What if you could predict the future perfectly, but nobody around you could ever know about it because part of what you could see would happen was that you would never tell anybody.

I think my head just exploded.

it sounds slightly less frustrating than "fivesight" - that's a form of precognition in which you can't take direct action to prevent the disaster you foresee. but if you just can't tell anybody about it, you can probably (at least in some cases) figure out what you have to change to prevent or mitigate it.

of course, there's the Greek original, Cassandra; her curse was to know the future perfectly, but never be believed :-(

Strangest thing today and last time I clicked onto your journal, which was probably on the weekend: the text is really small. Like, extra, extra small.

When I go back to my main page it's normal again(which for me means a couple of clicks bigger than standard).

what would i do? probably punch Steven Moffat in the nose and tell him to stop writing the Doctor into fairy stories.

i don't know anything at all about Doctor Who, but what about writing fairy stories into episode of that, instead of the other way around? it worked for at least the first three Star Trek series :-)
