    A couple of things that bugged me (Spoilers for "Cold Blood" onward)

    Something that bugs me... Amy and The Doctor are inside the TARDIS which is a seperate dimension from the outside so shouldn't she be protected from the effects of the crack and not have forgotten Rory?

    Also why was there extra time spent showing us the Doctor's face reflected in the console at the end of "Amy's Choice?"

    The Doctor stated that Rory was part of Amy's timeline prior to her becoming a time traveller, so his ceasing-to-ever-have-existed still affected her - she can only really resist the effects of the crack when it consumes events and people she experiences after becoming a time traveller.

    Maybe the TARDIS could have offered some kind of protection, which is why we see the Doctor insisting she try hard to remember him, and why it takes so long for her to completely forget him, but it may not be total protection.

    As for the console...well, there's a ton of speculation on that. Some think it's because it was highlighting that the Doctor possesses quite a dark side and it scares him, some think it's because he was lying and the Dream Lord is something very real and much worse (possibly the Valeyard) and so on.
    And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now... the clock is striking Twelve's.

                  Did you not notice when his reflection showed as the Dream Lord for a moment, thereby signifying that the evil Doctor part of him is always deep down inside? That was a significant little moment...

                  Well I don't think a separate dimension would protect anyone from having their memories and experiences erased. And yeah, as Sealurk explained, Rory was part of Amy's timeline (Remember all those flashes to them walking in the park pre-Doctor days and stuff?) and as such, his erasure from time would affect her because he happened with her before she became a time traveller. The clerics back in Flesh and Stone she met after she had become a time traveller. Fun times all around.

                    No I must admit I must have missed that..... I caught the Doctor's own reflection but then missed the earlier one...

                      Spoiler:
                      Just wondering, if Rory was erased from history so that he existed why is there a picture of him dressed up as a Roman when River is taken to Amy's time? If he was erased from history wouldn't it mean that picture was never taken?

                        Uh, I think you may want to add spoiler tags to that post Tanith. Not everybody gets Who at the same time.

                        That said, it's a good point. The Doctor did say

                        even when people fall out of time, they always leave something behind. Maybe this was one of those things.
