References to upcoming novels
The article says "The Doctor sees Mr Saldaamir and Daleks in a vision of his future."
If that paragraph is clear enough as a reference to a Dalek to mention it, surely the rest of the references on the page, to three years' worth of upcoming EDA novels, are also worth mentioning?
But I'm not sure exactly how it should be written up, given that if you mention the Dalek and the upcoming-novel references, you have to say somewhere that (because of rights issues) by 2004 the Dalek turned out not to be a reference to Sometime Never... after all. If the whole thing were moved to Continuity (or maybe Notes), that might fit, but in the Character/The Doctor section, it doesn't seem to. --50.0.128.86talk to me 01:51, June 15, 2017 (UTC)
- It should probably mostly go in "continuity" with a separate note (footnote?) on the Dalek/Saldaamir. I remember being a bit perplexed as to what all of the visions represented and being disappointed when I couldn't find too much of an explanation. Off the top of my head, I recall violins from The Year of Intelligent Tigers, wasps from Eater of Wasps, Albert from Grimm Reality, and possibly Scarlette from The Adventuress of Henrietta Street. Would you care to correct me/expand on the list? CoT ? 02:50, June 15, 2017 (UTC)
