::::You want a simple explanation? Here's one. The Byzantium crashed and its home box went home. Now, in this world, when there's a crash, the authorities go out, get the flight recorder and conduct a full investigation. That's what that unit was doing. Why was River Song there? She was doing something with the unit when it was ordered to investigate and since the Bishop had to go take part in the investigation, he couldn't drop her back at Stormhaven first. I am not offering it as '''the''' explanation. For that, you'd need some statement in the show or from Moffat. Happy now?

::::Well if nothing seen in the episode is reliable, then it's pretty dang useless, isn't it? If a Crack can come along and rewrite reality so whatever happens doesn't really matter, what's the point in following any of the stories?

70.36.140.19: No. The point behind the question is exactly the opposite of that. The point is: "Assuming that it '''is '''what the Doctor says, why does it still '''look '''as if it can't be?" Icecreamdif seems to have grasped the idea of the question, even if he has no more answer than I do. -- (No idea what my IP address will be this time but was 89.242.76.105 when I asked the question) [[Special:Contributions/2.101.55.215|2.101.55.215]] 20:19, September 14, 2011 (UTC) | 70.36.140.19: No. The point behind the question is exactly the opposite of that.

Nor is it necessary to invoke some timey-wimey theory to explain what these remnants are. When the Doctor asked Amy what happened to her parents, it clearly distressed her to think about that wouldn't it disturb you not to remember something so important? So she didn't think about them. Who's this guy in Roman armor with you? Answer "Huh. I don't remember. Some guy." The real issue from our viewpoint is the pesky bootstrap paradox and the realisation that cause-and-effect is frequently an illusion. Next time you going into a room and can't remember why you went into it, think about that. [[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 21:47, September 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
