Archive

For some reason, the archive for this talk page isn't appearing, so here's a link to it: Talk:The Impossible Astronaut/Archive 1. Shambala108 ☎ 20:57, February 29, 2020 (UTC)

The problem with the archive was the lack of the dab term in the Archive's name; it's now fixed, and the archive page is showing up. OncomingStorm12th (talk) 22:29, February 29, 2020 (UTC)

Well there we go. I (and other admins) have had so many problems with trying to archive these pages that I didn't look too far for the solution. Thanks Shambala108 ☎ 22:40, February 29, 2020 (UTC)

Silence in 2011

I was watching it again a few days ago and realised the first time Amy sees a Silence is in 2011. And the Doctor doesn't seem surprised that she sees it. Should this be noted somewhere in the Notes, or is this not appropriate on this page?

Probably not worth mentioning. Perhaps he doesn't seem surprised because he doesn't see it, or if he has then he's forgotten about it. BenPaddon ^{talk to me} 07:41, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

lover and enemy

could somebody change "impossible astronaut" so that it links ot the River Song page? Thanks!

"And then I forgot"

When Amy is in the restroom and talks with the Silent, she recalls seeing it at the lake and said "and then I forgot", a line spoken by Donna while inside the computer in Forest of the Dead. When I heard it, I tought the stories were linked... but I was wrong. Still, is it worth mentionning in the continuity? Dr Moon's hability to erase memory.

Nope. They're entirely unrelated. BenPaddon ^{talk to me} 07:41, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Enemy

Should the astronaut really be listed as an enemy? In the 60s, she didn't do anything even remotely malicious, and in 2011 she wasn't in control of her actions, didn't kill the real Doctor, and did exactly what the Doctor wanted her to do.Icecreamdif ^{talk to me} 07:34, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

The astronaut could, and probably should, refer to the suit rather than its occupant. Either way, the suit poses a credible threat during both parts of this story and deserves crediting as an enemy. BenPaddon ^{talk to me} 07:42, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

River as a child

The article states that rumor is false, but it is actually true. We do see and hear River as a child. Can somebody make that change? 214.13.69.132^{talk to me} 08:21, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

Voiceover

Where the article states "The version supplied for broadcast in the United States, Australia, and Canada is the first episode of Doctor Who to have a voiceover introductory sequence before the main titles, with the voice of Amy explaining her relationship with the Doctor", isn't this wrong?

Wouldn't the first episode with a voice over be Rose's in Army of Ghosts??? Geek Mythology ^{talk to me} 17:13, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

I think it'd be a fine line.

This is the first to have a introductory voice over.

Rose's V/O in Army of Ghosts was more of a narrative point, one which I think was in the episode no matter where it was aired. --Tangerineduel / talk 17:17, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

Should we maybe change it to say it was the first episode to have a voiceover specifically added for international copies? --TemporalSpleen ^{talk to me} 17:20, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

That would make more sense to me. Geek Mythology ^{talk to me} 17:30, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

Americans' speaking UK English

Could the Americans' speaking with British style talking be an example of the TARDIS's translation circuits? Seeing as the average viewer speaks in that manner and all the main characters do as well. Jnzooger ☎ 17:30, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

The TARDIS doesn't really translate for dialect/accent like that when they go to Scotland, so why would it for America? ComicBookGoddess ☎ 07:06, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

The Color of the infamous bow tie

I'm pretty sure that the bow tie he's wearing to his death is the same one he's got in the rest of the episode, just viewed under a different light. (As a clue, it's not quite on par with the rolled up sleeves.) I'd rather somebody else agreed before changing it, though. ComicBookGoddess ☎ 00:37, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

Diner the same as Ashildr's/Me's Tardis in Season 9

The diner where everyone met, including the n0n-aged 11th doctor, looks like the same diner that Ashildr and Clara Oswald attached to their Tardis in the 12th Doctor 9th season TV show, "Hell Bent." It is not known if there is a canon connection, but shouldn't this be listed in an incidental manner on this page? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Accessdpro (talk • contribs) .
