One thing that i think should be noticed, in TPO, when the doctor and Amy arrive to acient Rome. The moment the get out of the Tardis, the doctor says that it's 1:02 AM, clicks his watch and then says "sorry, 1:02 PM". This rings the bell to what we see in TEH and FaS when the time goes from 11:59 PM to 12:00 AM which doesnt make any sense. And i dont think it's a production error since it happened twice not once (in 2 episodes). What could possibly be causing such a thing? 91.73.110.106 14:13, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
Something along the lines of : Half a day has gone; totally gone - there is a half day gap in the universe somehow pushing things out of sync causing some mental confusion. A discontinuity that can't be rationally explained. Jack Chilli 14:23, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
