Quotes
====================================

River: I absolutely trust him.

"A forest in a bottle, in a spaceship, in a maze; have I impressed you yet, Amy Pond?"  ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"The angels are feasting, sir.  Soon we'll be able to absorb enough power to consume this vessel, this world, and all the stars and worlds beyond." ~ Angel Bob

"We shall take her.  We shall take all of you.  We shall have dominion over all time and space." ~ Angel Bob

"A living mental image in a living human mind. We stare at them to stop them from getting closer, we don't even blink, and that is exactly what they want because as long as our eyes are open, they can climb inside.  There's an angel in her mind." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

Trivia
====================================
The Doctor states his age is nine hundred and seven, which suggests that a year has passed since the events of The End of Time.  However, the Doctor has been claiming he's 900 and something years old since his sixth regeneration, and gave his age at over 2 millenium in his third regeneration, suggesting his is intentionally obstructing knowledge of his true age...or that he has lost count.

The method the Doctor uses to dispose of the Weeping Angels mirrors his method of vanquishing the Cybermen and Daleks in Doomsday. However, Because the cracks in time never existed (re: The Big Bang), the events of this story may have changed.

According to Steven Moffat on the 30 March 2010 edition of the BBC Radio 4 programme, Front Row, the title of this episode was supplied by his son, Joshua.

The title is a play on 'flesh and bone', a common idiom referring to a creature's anatomy, since most humans and animals are composed of flesh and a skeletal structure. The title also refers to the Weeping Angels' weakness of turning to stone whenever anyone looks at them, and possibly the fact that Amy thought her hand had turned to stone in the previous episode, The Time of Angels. This was a rumoured title for the episode Gridlock.

This is the third time the Doctor has kissed a female companion on the forehead before he temporarily left them; the first was Zoe Heriot in The War Games. He similarly kissed Jo Grant on the forehead in Colony in Space.

Amy's age and her second encounter with the Doctor are established as taking place in 2008 (when she encountered Prisoner Zero), while her third encounter with the Doctor when she left with him took place on the night of 25 June 2010 when Amy is twenty-one.
