| ==Baby==
| | {{ArchCat}} |
| Craig's baby is no longer a myth, as he plays a part in the preview video on the bbc website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/videos/p00kmzlm). Can this be changed already, or is this against the spoiler policy? I'm assuming the bbc site can be taken as an official source?

| == Cybermen ==
| |
| | |
| I know it wasn't directly referenced, though due to their behaviour and appearance (i.e. no Cybus logo), among other things, it's fairly safe to assume that these are in fact, Mondasian Cybermen. [[User:ProtoKun7|ProtoKun7]] 19:05, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

| :It's discussed under Continuity. [[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 02:13, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :Needless to say this discussion about Cybermen is nothing new. I for one don't see why it's often theorised that just because one small change to the Cybus design is made, the Cybermen are assumed to be Mondasian - I don't see why the Cybusmen couldn't change their designs too. But if any conclusion is to be made, it probably wont happen for a while yet. Hopefully I'm wrong in that assumption.
| |
| | |
| ::It is not just their redesign, but also the use of Cybermats, spacefaring capabilities, "conversion" instead of "upgrade" etc. Another theory is that the two groups of Cybermen have somehow joined forces and the series 6 Cybermen are a result of a merger between Cybus and Mondas Cybermen.

| ::''The Pandorica Opens'' shows that the Cybusmen have become a space-faring race too. Whether that was intentional, or if the production team meant to change the Cybus logo to the new logo but didn't for any reason, the space faring Cybusmen has, at the end of it all, been canonised. Perhaps time had planned such for the Cybus Cybermen all along, perhaps even for the Mondasmen as well. Anyway, back to the main topic at hand, it's still pretty unclear. An episode focusing on a new Cyber design would be handy for us. They did it for the Daleks, I say the Cybermen deserve that sort of attention as well. I suppose we can only wait.

| :::I believe they were supposed to be Mondasian but the costume department didn't have time to alter the armour. You could try and retcon it and write in that for a while the Mondasians had C for Cybermen...? [[User:ProtoKun7|ProtoKun7]] 13:51, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

| ==Date==
| |
| | |
| I read somewhere that the date on the newspaper seen in this episode is April 19th, 2011. Since two days pass, The Doctor leaves on April 21st, 2011 and heads for America. This would imply that the Amy/Rory seen in the store are not the ones we just left in The God Complex, but the one that are just about to get the invitation's to go the America. --[[User:Deb1701|Future Companion]]

| It would be nice if you could cite where you read it -- a screen grab would be nice. Alternate explanations include this is not the Doctor who dropped them off or that he actually dropped them off a considerable time earlier. Or that this adventure takes place a significant time in the future. If true it is probably significant, but just how is unclear. [[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 19:16, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

| | |
| There it is. Thanks. I checked for myself and it is dated 19 April 2011. Assuming it's not an oversight like the Rory namebadge controversy, it undoubtedly is significant. Hm. Maybe Rory is Flesh too. After all, the Doctor told him to stand away when he aimed the sonic at Ganger Amy to dissolve her. Come to think of it, how could he dissolve her as Flesh when the interior of the TARDIS had 'set' the gangers as 'real.' [[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 19:39, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *It's still entirely possible that Amy was kidnapped and turned to Flesh in the months-long interim between ''[[The Impossible Astronaut]]'' and ''[[Day of the Moon]]'', especially since the Silence said that Amy had been there for some time...

| == Alfie as a companion ==
| |
| | |
| Can we add Alfie as a companion? I think he deserves it. [[User:MaGnUs|MaGnUs]] 22:46, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| * There's no "deserving it", Craig hasn't done enough to be considered a proper companion.

| :: I disagree, but still; I'm talking about this episode in particular. Craig is listed as a companion for this episode, as well as for 'The Lodger', same as Astrid Perth or Christina de Souza, who were was listed as companions in a single episode. The "deserves it" is a joke; but I do think that Alfie, as a character, functions as a companion in this episode, taking part of the adventure with Craig and the Doctor.

| | |
| Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that to be considered a companion one must have traveled in (or been offered the chance to travel in) the TARDIS? -- [[User:Deb1701|Future Companion]]
| |
| | |
| If only it were so easy! There's a big article on Companions in this wiki that will leave you knowing as little going out as you did coming in, except as a source of fanwankery. [[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 23:24, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

| :::If it worked that way, then Craig wouldn't be listed as companion in both his episodes. [[User:MaGnUs|MaGnUs]] 10:15, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| :: The debate over what is a companion is probably more appropriate there, however Craig is just as qualified as [[Liz Shaw]] (who never travelled in the TARDIS either), and other one-off companions (officially recognized as such by the BBC) such as Lady Christina and Astrid Peth. Craig also has the edge that he is directly referenced on screen as being a companion. If in doubt, go with what the BBC says. If they say he's a companion, then he's a companion. Put another away, if this were a Christmas special, and the Doctor wasn't with regulars, Corden would have been billed in the opening credits.

| | |
| ::: I personally wouldn't consider Astrid or Lady Christina companions, but I'll let that go because the BBC said it. Craig, however, was never called a companion, so shouldn't be listed.
| |
| ::: Also, Amy and Rory, seriously? Does that cameo deserve them a place in the companions list? Should we start listing every companion cameo during the fifth doctor's regeneration, or come to think of it, all the companions in The End of Time?

| ==Amy and Rory Timeline==
| |
| * I added this. The fact it's post-God Complex is clear from the episode. I left "TBC" in the second column because Wedding of River Song hasn't aired yet and we don't know yet if it occurs before or after Amy becomes a fashion model in their couple's personal timeline. [[Special:Contributions/68.146.80.110|68.146.80.110]] 14:04, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| * The date on the newspaper clearly establishes that it is before the Impossible Astraonaut on earth. We know that they were on earth at that time, and they can't be there twice, so they had to have been dropped off at the end of the god complex after they were picked up at the beginning of Let's Kill Hilter. This means that the cameo in this episode is from before The Impossible Astronaut from their POV.
| |
| ** Sorry, I'm confused. Why can't they be there twice? There have been two of many characters on the Earth at a time before. Couldn't the Doctor have dropped them off after 'A Good Man Goes to War' at some point in Earth's timeline before 'The Impossible Astronaut', meaning there'd be two sets of them on Earth at that time? Besides, it's been hinted in the trailer for the coming episode that there's 'something wrong with time' so we can't take anything for certain.[[Special:Contributions/210.49.167.47|210.49.167.47]] 15:48, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

| ** If it was before ''The Impossible Astronaut'' and it's the same house they would run into themselves causeing a paradox which we all know by now is bad. [[User:Tivis014|Tivis014]] 16:59, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

| The Episode takes place at the end April 2011, which places it BEFORE "The Impossible Astronaut". -- [[User:Deb1701|Future Companion]]
| |
| | |
| Yes, it does. It happens a couple of days before TIA, which causes enormous problems, since Amy apparently got pregnant the evening of her wedding to Rory (June 26, 2010), when two years earlier she had been earning a living as a Kiss-o-gram. That sort of celebrity does not arise that quickly, unless we posit some huge and so far unseen changes due to the Big Bang 2. Even with Gangers and time travel, there are enormous holes there which cannot be filled with any certainty. Assuming that Amy is a celebrity, can she just fly off to Utah on 24 hours -- I wouldn't try to get from thirty miles outside Gloucester to the middle of nowhere, Utah, in less than three days, even if I could make all the connections. There's a lot of plot points that Moffat is going to have to fill in Saturday or tag "to be continued" and the Williamses' placement here should remain problematic for a while.
