Memo to Russell T Davies

That, Rusty, is how you implement a Giant Reset Button without offending your viewers.

But what are we going to need a Giant Reset Button for? Presumably (rampant speculation) because River Song was jailed because she killed the Doctor.

Seems plausible. And it leaps all continuity glitches (excepting possibly the Weeping Angels being able to look at each other without freezing) in a single bound.

Did the Weeping Angels look at each other without freezing? I thought they were being careful not to.

Looked like it to me.

Agreed, although I suppose it depends on how you define "observation." If your field of view happens to take in something, but you are not focused on it, does that count as observation of said object?

Although the thought of waves of angels blinking, in rows from the back of the formation to the front, is really quite amusing...

It certainly sounded a lot like she did. I think she knows she's in a different time stream, though, because she sounded genuinely caring and not at all guilty.

Ja!

Giant, Red, Shiny, Candy-Like Reset Button!

Yes, there was much speculation over here last night as well... although with the now-classic pattern of "Thing X will happen to unknown person Y!" "Who?" (*mumble mumble mumble* *swirly passage of time* Dr. Who, that's who.) is ever a source of bemusement.

That episode was chock full of timey wimey goodness.

Even if the Giant Reset Button is about to be pushed, I would guess from the reaction of the villagers in Ep.1 that Earth has some experience of alien visitors.
