well, i think you might be right.  and then we may see how melody got from new york to leadworth.  it may answer a few questions.  and you're right; it isn't like moffat to put in these recurring themes and not having them lead to anything.

ps, i heard somewhere i think that one of the ponds might die in this episode, although i can't remember where i heard that to verify my sources.  but i do think we will be shown what happens to the ponds no matter what.  [[User:Imamadmad|Imamadmad]] [[User talk:Imamadmad|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 08:07, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

I am never right when I do this, but I do it anyway. I've just got a lock on my batty conspiracy theory for Amy, Rory and the Angels. I don't think the recurring themes are foreshadowing or window-dressing, I think they are narrative coordinates left by Moffat (yes, it's one of 'those' sort of conspiracies).

Flickering lights get you two associations: The Silence and the Angels. Those both get you 1969. Then there's Christmas references, and the fact that the Angels will be offering their travel services in Manhattan in next week's episode.

Put all that together with River feeling the need to make another meaningful family appearance, and you get the coordinates Christmas 1969, New York - just weeks prior to the "New York - 6 months later" segment from Day of the Moon where Melody turns into a toddler on the streets of New York and takes 20 years to somehow work her way to Leadworth.

I think Amy and Rory are going to finally be sent 'home'. But even if I'm right (and I'm not), I get the impression they don't plan to tell us what actually happens to them. Wibbly-Wobbly 21:09, September 23, 2012 (UTC)


It's quite a pile, isn't it? (unsigned)
