| ==Fear of the Doctor? ==
| | {{ArchCat}} |
| This is the second time (with Forest of the Dead being the first) where the Doctor simply getting a hostile force to look up his biography made them run in fear. This may become a trend. [[Special:Contributions/124.254.80.117|124.254.80.117]] 07:39, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
| | == No timeline? == |
| ==Ood? == | |
| How can the Atraxi have footage of The Ood in 2010?
| |
|
| |
|
| : It may be that the Atraxi did some sort of temporal scan. They follow the Doctor twelve years into the future to recapture Prisoner Zero, which implies time travel technology, and many segments of the video displayed happen in the relative future from 2010 (including the clip of Nine, which is clearly from The Parting of the Ways). This would explain the apparent inconsistencies in their knowledge, including of things that didn't even happen on Earth.
| | Why does the timeline suddenly stop at sereis 5? I've followed it from the begining and was just wonding if their was any particular reason or if someone just hadn't bothered to put it on the page yet. I can do a quick one but the comics, books, and audios will have to be added by someone who has read and heard them. [[User:Tivis014|Tivis014]] 23:48, May 5, 2011 (UTC) |

| ==Premature image?== | | == Food and Beverage == |
| Do we know for certain that the image of the Doctor outside his TARDIS used to illustrate this article is from this episode? I would think one of the shots of him in the Tenth Doctor's outfit would be more appropriate for this story. (The image is a good one to use for the season article, though, as well as whatever episode ends up actually having the sequence). [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 02:18, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :Nope. And beyond that, it's low-res, drawn from a webcast. And it's got the wrong license on it. And it likely doesn't even capture the narrative mood of the story. So it's a total waste of time to even have uploaded it and attached it to this article. Putting a picture up of a story which hasn't even aired yet is, frankly, insane. Patience allows for better, more efficient work.

| ==Bogus airdate==
| | I removed the note about the Doctor having a craving for apples which might have referenced The Christmas Invasion as the Doctor did not pull out an apple from his pocket it was a satsuma. ---- |
| I removed the 13 March airdate. The BBC has not announced the schedule yet. Any airdate from any source that is not the BBC is to be removed as bogus. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 03:15, February 7, 2010 (UTC) | | Just rewatched the episode yesterday. He pulled out one of each from the bathrobe pockets. |
| * And as the BBC has now officially announced April 2010, that proves my point. Sources other than the BBC have never been correct for any of the 3 series in predicting the airdate. This probably means 3 April as that's Easter Saturday, but let's hold off until it's official in case the show is changing nights or the season premiere is shifted to Easter Sunday as a special.

| * the latest trailer says easter :D
| |
| * There was a trailer that said specifically "Saturday, 3rd April", and there is a photo proof of that trailer. However, BBC denies such a trailer has been aired. What do we do with this information? Follow the trailer or the BBC crew? [[Special:Contributions/188.33.195.231|188.33.195.231]] 18:46, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

| :Where's the photographic proof? I've never seen a trailer which said anything other than Easter. The article in fact linked to a trailer which said "Easter", but tried to claim that was a source for "3 April". Thus, I've changed all references to "Easter 2010", because that's all we seem to be able to prove at the moment. The 4th is just as probable to me, now that we have in fact had an episode to run on a Sunday (WOM).

| In case another source is needed for April 3, Moffat said so on BBC Breakfast after the press launch. I'm replacing the source on the Infobox which was a) a blog, b) apparently working off the disputed trailer, and c) was loaded with javascript adds that caused my Intel Mac to crash (heaven knows what it might do to others). As always, we should use BBC sources when possible and Moffat on BBC Breakfast is much better than a fan blog. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 14:24, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

| ==Setting== | | == Uncredited cast == |
| I'm tentatively going to take down the time period given in the infobox. There's no dialogue to suggest a time period. The only date in the entire episode is on [[Rory]]'s ID badge, which says it was issued on [[30th November]] [[1990]]. Even given the fact that people don't regularly get such badges re-issued, he's simply not old enough to have an 18-year-old ID bage. The issue is even more complicated because of that stupid tacked on opening sequence, which is proving all round to be more trouble than it was worth. It prominently shows the London Eye. Somewhere here there's a production error. Don't know if it's the fact that the digital artists didn't remove the Eye, or that the graphic artists put the wrong date on Rory's card. Either way, for now, we don't know what the current year is in the Matt Smith era.

| | | * [[Coma patient (The Eleventh Hour)|Coma patient]] - [[Peter Moyes]] |
| : The episode most certaintly could not have taken place in 1990 as Rory's phone has an option to upload to Facebook, which did not exist until 2004, and the ability to upload to Facebook from a mobile phone did not exist until 2007. The Doctor specifically mentions Facebook when talking about the virus. He also mentions Twitter which was created in 2006 and really did not become popular enough to mention until 2008. The story most likely takes place in ~2010 as technology dictates. [[User:CodenameZ|CodenameZ]] 05:35, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| I don't have a copy of the episode to double check it, but if that's Rory's birthdate, rather than the date of issue of his card, all the numbers work fine. [[Special:Contributions/121.216.151.169|121.216.151.169]] 07:03, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

| ::It's the card's issuing date, not his DOB, unfortunately. The card must be wrong then, 'cause it's easier to say the card's wrong then explain away Facebook and Twitter as being in the mid 90's. [[User:Tardis1963|Tardis1963]] 07:28, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

| It's more dramatic than the UNIT dating controversy! Earth's history shows 2007 events, Facebook (2004 onwards) and Twitter (2006, became popular from 2007 through 2009 onwards) are mentioned, there s the whole picture upload thing, a very modern laptop and goood quality webcam, phones that are clearly in the late 2007 onwards era, and other things. Heck, they had filming settings an coloured screens and Facebook! That 1990 thing must be a production era, as all of the modern things we mentioned were actually - and obviously - in the script for the story, whereas that 1990 thing probably wasn't anything from the script.

| | |
| As mentioned before, many on-set reports reported that Amy childhood scene was in 1996, placing the main story in 2008 (when Facebook and Twitter very much existed, and Twitter was popular, and they had thin coloured screen phones with filming settings), and the Doctor's second return in 2010, explaining why Amy's home period is seen as 2010 later in the series.
