"Two places and times jammed up against each other," or words to that affect. The question, as posed by Prisoner Zero, is why.

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.

Oh yay! I knew about this, but couldn't quite see it on my crappy computer, so am terribly grateful for the screencap.

As for what it means? No idea. Well, I have some Thoughts, but nothing coherent enough to tell other people yet.

Typo?

[skipthedemon.livejournal.com]

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

[biichan.livejournal.com]

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.

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.

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.

[in-the-end.livejournal.com]

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.
