The Holocene Mass Exinction Event

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.

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.

If nothing else it was v pretty.

From:

i am currently wondering if it will have anything to do with previous adventures or if it will all be brand new for this season.

The obvious one is Time War, but that would seem to be a dead horse post-EoT.

See

big_n_happy's icon below for a cap of what I mean!

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

Typo?

Yeah, I got nothing. Seems like it's a deliberate something though!

From:

Definitely deliberate.

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.

Ok, I've been thinking about this since I saw the post earlier.

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.

From:

usually i would think this, but i am getting the feeling it isn't. i mean, why was there a close-up of the badge at all?

From:

oooh, i wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what it was, to be honest...

From:

YOU ARE REFUSING TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH THE CLASS >:(

YOU SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE

From:

yes, why did we even get shown the badge if there was not A Reason? hmmm, i say, HMMMMM.

From:

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.

From:

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.

From:

Oh wait, Brandon just pointed out that they didn't have cell phone cameras in the 1990s. Dammit.

From:

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?

From:

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?

From:

either it is an hilarious typo or it is all part of a complex moffly plan.

From:

no, because we do not notice insane little details like that the way you do! :) (it's awesome that you do, btw, because otherwise we'd be clueless.)

From:

I remember that, and I thought it meant that she'd be from the 1980s.

TIMES SMUSHED AGAINST EACH OTHER!

Don't worry, River will save them.

...shit, lost my extra LJ-icons and all my River ones vanished.

From:

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.

From:

Did they ever explain why the Ood were developing too fast? Maybe it is that?

From:

He are a robot!

From:

And it was the Doctor's weird multi-angle PoV, so he must of seen it too?

From:

Hee! I promise if I ever sort them into anything that makes any sort of sense I'll tell you. ;)

From:

biichan.livejournal.com

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

He's got a mate who works in cosmetic surgery?

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.

*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.

From:

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!
