I think I missed something too. Near the start the Doctor says "Robbing a bank with a TARDIS is easy. So why aren't we using it?"
I'm still unclear why he didn't just use it, rather than that convoluted plan. Fly in, rescue critters, fly out. Job done. What did I miss?
It isn't just a solar flare. It is a solar flare big enough to fry a planet. And note that the issue isn't that the TARDIS would be damaged, just that he couldn't land properly.
He couldn't fly in an take the critters at any point, otherwise it would cause a paradox.
She only rings up at the end of her life, because she regretted leaving the creatures on the planet to die. If he had rescued them earlier she wouldn't have called, thus he wouldn't have known to rescue them at all.
Of course had he not gone to rescue them at all he wouldn't have given her the number to call, so the whole episode is a paradox with the cause coming after the effect.
Nah. She phones, asks him to rescue them. He zips in in the TARDIS the day after they were captured and rescues them. If he has to pop into the vault to give her a note as well, then I guess he can.
