When the Doctor faced a life with Madame Pompadour he didn’t have a mortgage to worry about - he would have had to work for a living but in a cushy job probably. Also he had Madame Pompadour to dance with. So things weren’t so bad.
I’ve always thought he was very blase about the dangers of losing his Tardis, the way he just parks it in any old place and wanders off.
Do the Doctor and Rose start each day by pressing the Random Destination Button and decide it’s easier to find out when they are by going outside instead looking at the Tardis clock?

Oh the shame. Schrodinger Radius my foot. I feel deeply… shamed. What’s another word for shame?
I meant of course, schwarzschild radius. I’d correct it in the article but since the review was written as I watched and I say “or whatever it is” it seems tricky to correct.

The wikipedia entry also states that black holes are non-rotating. Which means The Bitter Pill to be in geostationary orbit it couldn’t be moving - which surely is impossible. Not that I’d know. I learn about playing games.
The characters clearly kept on using the term “orbit” just from habit. Obviously.
Anyway I’ve talked about it before, I’m just happy that our science can sort of be rationalised, and the Doctor doesn’t seem like a fool for shouting “That’s impossible” multiple times. Yay.
This Doctor does it a lot, actually. And by a lot I possibly only mean in two or three episodes. Still, it’s enough to be annoying. It suprises me that the Doctor could be so closed minded about new ideas. It’s almost a theme in the Impossible Planet. But in the Cyberman two-parter, they’ve clearly entered another reality so stop saying it’s not possible. Clearly it isn’t.
It’s probably just a bit of arrogance shining through than actual unwillingness to accept new ideas.

Clearly it isn’t not possible. Forgive the double negatives.
