I recently just got into watching Doctor Who from series 1 and onward. The reason i decided to watch doctor who was that i started watching torchwood not knowing it was a spin off to doctor who. After watching a few episodes of torchwood, i read the general description of the series on netflix streaming, saying it was a doctor who spin off. So i wanted to know how it fit together. I stared to watch doctor who. Now that I finish the recent season of doctor who, i got a question about the new companion Amy. Why doesn't Amy remember any of the recent events on earth from the past season? Not sure if I miss them explaining it. Does that mean with Amy not remembering, that those past events didn't happen?
I have a question about Amy

- Start date
Don't try to understand it. Not yet. SM hasn't really explained why Amy cannot remember her parents, but then later she can just because the story requires her to somehow "remember" the entire universe except for the Doctor. SM might explain it better in Series 6. If not, chalk it up to bad planning.
It really was explained.
But are you sure you put all that in your post for a poster who has not seen the whole series?
I understand about the crack in the wall effecting her memory about her parents and whatnot. The thing i am wondering tho is everybody memories effected by the crack in the wall or just Amy? If so, does mean that the past earth events did not happen, as in the daleks invading and planets in orbit?
Is series five the most recent season right? If so, I must of miss something if they explain it, because i watched all of series five.
Series Five is the most recent series yes. We've kind of gone over this same ground in another thread which went no where. Basically the fan theory is that the time crack was responsible for erasing Amy's memories of events as it sucked up time. When the universe was reset by the Doctor, she was able to remember everything as it was (although it's not clear yet if this also includes the Dalek attack since it's not been mentioned).
I wouldn't worry about it. No one remembers the British landing spacecraft on Mars in 1970; or the Cybermen attacking the Earth in 1986; or the bloody Loch Ness Monster attacking a building on the banks of the River Thames.
With universe being reset, I can see everything going back to normal. The reason i was asking that was I am afraid they were trying to reboot the franchise with the changes.
^ You're not the only one who thought that, that wasn't the intention.
^ The Doctor was rebuilt from Amy's memories.
^ Yeah that wasn't explained but I didn't know people were waiting for it to be 
A wizard did it.
It's possible that, at least in some cases, the TARDIS is a catalyst in regeneration. The TARDIS seems to assist in the Doctor's regeneration from his first incarnation to his second, and during many other regenerations -- fifth to sixth, sixth to seventh, ninth to tenth, and tenth to eleventh -- the Doctor is at least inside the TARDIS.
A unique snag in the tenth-to-eleventh regeneration is that the tenth Doctor clearly did not want to die. None of the other Doctors was keen on dying, but the tenth Doctor was especially opposed to dying.
The TARDIS, possibly hooked in to the Doctor's "vibes" or something, was simply overwhelmed by the conflicted regeneration.
The regeneration energy coming from Ten damaged the console, which must have caused a chain reaction to the rest of the ship. The TARDIS needed to heal itself or die. That much was more or less explained through visuals or dialog. The reason, then, that it has never happened before is that no on-screen regeneration has resulted in or coincided with major damage to the TARDIS.
The only unanswered question then is why Ten's regeneration was so violent. I'm comfortable enough assuming it was due to Ten forcing the regeneration to hold back. There was built up "pressure", if you will.
