It's very funny to me whenever people complain about continuity or changes to the "canon" in Doctor Who because there's the whole UNIT dating controversy, which is hilarious peak long-running TV series with multiple writers shenanigans, and which still has not and probably never will be definitively resolved.

#doctor who #my completely no-stakes conspiracy theory is that moffat coined the phrase 'wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff' as a lowkey reference to this #'when was unit founded?' 'oh you know; it's all a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff'#want to cause a fist fight at doctor who trivia? just ask them when unit was established in-universe and when the brigadier retired!#the unit dating controversy is the mavity of classic who; reminding us all to keep it a little bit silly because this is a fun sci-fi show #sure it'll occasionally tear your heart out and smush it in a blender #but most of the time it's just very whimsical and you could build multiple bridges with the suspension of your disbelief
