All we see is a close-up photograph of a script page. How do we know that comes from an actual script? What's the origin of the image? Also, it's a line of dialogue taken out of context. I've left the rumour itself in for now, but we need a better source like DWM, or one of the actors or something. A random image with no pedigree given just doesn't cut it.

Among other things. So this might just be a character trait. [[Special:Contributions/90.134.32.15|90.134.32.15]] 11:03, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

| :
| |
| :I would point out that the First Doctor is, at times, extremely unkind and several other previous incarnations, notably Four and Six had an extremely low tolerance for both people perpetrating evil and for fools and both did frequently tell people to shut up. The reason he kept hitting the Dalek and insisting that they were Daleks was to provoke them into dropping their cover in anger or self-defense because he knew they were up to something AND it turned out that he was 100% correct about that, the problem is that him getting mad and attacking them and trying to get them to drop their fascade was EXACTLY what they wanted him to do. It is a clear case of both the Daleks and the Doctor knowing exactly how their enemy works and thinks and for once, and I like that they did this, it is the Daleks who outwit the Doctor.[[User:Doorofnight|Doorofnight]] 17:42, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

| ==The Date==

| It says on the main page that the Doctor picks Rory up on the 26th, however, why would he have his stag do on the day of his wedding, and the Doctor is avoiding the 26th at all costs at the moment isn't he? Most likely the Doctor just went back a few hours to pick him up. It's probably just an editing error though. [[User:Adam 148|Adam 148]] 06:52, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Actually the Doctor picks Rory up on the 25th, because at the beggining of the episode, when Rory leaves a message on Amy's phone, he says : 'I haven't told you for seven hours that I love you [...] and even if we weren't getting married tomorrow, I'd ask you to mary me anyway'.

| Throwing this theory out there, but thought I should point out that this episode introduced the arc of Refugees- a possible hint to Amy's true nature? (I still firmly believe Amy's not who she says (or thinks) she is- based off of another theory which I shall post below)
| |
| | |
| | |
| Eleventh Hour had Prisoner Zero- a refugee in the sense of escaping one place to live in another<br />
| |
| Daleks had the Daleks as refugees, waiting for the Doctor to show up to restart their race<br />
| |
| The star whale was not a refugee- but the humans were<br />
| |
| The weeping angel that was on the Byzantium was by itself, possibly as a refugee<br />

| == 'Deception' Story Arc ==
| |
| | |
| I believe Amy Pond is not who she says or thinks she is- based off of her changeable personality, the 'Pond with no Ducks', the fact she acclimatised so well to time travel compared to every other companion, and how in times of danger she seems more concerned with getting one over on the Doctor. Add to that the fact that she aimed that kick very well in this episode- like she may have some hidden knowledge about how the aliens work, because everyone knows Vampires wouldnt be affected by a kick and generally it would make things a ton worse for her... Finally, deception has been a key theme so far- allow me to explain:
| |
| | |
| Prisoner Zero could shapechange<br />
| |
| The space whale 'appeared' to be a starship<br />
| |
| The Daleks acted like allies to provoke the Doctor<br />
| |
| The Angels appeared to be ordinary statues, even to the Doctor<br />
| |
| 'What could be so bad that they want us to think they're vampires?'

| Okay the way I understood the episode is that on their travels to earth all the female Saturnynians died, leaving 10,000 all-male Saturnynians. The mother, and one of her sons went onto land (using disguises) to turn human females in to female Saturnynians. At the end of the episode, all the new female Saturnynians are dead, the son is dead, and the mother jumped into the pool as was eaten by the 10,000 children. But what happened to the 10,000 Saturnynians in the pool? I don't remember them being killed? And while I know they cant bread, 10,000 Saturnynians are still 10,000 Saturnynians, and surly (even if they are infants) there will still grow up to be a threat? Or worse be able to continue their mother's plan? - Looq 01:37 GMT - 10th May 2010

| The way I saw it was that the 10,000 Saturnynians did not have perception filters, and would not be able to look human, therefore would be unable to go onto land without arousing suspicion. I also thought that Rosanna was the most intelligent of the group, as the mother, and they probably have no idea that Rosanna was the one they ate, so they're just waiting for their "brides." They probably will die out in time. It's just another piece of thread left untied at the end of an episode. [[User:Musedae|Musedae]] 00:45, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

| What I don't get is how all the females were dead. I realise that each female would probably spawn clutches of eggs so they could probably use fewer females to repopulate the species, but even then I don't see how the entire "more than enough" for 10000 males could have comprised the entire sum of females sent to kill the Doctor and that were resultantly blown up with the building. - Nobody 11:00 GMT - 10th May 2010

| : I agree. Given that the vampire girls were the most prized assets, it seems strangely careless for their Mother to send them in as frontline fighters. Another thing: Why can't she just make more females? The loss of a few shouldn't be such a problem, unless there was some extreme time constraint that didn't get mentioned.

