:::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.

:::Theory? Theory. We have been proposing that the Doctor may or may not have appeared as new and old Doctor in Flesh and Stone. And he told Amy to remember. Remember what? I think it might be Rory. But why would he tell her before she knew what it was about? Well, simply because if she was told AFTER they had joined with Rory, she would have forgotten all about it. She would have forgotten it because it was about Rory. But - if she remembers - how will Rory have lived? Because Rory will have lived up until that point on the hillside. Amy mentions she thought she saw another person - residual memory? Or a memory fighting to become truth? We never see exactly what happens to Rory - he may be lost, he may not. Moffat has been telling us all season that time doesn't work the way we think it does. Maybe this is what he means.
