Revision as of 23:33, 19 May 2013
Could the Archie in The Name of the Doctor be connected to the same Archie Jack Harkness mentions as the head of Torchwood Two in TV: Everything Changes? An ancestor, perhaps, or the Archie? Jack was around during Archie's life in the Victorian-Era Torchwood Three, though at the tail end of the 19th century, a bit later than the year shown in this episode. We have a wise writer who has shoehorned in a fight with a guy named Archie in Glasgow against Strax, two speed bumps in the dialogue that caught my attention. Possible hints to Torchwood... or just a continuity nod...? After all, this man named "Archie" could be an alias, a namesake just like all the others floating around. --Thunderush ☎ 01:26, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