| : The time constraint wasn't as much a time constraint as much as the interference of the Doctor. [[User:Mc hammark|Mc hammark]] 13:27, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

| == Library Card ==
| |
| What's this about the card saying "Dr. W. Saith"? It clearly says "Dr. J. Smith"
| |
| | |
| :yeah which fool changed that to W. Saith? Someone needing glasses certainly. I changed it back to J. Smith as it SHOULD be. If someone wants to rewrite that bit feel free but the name is correct [[User:Carnivius Prime|Carnivius Prime]] 10:37, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

| == Production Errors ==
| |
| One: In the dungeon/basement, the converted girls end every other sentence with Spanish "señor" instead of Italian "signore". Also makes one wonder why the TARDIS didn't translate that bit [[Special:Contributions/90.134.0.118|90.134.0.118]] 07:44, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Same happened in The girl in the Fireplace
| |
| | |
| I think the tardis is just abit faulty. [[User:Alpha111|Alpha111]] 17:32, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

| When the Vampire's are sent to kill the Doctor and co., The Vampire's are entering in two ways; from behind them and the window, the Doctor and co only focus on the ones at the window, and the one behind them, they forget and disappears and doesn't bother to attack them. If someone could verify this, that would be great thanks.[[User:Conmck22|Conmck22]] 09:39, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

| When the Doctor was climbing the building, there was a close up of him and a pillar. The camera was moving, but the sky behind him wasn't. I don't know if this was a mistake or not, but it looks like one.

| | |
| == Sonic Screwdriver ==
| |
| When The Doctor tries to open the bolted door, isn't that a reference to the sonic screwdriver not working on wood (-> Silence in the Library)
| |
| | |
| : I think it was more the fact it was a physical bolt, not a "lock" per say. And the wood thing has confused me a bit, after all in the Eleventh hour when prisoner zero was in that room and the doctor locked it, he said sarcastically "they're all terrified of wood". I'm not too sure where we can draw the line with the whole "it doesn't do wood" part. [[User:Mc hammark|Mc hammark]] 14:49, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :I don't remember anything about the particulars of the episodes mentioned above but might the screwdriver be being used on the lock so the wood would remain unaffected. When he locks the door in Eleventh Hour he's just using the screwdriver to "manually" lock a typical bedroom door lock. I don't know what kind of lock was on the door in Silence in the library--maybe it didn't have one and to "lock" it he would have had to cause the wood to swell or something which the screwdriver can't do.
| |
| :
| |
| :In the Library the doors had been closed so long that the wood had fused together - hence why the screwdriver was useless but Donna could open it with a hefty kick. [[User:Unhari|Unhari]] 18:16, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

| == production error ==
| |
| | |
| i think i found a production error when francesco jumps in the river he has not turned his preception filter off so his brothers would not recognise him (bad spelling back there) and eat him yet he is in a scene afterwoods!
| |
| | |
| :not the same bit of water I think [[User:Carnivius Prime|Carnivius Prime]] 21:09, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :
| |
| :Or he did switch, just off-screen. I think the switching part was not shown for dramatic purposes, and there is a scee where Francesco looks at Amy from the water. [[Special:Contributions/99.234.65.198|99.234.65.198]] 21:37, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

| == Same sound? ==
| |
| | |
| When the music stops after the doctor jumps out of the cake it makes the same sound as when he turned off the monitor at the end of TEH. Does this same sound appear in other episodes? I'll be listening for it now. [[User:V00D00M0NKY|V00D00M0NKY]] 19:17, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Re-watching Amy's Choice and noticed the same sound again as Amy is plugging in the "device" into the Tardis monitor before Rory starts winding it up to get power. Is this just a general sound effect used a lot or is it something recurring for a reason? [[User:V00D00M0NKY|V00D00M0NKY]] 10:31, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

| == More School Reunion similarities ==
| |
| *The aliens disguise as humans (by shapeshifting or perception filter)
| |
| | |
| *An actor playing a notable villain ([[Anthony Head]], [[Alex Price]]) also narrates the [[Doctor Who Confidential]]s for the complete series (as in season)

| == Venice empty? ==
| |
| | |
| : It also increased awareness of how serious [[Prisoner Zero]]'s warning about [[The Silence|silence falling]] was, when Venice ends up completely empty for no reason. For the first time, no [[Cracks in Time|cracks]] were featured; unlike ''[[The Time of Angels (TV story)|The Time of Angels]]'' and ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'', which was a two-parter, this episode had no visual crack. However, Rosanna mentions that the Saturnyians got to Venice through one, which snapped shut behind them.

| | |
| Heavily rewrote this paragraph in the lead anyway, but is there anything based on those few seconds which substantiates Venice being ''completely'' empty, or is it just the area where the TARDIS is parked? Especially when the TARDIS is parked outside of the gates and all we see is a brief shot of one empty stall as everything goes quiet. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 15:48, January 22, 2015 (UTC)
