>As for the scenes of the TARDIS spinning through space, I have never >found them internally consistent either -- if it vanishes from sight I think that this is just a sort of inoffensive poetic license.

"Well, Jim, this computer was designed and constructed 300 million years ago by a totally alien race of methane-breathing, squidlike beings who built it using technologies unknown to us and used it for purposes we cannot conceive of and then mysteriously vanished leaving no shred of documentation as to its operation. It may take a few moments."
