Howling:The Sonic Probe in The Girl Who Waited

Was it slightly farfetched that a present day kiss-o-gram stuck in a secluded facility somehow learned to harness sonic technology and built a sonic probe? --00:04, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Given that the kiss-o-gram has had three timelines flowing through her head for decades, a year to study under a Time Lord, and then thirty-six years to build the probe when she has access to technology so advanced they can fool around with time flows, not terribly.

I think Boblipton has just about completed the discussion for us. One point, however: A kiss-o-gram isn't what Amy is (or was); a kiss-o-gram is (or was) a job she did. People aren't defined by their jobs. Anyway, we live in a world where our understanding of how the universe works, on every scale from the subatomic to the cosmological, was revolutionised by -- in your terms -- a patent clerk (Albert Einstein). What's "far fetched" after that? --2.101.60.159talk to me 00:52, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Amy figuring out how to build technology that advanced was a bit far-fetched, but not impossible. Maybe she asked that computer for help. I shouldn't think that having three timelines flowing through her head would be of any help, and the Doctor never really seems to train his companions technologically. Still, it was a a good enough story that that falls under willing suspension of disbelief.Icecreamdif talk to me 05:33, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
