::Sincerely, please pardon my lack of ability to properly judge if the two posts above this are sarcasm or not. I'm just bad at it. Plus, honestly, both of those posts could go either way. | |||
::That being said, I '''am''' glad to see the return of the "flickering lights", most importantly the moment towards the end when River asks about the TARDIS bulb. This makes me think that it may be leading up to something else entirely. I realize there was an Angel near them when she asked, but it would have no reason to mess with the light in the middle of broad daylight. It also seems like they do it purposely in every other situation, rather than it just happening while they're around. So perhaps something else entirely is causing it? Even if nothing is technically "causing" it and its just a plot device, it still doesn't seem to me like this was what the previous light bulb references were building up to, since there seemed to be no other reason for the inclusion of River asking about it. | |||
::The TARDIS bulb itself already had me intrigued when the Doctor replaced it in Ponds Life. How often does it even need changing? More importantly, why would it? It's not even technically a "real" light bulb, since the TARDIS exterior is just made to '''look''' like a Police Box, not '''be''' one. You would think that the light would just be another part of the illusion, and never really need to be changed. Especially since the TARDIS rebuilt itself not that terribly long ago, which does seem to affect the appearance of the outside, thought I can't imagine why. | |||
::[In regards to the TARDIS bulb and the outside appearance: I heard someone theorize somewhere else (can't really remember where, may have even been here) that the TARDIS's Chameleon Circuit isn't actually still broken, and that she chooses to keep that shape because she knows the Doctor is fond of it. Which I suppose would be a fair thing to say since the TARDIS can rebuild itself. So if the light bulb is "real" it would seem reasonable to then assume it could fix such a minor problem all on its own. That would also make me stop questioning '''why''' the outside of the TARDIS changes appearance when the inside does, since it being "stuck" as a police box seems like it would stop that from being able to happen.] [[User:Saghan|Saghan]] [[User talk:Saghan|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:39, October 1, 2012 (UTC) | |||
