** The First Doctor explains it in detail on [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=274 this page.]] The short version is, thanks to the TimeyWimeyBall and the Guardians' unnatural interference, the Doctors' memories will return to their proper states of being once they reenter their own time streams. {{Technobabble}} HandWave, basically. (That said, it's likely it won't affect Ten, since they're all in ''his'' time stream.)

** It was [[spoiler:the Guardians]]. They played with Eight's memories, they made things hazy for Nine and Ten, and they kept the Time Lords in Eight's time stream[[hottip:*:aside from Maxil, who recognized Six]] from recognizing the other incarnations of the Doctor (which they should have been able to do regardless of the Doctor's incarnation, since Time Lords don't base recognition solely on outward appearances).

** Because there were already more than enough characters, and the author probably just couldn't figure out how to fit all of them in.

*** He turned around and saw Nine and Rose standing off to the side before making his decision. Yeah, it was about his personal history.

** It's their nature. Both Guardians are {{Chessmaster}}s, and for eons they've been playing a game against each other--Order versus Chaos. The only constant in foiling either of their machinations was the Doctor, who successfully countered the chaotic Master and the ordered Daleks. Over time, both Guardians came to the conclusion that the Doctor didn't represent chaos ''or'' order--he consistently maintained a balance, even more so after the Time War with the instability of the universe. This was unacceptable to the Guardians, so they plucked the Doctors out of their timelines in order to place the universe back into flux and force a conclusion--and the Doctors ''still'' fixed everything and maintained a balance. So the Guardians lost patience, captured Ten, and pretty much forced him to choose since he was the only person who conceivably ''could''. Naturally, the Doctor TookAThirdOption, thanks to Nine's machinations.
