Howling:Rory's death
I think this also has something to do with the entire erasing things idea. This just turns into one big plothole: if Rory is absorbed and therefore completely erased from reality, and Amy forgets him, this brings up big problems.
- How can Amy still remember the soldiers that were abosrbed by the crack?
- How did the Doctor survive actually STICKING HIS HAND IN IT when everything else is completely erased?
- How did the Doctor discover the source of Prisoner 0's power without Rory's help in TEH?
I honestly though Steve Moffat was better than this. Discuss. the twelfth doctor 11:56, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
Hi !
Whilst I agree that it is odd the Doctor can stick his hand inside the crack and be 'fine', whereas Rory was absorbed - however I am sure there is an explanation. However you cannot really blame Steven Moffat for this as it isn't his script. He didn't write the episode, therefore you're blame must lie with the writer, which was Christopher Chibnall.

1) You mean the clerics? Because they were not directly involved in her life. That was explained in the episode. Basically the more involved the person in in your life the more likely you will forget them.
2) Someone kinda tried to explain this somewhere else. The person said that it wanted Rory for some reason and not the Doctor. Kind of like the crack has a mind of it's own. I'm sure that one will be explained given time.
3) Time was re-written. That's like asking why the Doctor left Amy alone in the forest. Time was re-written around the fact that Rory no longer exists so even though they didn't go back to show you how everything played out without him, to everyone besides the Doctor it all happened differently. It still happened but in a different way.

Precisely. The crack has a mind of its own. There's a design behind all the changes in the timeline. This, I feel, adequately explains any apparent "plotholes". Bluebox444 12:24, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
