My 8 y.o.'s theory/'fix it' for 'Cold Blood' (DW 5.09).

[elisi]

The girls have not really said anything about Rory's death, bless them, but this morning Impish Girl told me that she'd worked it out - Amy and the Doctor weren't in the real world!

This might seem obvious, but this is how she continued: "Remember when they were in that dream world and Rory died, and Amy said it couldn't be the real world because Rory wasn't there? Well now Rory isn't there so it can't be the real world!"

I ♥ my smart little girl very, very much! :)

(Also I did some joining the arcs-of-the-season dots in this comment, basically concluding that Amy and Rory's wedding is one of the major threads, and something will happen!)


ETA: This fic omg! Just a Moment. (Major spoilers for 'Cold Blood'!)

You know, that's actually a really good theory. I like that you're raising a little future meta-writer!

Isn't it? I'm very proud! :)

I like talking to them about stuff, it's nice to know that it rubs off a little.

That's pretty damn awesome.

Young children can be very insightful *nods*

Actually, a theory similar to what your child said is going around, that maybe where the Doctor and Amy currently are is some weird warped space that really shouldn't be there, or maybe they're still dreaming that this is happening.

Other things to take note of.....the taunt "The Doctor in the TARDIS doesn't know" now seemingly makes some sort of sense what with the...... shrapnel *cries*, it just increased the evidence that another Doctor is running around trying to make things right, one without a TARDIS.

Memories and "knowing" also keep popping up as themes, along with weddings, cracks, and running away.

Ugh my head is spinning, if nothing else, series 5 certainly makes you THINK.

Isn't it just? *is proud mother*

Anything is possible (which is why it is fun! *g*), and I wouldn't put it past Moffat to do something like that. I think it's unlikely, but not impossible!

Oooooh, I'd not thought of it like that. Mostly it reminded me of River's description of him in the Library episodes, but that could be a very interesting twist... Although they can't get rid of the TARDIS permanently, that's not allowed. I'm guessing it'll be more a case of re-writing history. Hmmm.

*nods* Esp. what with the crack changing people's memories, meaning that nothing's fixed.

IT SURE DOES! (I love it. *g*)

*gasp* of COURSE the TARDIS can't be gone! That's like.... the soul of the show! No TARDIS, no Doctor Who! I'm just saying something is probably going to happen regarding the Doctor running around with no TARDIS! And surely if things are going to be set straight, the TARDIS must be set straight too!

I'm going on a bit of a tangent here but I need someone to ramble to sometimes! Someone else mentioned that the situation surrounding the engagement ring is like the duck pond thing. Just because people can't remember Rory, doesn't mean he was never there, much like how Amy knew the duck pond was a duck pond even though there "never are any ducks". So yeah, I think this is going to be important.

LOL! Well exactly! And as for a TARDIS-less Doctor, trying to fix things, that could be very interesting... Especially since it'd echo 'The Eleventh Hour' where he saved the world without the TARDIS or his screwdriver or anything! :)

Rambling is good! I even have an appropriate icon!

Oooooh very neat. Yes. I like it. Thank you!
