Re: What if... Doctor Who was at the scene of MJ's death?
"Don't worry, I'm the Doctor. What's this now, pills? Medicine, about to suffer a fatal overdose? Mikey my boy, I'm afraid you've really gone and done it now, come on, you had it all in you, you were about to come out with that big new movie. What's all this then?"
"But Doctor, are you just going to stand there and let him die?"
"Amy, you know we're observers, we can't change the past or do anything to affect things and since I've been to the end of time it's all the past to me, we can't change this."
"But what about his children?"
"Oh, all right. Hey, kids, want to go on a ride in a time machine? Let's go visit the Xygmoidian Nurse Planet, they love taking care of kids then we'll pop back in 20 years or so and bring you back to be huge music stars after the estate's had some time to clear these monetary hurdles and build back enough money to support you.
"What's all this about, the Xygmoidians are gone? And what's that crack... doing here again?"
