Howling:Did anyone here notice...?
Regarding this "continuity error" about Rroy's ID badge saying he became a nurse in 1990, despite many things in the episode (modern laptop and webcam, modern phones, Bebo, Facebook, Twitter), it there scene with Rory's ID badge focuses on it to clearly show the date 1990, like they inteded for people to see it - gave it importance.
Some have noted the suspcioun surround it... because the Doctor's vision focuses on the ID bage, and shows it for quite a number of seconds. The date on there is, as some believe, a continuity error conflicting with the above mentioned 2000 things and the technology level. But it seemed deliberate that they show that conflicting date. They could have re-done the badge, of edited after. It wouldn't be hard to change it, and the camera clearly - very clearly - (meaning they would have noticed) focused on the badge in the Doctor's vision.
I think something is going on there - what the Doctor was really looking for and trying to remember was that, the badge, it's date. The Doctor would realise that it couldn't be 1990, but would be able to see that it apparantly is - *hint* cracks in time. Something bigger is going on than expected, I believe. It think this is just a piece of what the Moffat is planning - dates are wrong on purpose - because there are cracks, and something has gone wrong. WHta should be 2008, is dated 1990... time is cracking.
And we all know that Moffat's stories have had a theme - time. That 1990 was there for a reason, and I believe that's what the true important thing was in the Doctor's vision - when he saw that date, because he knows it can't be, and therfore that something has gone wrong with the timeline.
