However Phalia and her Amazons -- with their repeated references to the Doctor's relationship to Rose -- would appear to be actors hired by the Doctor. It's not known whether Rose was actually in a "time coma" for weeks as described. It is also not known if the Doctor is truthful when he states that three months have passed, though certainly enough time had to have passed in order to allow th Doctor to orchestrate the charade.
- It's also possible that this story as a whole is not canonical, given that it ends with Rose breaking the fourth wall and addressing the reader (although this has happened on a few occasions on the TV show, too).
