Talk:Rory Williams
Why is it now assumed that Rory Williams is Amy Pond's fiance? There is no evidence for this. All we know is that Rory is Amy's "sort of" boyfriend, and that two years later she is engaged to someone who MIGHT be Rory, but we don't actually KNOW. Stop writing this as if it is undoubted fact, when it is NOT.
I agree that we shouldn't jump to conclusions, but it IS the most likely outcome. Also, sign your posts, please.Excalibur-117 11:32, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Is it? Rory's reaction to the mention of Jeff's name makes him at least a plausible romantic interest, even though filming reports point to Rory's presence in more episodes. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 22:34, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
The 'Vampires in Venice' script leak heavily implies that it's Amy and Rory getting married and the trip to Venice is a wedding present. So there is evidence for it. I do agree though that articles shouldn't bear this kind of info unless in a rumours section until broadcast.86.134.188.188 12:13, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
- Yep, I know of the leaked script. But the point is we can't go off of stuff like that, cause we only have a portion. Even if that does actually make it into the final edit, and there's evidence that it probably does from various trailers, it's not necessarily so straightforward. For instance, Amy could have been engaged to him, given him back the ring, gotten engaged to someone else. The Doctor could believe that she made a mistake, so he's taking Rory along to give them a chance to rekindle their relationship. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 16:03, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
What the Doctor isn't saying...
Technology: Laptop Computer with video confrence capabilities. Cell phones all over the place, with cameras.
Rory's badge, which they zoomed in on purpose: Date of issue: 30,11, 1990
Assumed date the bulk of the story takes place: 2008 or 2010 (depending on if the 'two years later' put it in the current year, or two years ahead of us)
This would mean Rory has been a nurse for 18-20 years. He said he was made to dress up as the Raggedy Doctor when 'we were kids' to Amy Pond. To go through schooling and become a nurse, he'd have to be 20 or so years old. This would mean that he is roughly 40 in the main portion of the story? I don't think so. We never see the date, and only see cell phones and laptops which indicate it is near 2010. Either Rory has a false ID (he was also in the coma ward, when his ID says emergency ward), Rory is impossibly older than he should be, or something is out-of-time with technology. The doctor notices the camera phones, and notices Rory's 1990 issued badge.
Is something up with Rory, time / technology, or the Doctor himself?

- The production error is a killer, but my mind is saying that the Doctor was still "cooking", so his brain isn't functioning correctly. Which is why he saw 1990 instead of another number. That's how I'm choosing to see it. Mc hammark 08:56, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
Maybe the person who printed the badge at the hospital made a typo and didn't notice. When Rory noticed and asked for a new one they couldn't be bothered to reprint and laminate just for a few digits so they told him to tipex it but, shock horror, he couldn't find any. Isn't that a bit more realistic than trying to reconcile 1990 with 2010?82.45.232.218 20:51, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
/Him and Amy?
gah it's just not meant to be... SURELY you'd go for the one who you've made cartoons of your whole life? Why does Rory have to get in the way of Amy and her "raggedy doctor", eh?81.141.161.91 01:50, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
Doctor Likes Him?
Um, is that little bit at the end of the page really necessary? The one about the Doctor liking him a lot. Shouldn't just be in the personality bit or something???81.154.143.161 17:58, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
Name badge
It clearly states on the bade that 1990 was the date of issue NOT the current date. So why is there that section at the bottom about it? :S Matta jr 00:59, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Think about how old he would have to be if the badge was issued 20 years prior to the current date. Let's say 4 years of training as a nurse, and he would have had to be at least 16 at that point, making him 40 in 2010. He was a childhood friend of Amy Pond, and she is 21 years old (born 1989) in 2010. That's why there's that section at the bottom. 79.79.142.235 01:21, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
Time Loss?
Quote from the article, "...in the same latter episode, the clock in Amy's bedroom jumped from 11:59am June 25th to 12pm June 26th, one entire day missed in one second - and it was night time outside." Was it definately 11:59am to 12pm or could it just be a continuity error where the am and pm bits were mixed up, would make more sense. Also see the fact that it's night outside lending towards the clock meaning to show 11:59 pm June 25th - 12 am June 26th. 144.173.212.40 03:36, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
Erasure?
- Did anybody else notice that in Cold Blood, after Rory is supposed to be erased, the engagement ring box is still seen in the Tardis? Poggin 13:11, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
- God point. Could that mean the the return of Rory? --Edward Rankin (talk) 14:12, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Could be as there have been some rumors that he will return in the series finale as a roman soldier i might as well be wrong but i think the crack is like a resurrectuer it might be bad but it might use him like a slave maybe thats why he might be returning as a roman soldier The mysterious 14:19, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
Oh My God! Don't you get it. The person is removed from time. All other events up until then happen still, they are just forgotten about. Well, I would guess all pictures of Rory would be gone too, just Rory is now gone, his house will still be there and his belongings possibly. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.)☆ 14:42, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
- On the subject of his return, we know that the cracks erase people from time, and that they can allow passage, so why not both? Perhaps the cracks removed Rory from existence here and transported him through time. As for the ring? As Solar Dragon said, a change in events in the past do not affect the events happening presently. The Thirteenth Doctor 14:50, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
Rory gone forever?
In Cold Blood Rory is supposedly wiped from existance by the crack, no-one remembers him but the Doctor (despite his efforts to stop Amy forgetting him). But, there are rumours he'll appear in the season finale plus the fact that at the beginning of Cold Blood he placed the engagement ring in the TARDIS. Perhaps it'll be used in some way to bring him back as the TARDIS usually remains unaffected by changes in the timestream and they wouldn't just show us it for nothing, would they...
