:::There is also a timeline in which Rory existed up until he got eaten by the time energy. This one is also simple, and it's exactly what we've seen on the show. This is the one that affects the Doctor. | :::There is also a timeline in which Rory existed up until he got eaten by the time energy.

:::Amy doesn't live on either of those timelines. It's possible that there's a third, very complicated, timeline for her. | :::Amy doesn't live on either of those timelines. It's possible that there's a third, very complicated, timeline for her. | ||
:::But it's also possible that she just jumped from one to the other, and her history and memory are therefore inconsistent. The human brain is built to confabulate, to paper over inconsistencies. You and I don't remember nearly as much as we think we do, but our brains fill in the gaps with whatever seems to fit the story. Her brain will do the same thing if she tries to remember how the Doctor figured out Prisoner Zero, or why she went to Venice with the Doctor, or why he refused to sleep with her, etc.. It doesn't matter that in this case, it's not just her memory but her actual past that's inconsistent; there's no way she'd be able to tell the difference. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 12:54, May 30, 2010 (UTC) | :::But it's also possible that she just jumped from one to the other, and her history and memory are therefore inconsistent.

:::I think for now I'll just go with what you said. Even though I was trying to say almost the same thing anyway I think. But until we see how Amy recalls situations, it's going to be tough to be sure how it works. Also the fact that the engagement ring still exists makes everything more confusing. Especially because (I'm sure people will agree with me on this) it will be significant in later episodes. [[User:V00D00M0NKY|V00D00M0NKY]] 13:01, May 30, 2010 (UTC) |
