Okay so has anyone noticed any continuing themes among the episodes? So far I've got Christmas references and The Doctor claiming he's part of the song being played. Anyone seen anything else?

"A Town Called Mercy" could easily be included in the script. In fact for the last week I was convinced that it was. The Doctor could easily at the beginning include "A Town Called Mercy" in the list of things he thinks someone has stolen from his Christmas list. I've come to the conclusion that these name drops aren't intentional, because missing one out would make no sense.

:Imamadmad: "does anyone know any other titles they were considering for that episode and if they were dropped?" Great point! The original working title was "Mercy". It was changed to "The Gunslinger", back to "Mercy", and finally to "A Town Called Mercy". And of course "Mercy" does appear in the story. So, if the name-drop theory is true, it's easily possible that the title was changed too late, and there was no reasonable way to add the new title to the dialogue. (Not that that stopped them the next week, but that one may have been intentionally blatant…) --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 05:14, October 5, 2012 (UTC) | |||
Series 7 Arc Possibility - each episode uses teleportation. I have no idea where this might lead, but when one has a TARDIS then so much teleportation should have a reason.--[[User:ANone|ANone]] [[User talk:ANone|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:37, October 15, 2012 (UTC) | |||
:Now that you mention it, at least Asylum, Dinosaurs, and Angels explicitly used the phrase "short-range teleport[er/ation]" at least once, which is probably more times than they've used it in the previous 32 years… But if I remember right, in Three they used a wormhole bridging the dimensions, and I don't remember a teleporter at all in Mercy. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 03:30, October 16, 2012 (UTC) | |||
In [[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)]] the cyborg used short range teleportation to travel - he would appear in the distance, fade out, and reappear closer (or right behind someone). I am assuming that by the speed of travel, this was not simply a camouflage device used by the cyborg. I agree that in [[The Power of Three (TV story)]] the elevator may have contained a mechanism that used a wormhole to accomplish the task, but the result was a short range teleportation. Story Arc possibility? I still do not know.--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.129.37|76.28.129.37]]<sup>[[User talk:76.28.129.37#top|talk to me]]</sup> 17:19, October 20, 2012 (UTC) | |||
