| == Date for modern-day scenes? ==
| | {{ArchCat}} |
| | |
| Do we know for sure that the modern-day scenes in this episode were in 2012, or should the page say 21st Century instead? Unless I'm mistaken, the scenes in The Power of Three took place around 2020, given that it was Amy and Rory's 10th wedding anniversary; I'd be inclined to assume they weren't venturing back in time just to read in New York.

| | |
| :The Doctor explicitly says, at 12:05 in, "Tried that, if you noticed, and we are back where we started in 2012". And near the end he repeats it. So yes, it's 2012. It's also clearly the 2012 New York skyline (or at least somewhere before 2014), because the new WTC towers aren't visible.

| :As for when TPO3 took place, that's complicated; there's a whole thread on the Talk page about that, and another one at http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Howling:Dating_the_Amy_era. Anyway, whatever year that was, this seems to be a few years later. So, why did they visit New York in 2012? I think that's a topic for The Howling; for this article, the only thing that's directly relevant is that it definitely was 2012. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 22:45, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

| ::TPO3 took place between 2011 and 2012. This can be determined as Amy states that it is her and Rory's 1 year anniversary. I doubt that if it was in 2014 or later, they would celebrate their 1 year anniversary. Also, going by all in-show references, the present time of the companions is typically set as the year the series airs first.--[[User:Alpha Lycos|Lycos Devanos]] [[w:c:fable:User_talk:Alpha Lycos|Drop me a line]] 04:56, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

| :::No, it was their _10_ year anniversary. Also, I don't know where you get the idea that the companions' present is typically the year the series airs; that's only true for about 1/4th of them. But anyway, this page is not the place to discuss the setting of TPO3; go to [[Talk:The Power of Three (TV story)]] if you think that article needs to be changed, or [[Howling:Dating the Amy era]] if you just want to discuss it. For this article, all that matters is when this episode was set, and that's clearly. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 06:16, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

| == Main setting ==
| |
| I removed "China, 221 BC" because that's only the setting for a single scene that lasts a few seconds and has no featured actors. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 06:16, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

| == Getting history wrong? ==
| |
| | |
| I'm just wondering, didn't the Moff get the timescale in ancient China wrong? I know the 221BC is a Sherlock reference, but at 221BC it was the Qin dynasty not the Qing dynasty, Chinese people didn't wear stuff like that, tie their hair like that or even had vases like that.
| |
| Of course we can always say the Doctor changed history, but still, production error/not doing his research?
| |
| | |
| :If Moffat mixed up the Qin and Qing dynasties, I think that qualifies as a production error, and you should add it to the appropriate section of the article. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 21:25, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

| == Statue of Liberty ==
| |
| | |
| In [[TV]]: ''[[Time of Angels]]'' it is stated that every image of an Angel is an Angel. If the Statue of Liberty is an Angel, every photograph of the sculpture should be a Weeping Angel.

| :Question: Have all the statues in NY ALWAYS been Angels, or have the Angels just recently "taken over" all of them. --[[User:Deb1701|Confused]]

| ::The simplest answer is that was a temporary situation... [[User:HarveyWallbanger|HarveyWallbanger]] [[User talk:HarveyWallbanger|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:28, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

| :::The angels seem to have issues moving the statue, as in both scenes where it appears it doesn't move even though not being looked at. Then again, how did they manage to march it over there in the first place with no one seeing it? At no point is it even implied that the angels have that much control of the city (actually they marched it back and forth since it is there in the teaser, then back on the island, then back at the roof again). Even without street lamps you can see something that big even at night[[User:Void2258|Void2258]] [[User talk:Void2258|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:28, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

| Where does it actually say that the scene with young Amelia in the garden is set during ''The Eleventh Hour''? For all we know she kept going out there every night in case the Doctor showed up.
