PS, Doing a search, I found another similar thread from early last year. However, the consensus at the time was that Moffat wasn't actually erasing anything from history (even the original poster agreed), and obviously nobody could have come up with any good answers before seeing The Big Bang anyway. So I think it's better to keep this new thread instead of reopening the old one. But if someone who's more experienced with this wiki than me disagrees, I'll dig it up and reopen it. --[[Special:Contributions/99.33.26.0|99.33.26.0]] 03:57, May 7, 2011 (UTC) | PS, Doing a search, I found another similar thread from early last year.

In ''Rememberance of the Daleks'' the Seventh Doctor has already explained why nobody remembers the Loch Ness Monster. He said something along the lines of "humans have a remarkable capacity for self deception," which has always been a theme in both the classic and the new series. More importantly, Ace does not remember ever hearing about the Loch Ness Monster, but Sarah Jane still remembers it in ''School Reunion''. This means that it was not erased, but people simply didn't believe it. Your first thoery doesn't work because we know that before the universe was restored, one event before 2000, ''The Next Doctor'', was erased. Besides, there were classic episodes that took place in the 21st century. If the Cybermen never attack Earth in the 21st century, Zoe won't be a companion. The erasures happened '''before''' the ''Big Bang'', so all your theories about Amy rebooting the universe inaccurately are wrong, or people would have remembered the invasions before the finale. The cracks have just always been shown to appear at random points in space-time, so they appeared in the Dalek invasion, Victorian London, Saturnya, the the Byzantium, Starship UK, etc. Some of the events that they erased were events that we had seen or heard of already, to show the audience what the cracks were capable of.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 13:15, May 7, 2011 (UTC) | |||
