundreds, who can tell? Perhaps it was sunk a dozen times, maybe hundreds, who can tell? Perhaps it was sunk a dozen times, maybe hundreds, who can tell? (Perhaps it was sunk a dozen times ...)
