Talk:Amy Pond
The mother-in-law
Since the legality of the marriage between Eleven and River is very much in doubt, isn't it dubious to call her — especially in the lead — the Doctor's mother-in-law. She may very well be no such damned thing.

- It has been stated on the show twice, though. She says it herself in The Wedding of River Song, and the Doctor says he's married in the Asylum of the Daleks prequel... d ●•· 16:47, September 25, 2012 (UTC)
- River calls him "husband" in Angels Take Manhattan as well. -- Tybort (talk page) 19:07, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
The Henri VIII Story
In "A Twon Called Mercy", Rory mentionned the Doctor leaving his phone charger in Henry VIII's suite. This event is depicted in the following story, "The Power of Three". in order to keep a chronological timeline, I moved the little synopsis of ATCM in the middle of the TPOT synopsis. Anyone who doesn't agree with this, feel free to undo changes. Chapeltok ☎ 08:51, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
- There's not really enough in The Power of Three to say that the charger incident is definitively connected to when Amy marries Henry VIII. The Eleventh Doctor's visited 1938 like three times after all. -- Tybort (talk page) 23:15, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
Third Scots regular
I know I've read somewhere that the Brigadier is of Scottish descent (I think Terror of the Zygons may have been the source, though I haven't watched it), but is that enough to call him a Scot? -- Tybort (talk page) 19:06, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
- You're questioning the Scots credentials of a man with the name Stewart? Brave man, you are. Suffice it to say that both his first and last appearances firmly establish him as a "practising" Scot. From Zygons:
- SJS: I didn't expect to see you in a kilt.
- BRIG: My dear Miss Smith, my name is Lethbridge-Stewart. The clan Stewart.
- SJS: Sorry, I thought you were doing a Doctor (referencing the Doc's faux Scots garb)
- BRIG: What an absurd idea.
- Also, costuming in The Web of Fear gives him a cap with a clear Tartan pattern on it. Dialogue doesn't say he's from a Scots regiment, but it doesn't really need to, in light of the cap.
- I'm sure there's also plenty of evidence from other media. The Warkeeper's Crown, as I recall, stresses his lineage with emphasis on older members of his family that he would have personally met as a child. So it's not distant Scots ancestry. I'm sure there are books which characterise him as a Scot, too, but I don't have those citations to hand. I think he's actually meant to be born in Scotland, but ended up with an RP accent simply because of his military education down south. Again, though, I don't have a citation readily to hand for that.
- But Web and Terror give us ample evidence to say that Amy is very definitely is the third televised regular Scot.

Year of Death
I don't think we have enough information to really determine the year of death for Amy or Rory. Doing so involved too many assumptions - exactly when they were sent back to, their exact ages at the time that happened, whether or not those ages were accurately recorded (or reported) once they got there, even the time of year they actually died in, etc. Spreee ☎ 19:51, October 13, 2012 (UTC)Spreee
