# In [[The Time of Angels]], Amy tells the Doctor that he lets "people call you 'sir' now", even though it is never shown that she had learned of his distaste for this appellation. In fact, we have ''never'' actually seen the 11th Doctor being uncomfortable at being called 'sir' or any kind of military behaviour.

Question: River Song claims to have last seen the Doctor when Pandorica opened. How does that work? [[Special:Contributions/87.112.168.194|87.112.168.194]] 21:11, June 27, 2010 (UTC) | |||
: The event you have in mind happens in [[Flesh and Stone]], which in River's timeline happens after she was at the Pandorica. What exactly is the problem? Or do you mean that ''nothing'' can strictly speaking have happened ''after'' the Pandorica reboot? Wait, maybe now I get your question: You think that the Byzantium event did not happen as a result of the Pandorica, so River cannot go to the Byzantium as the next thing. And you may wonder how anyone can remember anything that happened at the Pandorica. Good point. | |||
: I think the way we are meant to view the Pandorica event is that "everything is back to how it was, but the cracks are gone and Amy's life is fixed". As someone said eisewhere, everything in episodes prior to [[Big Bang]] will have either happened or not happened at the writers' convenience, I don't think there's any consistent way to come up with any other viewpoint. | |||
: Or, if that's not enough timey-wimey for you, how about this: Before the Pandorica, River did go to the Byzantium as her next thing after the Pandorica, so then she did tell the Doctor that she just came from there; but now that the Pandorica exploded, she won't have done the Byzantium trip as her next thing and spoken to the Doctor there, but then you would contend that the Byzantium didn't happen after all, so she never did say that. It's as retarded as it sounds, but what else can you expect from such a dramatic plot device. [[User:Hack59|Hack59]] 21:27, June 27, 2010 (UTC) | |||
