Nora, the Doctor specifically made reference to that in the Angels episode, so I'd agree that it's important. And Tom, that's very cool about the cars!! If, in fact, Leadworth is actually in the nineties, that would explain why Amy doesn't "remember" the Daleks. Because it hadn't happened yet.

In the vein of odd timey wimey stuff - Rory's desire for a mullet would be explained by him being from the 90's. That doesn't explain how there's 2010 technology in the same timeline though.

I heart the duck pond without any ducks theory.

And yes, now I totally believe that Amy is living out of her time.

If so: Moffat - good job, man.

All this whitefont is killing me! How far behind the UK is the US?

Shir, is it that she's living out of her time I wonder? If we take as read that the first episode/Rory is the 90's, why do they look the same 'two years' later when it's her wedding day in 2010? Is her whole village then 'out of time' as the doctor said in the dream world?

Hmmmm interesting.

Jars - maybe. Could be. Can't wait to find out!

I wonder if Tennant/Rusty commented about series 5 yet.

Kathy, I think you guys are three behind. There's the one with X, and the one where the Doctor Y, and then this latest one.

In response to the UK Who discussion: I thought something could be up when the DW production company started swearing blind that Rory's badge was a production mistake. I'd like to hope that isn't the kind of mistake they'd make on DW. On the other hand, finales are never what I've built them up to be, so I'm fully prepared for that to be a let-down with a numerical error. The ducks, though - that's a nice enough riddle to be going somewhere. Among others I hope we've missed - I want Moffat to bring out some surprises. The cameos of all the past characters might come in handy, too, if we're talking temporal paradoxes.

Shir, re your comment about the Doctor being a Pandora's Box himself: I hadn't thought of it quite like that, but that's interesting. And yes, I think the evil alliance's serious mistake in assuming that because it's only the Doctor who can *pilot* the TARDIS, no one else can *crash* it, is going to be important. I'm waiting for a cause-and-effect paradox of truly Whovian proportions. As signalled by the charred fragment of the TARDIS.

Right now I want there to be significance to the fact that the universe ends on Amy's wedding day. Because currently, the TARDIS was drawn to that date BECAUSE it was an important date for it to, you know, explode the Time Vortex or whatever. But why that date? What brought it there? I don't want a causality loop. (I mean, I am okay with causality loops sometimes, but there's been so much ominousness about this particular date that I want it to mean something, not just be a coincidental point on a loop.)

le nubian, I watched The Gates ... I'm wondering if it's going to last more than a few episodes.
