Jings. The name badge was not a mistake. In the second episode, the doctor asks Rory if he can remember waiting for Amy 2000 years. Clearly, Rory is still an Auton Roman - that is why he could have been employed at the hospital way before his apparent age would allow. Did a Rory ever exist or was he conjured from Amy's history book - there is a long faced character on the cover.

The long faced chappie on the book's cover was the Roman Commander who came back from a week away to find "Cleopatra" had taken over his camp - even though she "is in Egypt - and dead".

Please take another look. There is indeed a character on the book cover who is the Roman (I assume) General who has been away. But, there is another, younger character (tall, thin and with a Rory-esque nose) on the cover who looks quite like Rory.

It seems to me unlikely that the production team would go to all the trouble of manufacturing a badge for Rory, but then make such a fundamental error in so doing. But more importantly, during the Doctor's"What did I see?" sequence, the camera pans down to the badge and makes a point of showing it. We have already seen Rory by this point (when nurse Rory is having a conversation in the hospital with the medical doctor), We know his name and we know what he does for a living - so there is no good reason to show us the badge.

For that episode we are supposed (I think) to be on earth after the universe has been destroyed and is being kept going with the burning Tardis. There are no stars in the night scenes in that episode. I also think it is interesting that when the spaceship first appears in the sky it looks rather like the burning Tardis in the final episode - when Amy asks what it is, the Doctor replies it is being "filtered" by something or other (I can't remember the exact speech).

I think that many of these things are put in there deliberately for us to ponder, without there necessarily being any intention to explain each and every thing to us - one of the functions of the writer is to make us fill in some of the gaps ourselves.

Having said all that, I think the sixth person (to return to the original post) is a member of the crew who is there by mistake.

I didn't spot this mystery person until pointed out by the OP here. (Well spotted, BTW).

But it doesn't look like a real person to me - it looks like it was drawn on using CGI in post-production. Its just a black shape.

So I think its been added deliberately, not just a crew member.

But it might still not be significant, just an in-joke.

Or maybe its Omega!



Dillows

You'll be telling us the guy in the space suit is the Valeyard next!!

That's a lot to extrapolate from a date on a badge. The purpose of scanning down to the badge is to show the Doctor's thought process that the nurse works in a hospital, and not, say a doctor's surgery, a vet or a dentist - confirming his prediction in the next scene that Rory had seen the patient in a coma.

have look a bit closer the person is red so is amys top

Coincedence or the moff is being very particular

Ok, so can someone explain to me why the Doctor/ Amy/ Rory/ River/ Canton would be skulking behind a beach hut shaped TARDIS watching all the events play out again, without doing anything constructive about it? Only the Doctor still dies, and if we are to assume some sort of rescue plan is in place that we have not seen yet (though teased at by Moff by showing this fleeting image), surely a non-death scenario would have played out?

My guess is Eye-Patch lady, Madame K, or whoever, following Amy, ready to swap her with the Ganger.

I think it's the rani and that river song is a earlier rani.

I've already said that - and i agree with you - coz i can't see it being as obvious as Amy's Daughter and this seems the only other female character around.

Can't wait to say "I told you so" if by some sheer fluke it happens to be right!
