… Dammit. This makes too much sense. And I thought the Ponds' departure from Doctor Who was a heart-breaker. Malcolm's Fall is something I'm not ready to confront.

Well, it is science-fiction.

Not gonna lie, part of me now thinks they went back way too far — they should've gone to Cortlandt Park in the late '70s. Doctor Who vs. The Baseball Furies!

RTD did a bit of damage control on this on The Sarah Jane Adventures, where Eleven tells Jo Grant he looks in on his former Companions "off-camera."
