yup, although I think the older Everett had the best line in the episode, I don't think you will see me again, but you will be seeing me

I noticed the two had the same last name but I wasn't sure if they were related.

I really should do something about this signature.

Yeah i don't see how that type of time travel is against any rules... you just can't do things that will result in you doing something else... If you do then it changes the current present and thus it must be destroyed. It's a general principal not to do it but it isn't a hard and fast rule... especially if you know enough and plotted it out.

Hey, it's time travel. It's inherently confusing, and it inherently requires a hefty dose of disbelief suspension. We all get that, I'm sure.|

The problem with causal loops -- quite apart from the immediate paradox they imply -- is that they're a cheap plot device. In Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, the causal loops were intentional jokes. In Doctor Who, they're fine up to a point, but there's a very serious danger of their being over-used. It's just too easy to say, "Ok, I resolve to go back in time later on and fix this current, seemingly impossible predicament." And poof, it's fixed.
In the words of Zombie, it's ego ex machina. I think that's a very apt term.

I dont know if like me anyone watched both the BBC and BBCA versions, but the credits are different. In the opening in America there was this little back story narrated by Amy. It was like "When i was 10 i had an imaginary friend..." or something. That didnt air on the BBC version in the UK, or atleast not on the version i have.
Just thought it was intresting, like maybe were gonna see a push to get new veiwers in the americas and they are trying to give a bit of a backstory to series 5.
