Nice touch having her in it BUT older Amelia would then no longer be angry with the Dr for keeping her waiting etc (as she was in 11th hour)...so a bit confused as to how this fits in!!

Yes, then older Amy woke to find the TARDIS had materialised outside.
He still kept her waiting - as she didn't get to go with him as a child. She still had to convince others he was even real.
Not as such, but she knew fairytale type stories of the types of things she'd end up doing. The Doctor going back to young Amelia and telling her that created the unwavering faith that Amy had in the Doctor, so in a way Amy was the architect all along!
I agree, and I will also admit that I was wrong. Him going back to her and telling her about her life to come would account for her disappointment and unwavering trust (more so than a chance encounter).
Of course, in a way, a weird way, it was an alternative world - sort of, wasn't it - because it was the Universe with the crack and...
Or was that?
*head explodes*
No, in the original timeline it wasn't necessary, and TEH would have panned out totally differently if she had had more hope that he'd come back. Cricket bat and handcuffed to a radiator? I don't think so.
No because he didn't know that at the time.
Yes
Wow, bullseye :eek:
No it was far more than that - it was telling her what would happen e.g. the whale and other crucial things.
No, I do think so. She would still not have known that he'd take so long to come back, and that she'd have to see so many psychiatrists! That was why she used the handcuffs and cricket bat. Those stories that older Amy told the Doctor to go back and tell were necessary all along to create her hope and faith in the first place.
*I may be over-thinking this slightly
That's it yeah the Doctor didn't know but she did so her childhood from that point on was basically time locked to him so the TARDIS took him to the earliest point in her life it could.
I had thought that last night but didn't post it.
Glad it wasn't just me!!
Very true!!
Like I say, it wasn't necessary in the original timeline. I understand your point, but that timeline has now been wiped out, he can't go back.
JF was saying (or at least the post itself says) that the Doctor is going to tell Amelia that he's not coming back until she's older, and that once he's told her that it becomes a fixed point that he can't change, (not based on the Tardis, but on his unwillingness to meddle with those fixed points).
Didn't we have enough fixed/unfixed/part-fixed points for no reason last night, without having to start to invent our own too?! :eek:
And I don't think the timeline was 'wiped out' otherwise there would be no Amy at all. The time line was rather 'mended' so that people and time etc didn't end up going through the cracks. It was the cracks that were wiped out, allowing things to progress as they should have. (well- apart from a time traveller meddling in peoples otherwise normal lives that is )
