Howling:Messages for Amy Pond

IMDB SPOILERS (maybe)

The IMDb summary for "Closing Time" says "After traveling for 200 years and leaving messages for Amy Pond across time and space the Doctor realizes his time is up, its time to settle down and accept his future at Lake Silencio." Now, we know that there were messages for Amy and Rory in "The Impossible Astronaut" in the form of weird moments in history, and The Doctor showing up in a fez in an old comedy show on their TV. But could there be other messages, about how to save him, or about how he may have saved himself? This would, of course, be similar to Season 5, where The Doctor tells Amy she has to remember, which is what ends up saving him after he's been erased from time. So I'm wondering if previous episodes contain clues about how The Doctor will get out of this.

So far, all I've been able to find (and it's a stretch), is when young Amelia says "fish-fingers and custard" in "Let's Kill Hitler." The voice doesn't quite sound like the Voice Interface any more, and there seems to be a certain gravity to the moment. Like I said, it's a stretch--it could just be The Doctor imagining things from the effects of the poison; it could even be the TARDIS saving her Doctor (er... her Thief)--but it's an interesting moment. But... it's also not even something Amy sees, so how could it be a message for her?

Anyone else notice anything like this? Once again, I'm considering combing old episodes looking for clues... 216.239.45.4 20:26, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

I agree: it sounded to me as if it lacked the echoing quality of the voice interface and was something he drew from itself. Which has no impact on the matter, really, except for some fairly subtle issues, and indicates the affection he feels for Amy: it's not the woman, it's the trusting child he cares about. And never pay attention to IMDB, except for my reviews, which are brilliaant. Boblipton 21:42, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
