:It looks like New York in the more recent timeline (after Big Bang 2) is one giant time distortion, which makes it a lot more difficult to land there in the first place. On top of that is the fact that Rory and Amy managed to generate a paradox to erase Winter Quay and most of the Weeping Angels from Manhattan, making the time distortions more prominent at that time. Apparently, The Doctor "saw" that he'd create some paradox or another if he met up with Rory and Amy again, he's always going on about being able to see fixed points and the like - according to the episode's wikia page, he actually mentions that another paradox would destroy the city, and I know he wouldn't be willing to risk an entire city going *poof* and a reality shattering anomaly just to see some friends. | :It looks like New York in the more recent timeline (after Big Bang 2) is one giant time distortion, which makes it a lot more difficult to land there in the first place.

:I have no idea what implications these events have on The Doctor's previous journeys to New York, and it's never revealed whether everything still occurs as it did before Big Bang 2 happened. So I think we'd need a massive continuity check here to confirm what does and doesn't still have a place in the new timeline, and how exactly Rory and Amy became capable of such a paradox. - [[User:Jackal-d|Jackal-d]] [[User talk:Jackal-d|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:44, December 29, 2012 (UTC) | :I have no idea what implications these events have on The Doctor's previous journeys to New York, and it's never revealed whether everything still occurs as it did before Big Bang 2 happened.

::Thanks for trying to explain what is a clumsy plot device to explain why Amy & Rory would no longer be appearing in Doctor Who (it's really the actors' decision, right?). But why would this prevent River from visiting them? I can see why a paradox MIGHT affect Rory & Amy's ability to travel in time but why would the Doctor or River's visiting them cause the city of New York to explode? I mean, the Doctor and River are not the source of the paradox, Rory & Amy are. | |||
::And is this connected at all to the time distortion that initially prevented the TARDIS from landing in 1938 (but not later in the episode?)? Why was the TARDIS bouncing off of old NYC included in there?
