:::Other than that: I suspect Moffat will be bringing old companions (and foes, and maybe Doctors) back in multiple episodes throughout 2013, not just the special. He's harped on the fact that the whole year is an anniversary enough times, and I doubt anyone would be disappointed if Jack or Ace were in, say, episodes 805 and 806 instead of 814. So, there's plenty of room for Amy and Rory in there somewhere. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 21:09, September 30, 2012 (UTC) | :::Other than that: I suspect Moffat will be bringing old companions (and foes, and maybe Doctors) back in multiple episodes throughout 2013, not just the special.

:::The chapter title "Amelia's Last Farewell" is non-specific -- the very reason they were looking at chapter titles instead of reading the text. It doesn't say '''to whom''' it's her last farewell. Had she chosen to stay with the Doctor & River, it would have been her last farewell to Rory & the chapter title would still have fitted. As long as she made a last farewell to someone, anyone, it would have fitted. The gravestone inscription, by contrast, was specific. Once Rory had read it, he had to be sent back by the Angel. The added inscription about Amy didn't appear until she had made & implemented her decision to go with him. She had a real choice & the inscription appeared only once that choice had been acted on. That part was ''Amy's Choice'' again, this time in irrevocable reality. And she made the same choice: Rory. | |||
:::It was explicitly stated, near the end, that River wrote the "novel" & (somehow) got it to Amy so that Amy could write the afterword & get the thing published. Conversations when Amy was present but River wasn't needn't be guesswork, however. If Amy gets the typescript before publication, she can correct (or insert) those conversations. Provided that River gets the Doctor's account of his actions when none of the other 3 were present & Amy gets Rory's account, all 4 points of view will be as accurate as memory can make them. The "novel" would then be a collaborative effort by the 4 of them, just as the actions were.
