I agree with the above comment -- but I'm less curious about that than I am about the blue glowing haze that crept across the screen when Eleven and Amy were talking a bit earlier.
Also, I'm with nostalgia_lj in thinking that the duck pond (which isn't a duck pond) Means Something.
i am trying to remember a blue glowing haze. there is that weird golden lighting when eleven is convincing amy with the apple, but i don't remember glowing blueness?
Also, I'm with [info]nostalgia_lj in thinking that the duck pond (which isn't a duck pond) Means Something.
yeah, that is very moff to have something seemingly ordinary like a duck pond without ducks Mean Something.
So basically, Amy could totally be the first non-spin-off "historical" companion in an age. Which would be awesome to my mind, even if the "historical period" is less than twenty years ago. And hey, if this turns out to be true, she comes BUILT IN with an excuse for lazy fic-writers that get the nineties wrong.
ha, remember when people (or at least... me) were wondering if the pic of karen gillan in the plaid shirt and jeans meant amy was going to be from the early 90's? maybe we were correct ALL ALONG.
Damn, I never would have noticed that! I'm going to go with the theory that Amy and Rory's time period is the 1990s. Which is awesome btw (ya for finally having a companion not from our current time!). Also supporting this theory is this line from the Wikipedia entry on kissograms: "Popular throughout the world in the 1980s, they have now been mostly replaced by strippograms or strippers." Hmm.
but did brandon notice the doctor examining a reading on his oscilloscope that looked exactly like the crack on amy's wall when amy was asking why the doctor wanted her to come along with him? DID HE?
interesting fact about kissograms. the problem with it being straight-up 90's is obviously the technology that doesn't belong there, like the mobile camera phone and laptops and cars. SO WHAT IS GOING ON, EH?
OBVIOUSLY it is that Amy's timeline is not settled, having got fucked up by leaks from the TARDIS when she met the Doctor in... 1996? So I think she is not from the 90s but I also think she is not from the same place as the other companions. This is why the Doctor wants to keep her, not just because she is a ginger.
Or alternatively the timelines are quite screwed, yah. They can't be in 90s because of all the technology they had on show (laptops, iphones etc). Plus it links in with the "Why me?" question which stuck out like a saw thumb for me because the audience knows that the Doctor likes to pick up attractive women from Earth, especially if they've just helped him save the Universe. And actually it doesn't make sense for Amy to ask it either because she's been left hanging twice already and he knows that she had 4 psychiatrists and drew cartoons of him, so she should really be thinking "you owe me this." Basically everything is significant.
oh man, i so missed the importance of the "why me" and the crack on the screen the first time i watched it. i thought it was just amy being all suspicious because the doctor has failed her before! then the second time i watched it was GLARINGLY OBVIOUS.
*engage nitpick mode* wtf does it say "Emergency Department" when he was very clearly working on the coma patient ward? *disengage nitpick* Also - blue weirdness = crack IMO.
moff made a show earlier in the week of not being aware of the discrepancy with the date after someone asked him about it in new york, so we'll see.
rewatchingt he blue weirdness i tihnk it was just the director taking license to make sure we understood the moment was ~special~. we'll know when the finale airs!
Pah, Moff, what would he know? ;) Speaking of Moff, though, my other crack theory is that the blue light is the "enemy" he says that we have seen in the first ep. It's all a big HHGTTG/DW crossover - superintelligent shades of blue threaten the Earth! Anyhoo, I am intrigued by your writings and I have subscribed to your newsletter and shall continue to read with interest. :D

I wonder if there is something UNDER the duck pond that causes ducks not to want to go in it? Something scary? (da-DUN!!!)

Either:
a) it's a typo (DOUBTFUL)
b) Amelia is actually living in the 1990s
c) This is Rory's date of birth (doesn't explain the word Issued, though)
Nice catch, btw.
