...Not me. After all, who said that it was the _real_ Miss Liberty (who, as we all know, is made of Copper, not stone) ? Maybe it was an Angel who took her form (or a colony of Angels, that could work too). After all, unless I missed it, we never saw the statue missing from her platform.
-- The Statue of Liberty being an Angel makes no sense. First of all,
everyone
knows that it was built. It's not like a random statue in the street
whose
history nobody knows. Second, we were reminded *in the same episode*
that New
York is the city which never sleeps--there's always going to be someone >>> looking
at it.
That bothered me too.

That raises its own can of worms: we assumed that the regeneration energy
she gave him was used up. If it wasn't used up, and all he had to do was wait until he got well enough that he could give it back, it wasn't even a sacrifice.

What's a fixed point in time? They didn't know she broke her wrist. They knew there was a book where she writes of breaking her wrist. No reason to believe she wrote the truth in the book (her name certainly isn't Malone).
Furthermore, when the Doctor thought that she got out without breaking her wrist, his reaction wasn't "oh no! Look what you did! You violated a
fixed point in time and that'll cause a disaster!"

And another thing: Amy tells the Doctor to go talk to young Amy. If he
does that, isn't that going to cause a paradox? We already know that Amy
was upset at waiting for the Doctor and not having him appear. If the
Doctor goes back and meets young Amy, that will change the past--
young Amy will no longer be disappointed by the Doctor not showing up.
And of course we don't know the effect this will have on other events.
Worse yet, Amy wants the Doctor to hint at future adventures that young
Amy hasn't had yet. What if Amy remembers one of those hints and derails
the adventure completely?
