Finally, an anchor for this insane timeline!
So, Amy Pond's wedding date is 6/26/2010. Which means the Doctor first crashed in her backyard 14 years prior, in 1996, and came back and dealt with Prizoner Zero and jailers in 2008. Thank you!
I don't recall if we have an dates to anchor the bulk of the Prizoner Zero action, even to whether it took place before or after TSE/JE, which happened in 2008 for the rest of us but not for Amy. Due to an explosion on the date of her wedding in 2010 that has rewritten time. Okay, so the timeline headache isn't going away anytime soon, it's just dulled a bit.
Rewritten time has soooo much potential, both positive and negative. Can't wait to see where that leads.
This has, clearly, overshadowed the epsiode itself. Which had some neat tricks and some cool character developments, not to mention WTF with River killing "the best man she's ever known"??? Who, other than the Doctor, would she ever say that about?
But ... I got bored with the angels. They no longer "kill" the way they did in "Blink." Their mythology has simultaneously expanded and become far less interesting. Bummer. They also ceased being the Big Bad when The Crack started erasing people from time, behaving far more like the angels from before but to the nth degree.
Amy was a bit off in this ep. Far more damsel-y than she's been before now, and then suddenly trying to jump the Doctor, which was just ... bizarre. Seriously, that just didn't even seem like her, and yet not quite dramatically enough to go, "She's possessed!" Though the Doctor's cluelessness was amusing.
