It occurs to me that as Amy Pond has no knowledge of the Daleks and their previous antics on Earth that Steven Moffatt may have turned the idea of the cracks in the Universe on it's head.

What if the cracks in the Universe actually lead to our Universe, and all that is happening in the series is in an alternative, parallel Universe? It would explain a lot, why the Village seemed not quite right, and would also mean that the Doctor would have been absent for many months from our point of view.

Just a thought, and it's probably way off. What do you all think?

No idea yet. I like all the subtle clues "i called you a month ago" "its been 2 years" The crack is most obvious now

I have a horrible feeling that the crack will be used as a reset button, returning Earth to a world without any public knowledge of aliens. I really hope I am wrong on this.

I was thinking a similar thing about alternate timelines.

I really dont think Moffat will do that. Well atleast, I hope not!

I've been thinking that too, Amy not remembering the Daleks seems to confirm the idea. The series started with the TARDIS spinning out of control and jumping into the past.

I think the TARDIS also crashed through to a parrallel universe (creating the crack in the process). If the universe diverged at the point of the crash it would leave history (Pre-young Amelia) intact allowing Churchill would still remember the Doctor.

Possibly classic Who would still stand and the only events changed would be the RTD Era.

And why UNIT where not on the "Eleventh Hour" video conference!

It is something to do with the Pandorica opening, nothing to do with reset buttons.

I am useless at this sort of thing so I really have no idea about anything!

I will thoroughly enjoy finding out though.

The cracks have been in every episode.

Also in the eleventh hour when the doctor came back for Amy there was something on the screen (like a sound wave) in the tardis , the doctor turned it off before Amy saw it. Also there was some strange sound effects, a sound which wasn't too different from that played with the cracks.

I believe the doctor knows what has happen, he didn't test drive the tardis to the moon something happen in that period before coming back for Amy.... and Amy is the key.

Perhaps the doctor is not been open to Amy or cant,

I'm wondering if this is somehow going to tie in with the Cyberking from The Next Doctor not being remembered, as it should have been? Are incidents being erased from history?

My thought is that maybe the 2009 Dalek Invasion (along with other events) has been sucked through one of these cracks, leaving it totally erased from history. Although seeing as in TEH the events up to Series 2 (2007) were shown, they presumably still happened. So maybe what’s ever erasing events happened in 2008 when the Doctor meet Amy for the 2nd time. Athough if thats the case than Amy should remember Doomsday.

In theory, I think this would be a good idea, as I don't
like the fact that everyone on DW Earth knows about aliens.

In practice, though, I think I a full reset button would be
a mistake,as it would be cause narrative problems
and could also be misinterpreted as Moffat taking
a dig at the RTD era.

I thought the daleks destroyed UNIT last series. Besides the conference was of the greatest minds on earth. you could as why stephen hawkings wasnt there

I might be over thinking this but, they've had the company 'Myth' and the 'Pandorica will open' etc. I'm assuming Pandora's box, the myth? Though how that refers to cracks everywhere I don't know

But what fans really need to deal with is that SM and RTD have great respect and admiration for eachother - they have worked together and enjoyed the process - these men are professional TV writers, they have no time for the silly foibles of fan threads...RTD has left, SM is now the Executive Producer and I would very much doubt if they are on constant communication terms simply because...why would they be?

It was, to be honest, the anti-RTD fans that kept harping on about the "reset button" every five minutes along with "Deus Ex Machina" time after time - neither RTD nor SM mentioned them for good or ill

I wonder if Davros has something to do with all this? Is he supposed to be coming back?

Blimey, just think if it turned out that Moffat was actually RTD's ghost writer. Would upset a few I think who think RTD is the reset /big red button king

The crack in time is following Amy. In her bedroom as a child, On the Tardis screen, on the spaceship with her, and back in WW2 time with her.

Perhaps she has fallen through the crack in time, and this is why she cant remmber the daleks, perhaps she never seen them.

Theres also something about the place she lives in, Leadworth? The Doctor didnt seem to know where it was, and he usually knows everywhere. Also Rorys ID badge, was dated as issued in 1990 etc.

Their is a pattern emerging with the Doctor being late, When he left Amy it took him years to return, 12 I think. Then when he left again, it took him two years to return. In Todays episodes, Churchill said he was late, as Churchills had phoned a month previous. I reckon that when they return to Amy time, they will be late, and she will have missed her wedding etc.

Well, the anagrams of Amy's full name are interesting...



There's no way that could have been coincidence, especially bearing in mind what the crack in her wall as a little girl lead to...

That sounds good to me.

It's all a bit Star Trek the Next Generation in the final episode 'All Good Things'. There you had the phenomenon bigger in the past than it was in the future and it eventually would have prevented life from evolving on Earth. Perhaps they are doing something similar here.

The crack is smallest in the past but larger in the present and even larger in the future. So the time slip would appear to also be increasing 1 month in the past, 12 years in the present and presumably longer in the future. So each time the Doctor moves forward or back in time he is experiencing a timeslip and the further into the future he goes the longer the timeslip will be.

Perhaps Amy is being used to spread the crack around time and space?
Now she's hooked up with the Doctor, she's kind of like a vector infecting different places and times.
