* Was it ever explained what exactly it was that the Doctor "must know, and must never know"? Is it Amy's pregnancy and the Doctor's death, respectively? Why would the Silence care if the Doctor knew about those things? | * Was it ever explained what exactly it was that the Doctor "must know, and must never know"?

::I would guess everyone has it backwards.. he must never know about the pregnancy and must know about his death. But it's all conjecture. | ::I would guess everyone has it backwards.. he must never know about the pregnancy and must know about his death. But it's all conjecture. | ||
* I'm not sure its clear- how "far along" is Amy and when was she taken? As the conversation at the end of the episode (the one Rory listens into with the red dot thing) implies that Amy was pregnant whilst aboard the TARDIS. This makes sense, as the Doctor implies that Melody was conceived on the Ponds' wedding night, on the TARDIS. However, in TIA, she cannot have been further than the 1st trimester; the Doctor comments on the fact that she'd "gained a couple of pounds". Any further, and surely Rory would have noticed as they were sleeping together. So assuming they spent max 1 month in the TARDIS post-conception, then 2 months later, TIA events begin. The relevance of this would be that there has to be a certain amount of time between when Amy is taken and the end of The Rebel Flesh, maybe 6 months if we assume she was 3 months along when taken. So I think the relevant points here are: 1) What's the approximate timeline between TBB and TIA? 2) At what point in Day of the Moon is Amy taken? 3) Is there any concept of how long there is between the point of Amy being taken and her awakening in Demon's Run? | |||
