'''Welcome to the Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first. British English, please We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card. Spoilers aren't cool We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details. Other useful stuff Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
 * the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
 * our Manual of Style
 * our image use policy
 * our user page policy
 * a list of people whose job it is to help you

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial

So, first of all, it must be established that the Doctor had dropped Amy and Rory off back in present-day Earth to wait for him while he searched for Melody Pond during the summertime between series 6 parts 1 and 2 (which is surely intended to be interpreted as being June - August, the real-life time of the mid-season break, since the dates of series 6 seem to parallel the real dates it aired, following the example of the Doctor Who series 5 finale’s airing on the day it occurred, with events of the first episode taking place the day it aired while taking into account the time difference between England and the characters’ location in America; Amy’s saying they had waited “all summer” for the Doctor in the mid-season premiere, just like the audience had waited for the show; and a newspaper in that episode seeming to feature the date the “27th” on it, while the episode actually aired August 27). The reason the date on the newspaper is ignored is because it must either be an error or some kind of timey-wimey, Bad-Wolf-Easter-egg-style echo resulting from the events of the series 6 finale, in which all of time itself occurs on April 22, 2011, since the newspaper’s date would suggest the events of Closing Time take place April 19-21 of that year. That is impossible because the Amy and Rory the Doctor sees in the episode most definitely cannot be from before the series’ start on April 22, as Amy is stopped by a little girl for an autograph due to the big advertisement in the shop for her perfume “Petrichor,” a word she first learns while traveling with the Doctor after the start of series 6 part 1, and the Doctor cannot have ever dropped them off back in time to before they originally left, or else there would be two sets of Amy and Rory living in England at the same time. That is something the Doctor would surely avoid in order to ensure the prevention of any potential paradoxes or problematic changes to time - especially considering his not allowing the couple to go talk to their future selves in the series 5 episode The Hungry Earth, and the fact that he would not even deliver the messages in the series 6 finale himself because it would involve crossing his own time stream - as it would be impossible for such a situation to go unnoticed, with the inevitable confusion and conflict that would arise with the couple and the family and friends they would visit, the legal and logistical issues that their simultaneous coexistence would entail, and the future Amy’s evidently rising to some degree of fame. Also, if that were truly the writers’ intent, would they not certainly have called more attention to the fact to confirm such a crazy and plot-significant situation? Additionally, the episode is all about Craig Owens’ having to take care of his baby all on his own when his girlfriend leaves for the weekend, and it ends on a Sunday, as indicated by the Doctor when he comments on the struggle of hiring glaziers on that day toward the end of the episode, but the actual April 19-21, 2011, was in fact a Tuesday - Thursday, not a Friday - Sunday. And, though such details are not always adhered to by the canonical dates in the Whoniverse, it is still worthy to note the further evidence against such a dating that can be gleaned from the presence of leafless trees in the background and the Doctor’s telling a shop employee “good afternoon” while it is completely dark outside. --Game-fanatic ☎  20:42, January 2, 2019 (UTC)
