On the Page it says:
"River Song suggests in this episode that her and the Doctor are not meeting in random order, as has been implied before, but are actually meeting in the opposite order. This has been true so far, as every episode she has been in has been earlier in her timeline than the one before it"
I think it's necessary to add clearly, that her statement only applies to the on-screen events, but not to the off-screen events that are mentioned in the story. If they always met in the opposite order, which means that one always is older and remembers thing while the other one keeps getting younger and does not know any of the events, there could be none commom memories.
The Doctor: Library, Angels, Pandorica, Astronaut (909)-Astronaut (1,103)
River Song: Astronaut(1,103-then 909), Pandorica, Angels, Library (Death)
I think this is the order in which they experience the meetings so far (on-screen). But we have to add the mentioned offscreen events "Easter Island and Jim the Fish". At their first meeting in the Impossible Astronaut they both have entries in their diaries that mention those events. Therefore they had to meet off-screen, when the doctor was between the age of 909 an 1,103 and River was younger than in this story. Afterwards they both aged and met again in the Impossible Astronaut. They both remember these events so they have to happen in a the order "Easter Island and Jim the Fish" and then the Astronaut for River and the Doctor. It is obvious, that this is not the oppositional order but the same direction they went in their timelines. This only happend because of the meeting with the older version of the doctor. With the younger one (909) River's statement is in conformity. Hope it's understandable what I mean.[[Special:Contributions/95.208.116.246|95.208.116.246]] 13:31, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Revision as of 13:31, 24 April 2011

In the cast section, can we add Mark Sheppard as Canton Deleware III since we know for a fact that he's in the episode? TheTARDIScontroller 18:02, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Interesting point, Mark Sheppard is the real world son of Morgan Sheppard (older Canton Deleware III). Mike London UK 19:15, April 23, 2011 (UTC) Mike_London_UK 20:14, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Oh I know... Both of them voiced characters in my favorite video game, The Conduit. Mark Sheppard voiced the main character, Michael Ford, and his father voiced Micheal Ford's enemy. TheTARDIScontroller 21:37, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Episode two airdate

BBC has confirmed that the seoond episode will air on 30 April. Can we please put that rumor to rest? Please refer to series six talk page for details. Thanks! -- Rest In Peace Sarah Jane \ Talk to me! 18:22, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Air date

I can't edit the page, but it says aired on April 21st, which freaked me out for a minute since today is the 22nd, but everywhere else says it is airing for the first time tomorrow, the 23rd. Roleyus 08:19, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

It IS out today... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b010tb7q/Doctor_Who_Series_6_The_Impossible_Astronaut/ --Tyw7 23:28, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

TV story

Can someone add '(tv story)' to the title? Bluriteboy 16:15, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Why? It will remain as The Impossible Astronaut unless there is something else in the episode called The Impossible Astronaut. Mini-mitch\talk 16:17, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Error

There's an error in the Story Notes section. Here it is : A prequel for this tory was released on the offcial BBC website. I am presuming this is talking about the story... unless this is about the Conservative Party. (Canada) K'jal'mar ( The talk| Contribs) 17:17, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Spaceship

The spaceship in this episode is the same as the one in The Lodger (Season 5)

Myths section

OK, how can we be sure that the "We will see River Song as a child" statement is really false ? The little girl in this episode could be the young River... Nafoute 18:45, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Umm then she would have been killed before her adventure even started... unless Steven found a way to bring her back --Tyw7  (☎ Contact me! • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 23:37, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
But the trailer for episode 2 starts with Amy apologizing to the little girl saying "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shoot you" accompanied by a new shot of the girl opening the visor of the helmet showing a bullet hole in a position that shows the shot missed.

The Co-ordinates.

Anyone else googled the co-ordinates? Sent me to Ottowa, Canada. Maybe this should be in the "Continuity" section :/

Skip

Hey did anyone else notice a little jump or skip at exactly 18:21? Maybe it's just my version of the episode but it seems deliberate, there's even what sounds like a spooky music cue exactly after it happens. Given the powers of the Silence, and the time skips we saw in "The Lodger" I think it's possible this could be on purpose. Can anyone confirm/deny whether or not there's an actual skip in the episode? FixtheFernback 23:19, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

There is no skip. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b010tb7q/Doctor_Who_Series_6_The_Impossible_Astronaut/--Tyw7  (☎ Contact me! • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 23:40, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
Oh darn. Just a coincidence then I guess. Funny, it really did look like it could have been purposefully inserted. FixtheFernback 00:44, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Pregnacy

So shouldn't the fact that amy is pregnant be added to continuty also amy remembering the previous times she saw the aliens isnt a production error it's clearly delibrate possibly from her pregnacy (if it isnt rory's and if that's true 47 MORE YEARS!)

Continuity - River Song

On the Page it says:

"River Song suggests in this episode that her and the Doctor are not meeting in random order, as has been implied before, but are actually meeting in the opposite order. This has been true so far, as every episode she has been in has been earlier in her timeline than the one before it"

I think it's necessary to add clearly, that her statement only applies to the on-screen events, but not to the off-screen events that are mentioned in the story. If they always met in the opposite order, which means that one always is older and remembers thing while the other one keeps getting younger and does not know any of the events, there could be none commom memories.

The Doctor: Library, Angels, Pandorica, Astronaut (909)-Astronaut (1,103)

River Song: Astronaut(1,103-then 909), Pandorica, Angels, Library (Death)

I think this is the order in which they experience the meetings so far (on-screen). But we have to add the mentioned offscreen events "Easter Island and Jim the Fish". At their first meeting in the Impossible Astronaut they both have entries in their diaries that mention those events. Therefore they had to meet off-screen, when the doctor was between the age of 909 an 1,103 and River was younger than in this story. Afterwards they both aged and met again in the Impossible Astronaut. They both remember these events so they have to happen in a the order "Easter Island and Jim the Fish" and then the Astronaut for River and the Doctor. It is obvious, that this is not the oppositional order but the same direction they went in their timelines. This only happend because of the meeting with the older version of the doctor. With the younger one (909) River's statement is in conformity. Hope it's understandable what I mean.95.208.116.246 13:31, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
