:Well, this was one that I really liked a lot early on, but as the season goes on I think it's just more "the way 11 talks" than a plot hint. It fits in with his constantly saying he's stupid, telling himself to think, etc. But I still keep watching for the one example every episode, and most of them do have exactly one.... --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 04:31, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

I can actually imagine the "There's something..." meme and the perception filter meme being one and the same. "There's something [important that someone isn't aware of]" is the whole definition of what perception filters do. [[User:Agonaga|Agonaga]] 04:43, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

:Maybe this even ties in with the Hitchhikers Guide references, and someone's get a Somebody Else's Problem field, which is like a perception filter but even better--even if people do notice it, they assume it's somebody else's problem and ignore it. :) More seriously, yeah, I can definitely see the connection you're talking about. And that makes this broader than just that one sentence per episode--all of the many instances where the Doctor isn't getting something and uses different sentences about it fit in. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 23:29, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

::Ep 1: Full of perception filters.  Ep 2: Forgetting about the beast. Ep 3: Everything the Daleks did. ("Deception is second nature to you!") Ep 4/5: Natural [[Perception_filter|p.f.]]'s on the Angels, not knowing all the statues were Angels.  Ep 6: Natural aversion to seeing the truth. Ep 7: The whole thing, incl. the Dream Lord's origin seeming "obvious" to the Doctor but not Rory & Amy.  Ep 8-9: Amy can't remember Rory at the end.  Ep 10: Couldn't see the Space Cockatrice.
