And another one.

I haven't seen anyone mentioning this before, so I thought I would post it.
Spoilers for "Flesh and Stone"

In the last scene, in Amy's bedroom, the Doctor pushes her back in the TARDIS and then looks at her clock.

Take a close look - there is something wrong with it.

It is night time (Proof: it is dark outside and it is 5 minutes past the moment he picked her up in "TEH") - obviously it is midnight because the clock changes from the 25th to 26th June.
Why is it then that the time on the clock turns from 11:59 AM to 12:00 PM???

If it is a mistake, then how did they manage to do that? No normal clock would do that.

what's going on in that picture behind the clock...

I'm assuming it's just Amy being goofy/sexy with one of her friends? Or am I missing something?

Is not mistake.* Is 12 hours missing... including the time period in which Amy was supposed to have a *morning* wedding. Oops.

Also, this means that the Doctor has 12 hours in which to "sort" Amy before the Time Field explodes, or explosionates, or whatever it's going to do.

Good thing there is two of him. ;-)


*Is also the first digital clock we've seen in Leadworth, FWIW.

There are actually 24 hours missing. It goes from noon on the 25th to noon on the 26th ;)

No normal clock would do that.

Actually, every normal clock does that, every day. At noon. Mixing up AM and PM is a common mistake when setting a digital clock, and I suppose it's just possible that the set folks screwed up, and no one caught it. On the other hand, maybe they intended it as a timey-wimey thing. We'll have to wait and see.

I've never had a clock that switches to the next date/day when turning from 11.59am to 12.00pm

They only do that when it turns from 11.59pm to 12.00am

I think it's a timey-whimy thing too. Even if the clock was set wrong, it wouldn't be able to change dates like that. They had to 'make' it do it. So it's probably intentional.

[info]perseph

May 2 2010, 18:38:48 UTC 2 years ago

Ooh, good catch. That is strange. No idea what it means, but since they focused in on it like that, I'm assuming it was deliberate and will be quite disappointed now if it turns out just to be a mistake.

[info]auryn29a

May 2 2010, 18:38:51 UTC 2 years ago

As much as I want to believe that was intentional, Moffat's already said that the nametag thing was a mistake. So maybe they're just sloppy this season. Or he could have been lying.

[info]fairyfloss_love

Haha! Win! I was just about to post this.

There's only one explanation I can think of; that time somehow skipped from 11:59 a.m. on Friday to noon on Saturday. In such a case, why? WHY?! *is anxious for an explanation*

Other than that, I HAVE to know how they got the clock to change dates when it went from 11:59 to noon. 'Cause yeah, no clock would change dates going to noon. At least none that I've seen anyway.

ETA: In that last statement I meant that the clock wouldn't go from 11:59 to noon and have the date change as well.

Actually, the time on the clock was put in in post-production. If you watch the Confidential carefully, they show the clock, but the face of it is blank. So, it could be a mistake.

I seriously love this showww it's so in depth and my mind is fuckingblow at the amount of detail this season. I guess there will be a day in which the Doctor has to fix the crack in order to prevent it from taking over.

[info]ladyofjest

May 2 2010, 19:52:45 UTC 2 years ago

It could be something elaborate and intentional... or it could be that the clock-face reading was put in digitally in post-production, the tech got the AM/PM wrong, and no one noticed until it was aired and us detail-oriented fans started picking apart the episode.

I can't help but agree with you. I mean, aside from anything else, getting a shot of a digital clock switching over just right must be at least a little tricky, and, well, some people get AM and PM confused. I would never have spotted this ebcause it wouldn't occur to me that 12 PM isn't midnight. xD

At the premiere in New York, Moffat said he would lie to viewers to keep us from guessing correctly.

[info]saku_teiki

May 2 2010, 19:57:32 UTC 2 years ago

One more thing, besides everything else everyone's said.

The Doctor said he's returned them to two minutes (or so) after they'd initially left. Which would make it nighttime, right? So why is it AM on the clock?

I mean, I know the Doctor has issues bringing people back to the right time, but really. It was probably dark outside (any screenshots of the windows?), so her clock is most likely seriously wrong. But they could have fixed that.

AUGH this is really annoying me because ... well... it's probably not that important. xD

AHAH! This was from Tumblr.



That is ONE BRIGHT MOON. I remember it being bright when he first landed in her backyard, too, so it might just be bright out.

Could it be something to do with the clock reset the Doctor made two years ago? I was rewatching parts of the Eleventh Hour just now and I noticed this too. 11AM to 12PM and it left around the same time that post-Flesh and Stone Amy and the Doctor came back to the room.





[info]sushigal007

Oooh, just thought. There's a few minutes of conversation before they fly off in the first episode. There's also a few minutes where they talked about the wedding and then Amy tried to jump the Doctor. So at the same point in time, there is an Amy and a Doctor in her room, and an Amy and a Doctor in the garden. We know from Father's Day that it's a bad idea to cross your timeline, so maybe the cracks are something to do with that? Maybe they end up at that point in time again, perhaps in the kitchen or something.
