Canonicity in Doctor Who

          In researching my next article, relating to continuity and canonicity in Doctor Who, I came across a blog post from none other than Paul Cornell! For those of us that don't know, Mr. Cornell is a successful author who has written two episodes of Doctor Who. We have to thank him for: "Father's Day" and "Human Nature/Family of Blood" from series 1 and 3.
         It is truly bittersweet to find this article since I essentially wanted to write it. Mr. Cornell does a great job outlining the different mediums of Doctor Who's story and explaining why fifty years of contradictions is what gives the show its longevity.  
          To sum up what I wanted to say, ironically I'll use a perfect quote from him:
          "That doesn't mean we lose the lovely thought that Doctor Who is all one big story. It's one big and very complex story, that rewrites and contradicts itself. That was always the case. Only now it does it with purpose, rather than by accident."

Although the full story regarding his quick departure has yet to be told, Eccleston gave a little detail during an interview with BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends. 

Doctor Who: a celebration of continuity errors

Doctor Who fans are often faced with a struggle. Over fifty years of time traveling can lead to a lot of continuity errors. So fans are either forces to forgive them or make their own explanations.
But is that a bad thing? Or can explaining the vast number of discrepancies be part of the fun?

          Clara Ozwald has always been controversial to the whovians I associate with. That's my way of saying they hated her. Overall, I say the community either loves Clara or finds her annoying.
