Talk:The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)

Date for modern-day scenes?
Do we know for sure that the modern-day scenes in this episode were in 2012, or should the page say 21st Century instead? Unless I'm mistaken, the scenes in The Power of Three took place around 2020, given that it was Amy and Rory's 10th wedding anniversary; I'd be inclined to assume they weren't venturing back in time just to read in New York.


 * The Doctor explicitly says, at 12:05 in, "Tried that, if you noticed, and we are back where we started in 2012". And near the end he repeats it. So yes, it's 2012. It's also clearly the 2012 New York skyline (or at least somewhere before 2014), because the new WTC towers aren't visible.


 * As for when TPO3 took place, that's complicated; there's a whole thread on the Talk page about that, and another one at http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Howling:Dating_the_Amy_era. Anyway, whatever year that was, this seems to be a few years later. So, why did they visit New York in 2012? I think that's a topic for The Howling; for this article, the only thing that's directly relevant is that it definitely was 2012. --70.36.140.233talk to me 22:45, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
