We're still left with an explanation that doesn't appear to cover the known facts. Either the Doctor's explanation is wrong, with no apparent excuse (either for him or for Moffat for having written it as he did), or the facts the Doctor used in coming up with his explanation are better (more complete) than the facts we know. There's nothing implausible about that. The Doctor has extensive knowledge and has Time Lord perceptions. The question for us is: What are the missing facts? --[[Special:Contributions/89.242.76.105|89.242.76.105]] 09:53, September 13, 2011 (UTC) | We're still left with an explanation that doesn't appear to cover the known facts.

: I disagree, to put forward an example - as far as Amy was concerned she spent her entire life without parents and did spend her entire life without parents, she wouldn't need something to cover up the gaps because she had lived her whole life that way, why would she question it now?

: The Light6: Amy isn't a sensible example to choose. The Doctor himself reckoned there was something unique about Amy's memory. When (aged 7) she was talking to the Doctor, she said her mother used to put faces on apples, so she did remenber having had parents. As has been pointed out above, however, the clerics who forgot their comrades' existences didn't question why (seemingly) such a small group had been sent on that mission. Eventually, there was only a single soldier who could see nothing odd about being alone on a mission that obviously called for at least a squad. The point, which has already been made very thoroughly, is that the situation which results from someone being absorbed by a crack is '''not '''the situation you would get if that person really had never existed. If you think there are no real inconsistencies, you need to explain why and you need to do that for all the apparent inconsistencies others have already pointed out. --[[Special:Contributions/78.146.181.206|78.146.181.206]] 21:35, September 13, 2011 (UTC) |
