:You're mostly right when you say 'because they'd done that before', but you rather than ''just'' in Doctor Who it's something about the wider media that we're exposed to. | :You're mostly right when you say 'because they'd done that before', but you rather than ''just'' in Doctor Who it's something about the wider media that we're exposed to. | ||
:We ''expect'' things like this to happen, in modern drama and science fiction drama we're used to story arcs and hidden revelations. Series like Lost, Battlestar Galactica (the reboot), Babylon 5, Spooks they're all series' that have long story arcs, with individual stories that make up the larger whole and that have had character revelations or other sorts of things that are revealed throughout the course of the series. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 06:19, May 6, 2010 (UTC) | :We ''expect'' things like this to happen, in modern drama and science fiction drama we're used to story arcs and hidden revelations.

::Yeah, I've read those forums; that's where I see most of these fan theories. And I see people calling them stupid. What I don't see is anyone asking this question seriously, or getting a serious answer. | |||
::And the reason I'm trying to puzzle it out is, as I said, I suspect Moffat has tried to puzzle it out, and has probably succeeded better than me, and that might even influence his writing.... | |||
::Anyway, that's a great point about other SF series. Some of them have had the big reveal be "X and Y are the same person" or "X is an alternate version of Y from another timeline" or whatever. Thanks. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 06:29, May 6, 2010 (UTC) | |||
