:: With that out of the way, the matter at hand: to my mind, pretending we don't know where Harry came from is a terrible idea. It'd be no better than [[Ninth Doctor 3 (The Tomorrow Windows)]] — a clear-cut case of the Wiki failing at the sort of thing that it is supposed to be. We're all ''about'' documenting connections between different sources, that's the life and soul of any Wiki about a fictional oeuvre. Moreover, even without the ''AAiS&T'' connection, it seems highly dubious to me that the segment passes Rule 4! | :: With that out of the way, the matter at hand: to my mind, pretending we don't know where Harry came from is a terrible idea.

:: My personal view is that we should split the two segments — and do the same with every other ''Loose Ends''. They're clearly different stories every time, albeit with a shared theme. There's no narrative connections between them. They're different stories released under an umbrella title. | :: My personal view is that we should split the two segments — and do the same with every other ''Loose Ends''. They're clearly different stories every time, albeit with a shared theme. There's no narrative connections between them. They're different stories released under an umbrella title; the fact that one of the stories in this one takes place in a completely different fictional universe from the other simply underlines it, but IMO we really should have been splitting them all along. However, all that is a discussion which I still think should be happening at [[Talk:Loose Ends 5: Ian Memoriam (short story)]], or indeed [[Talk:Loose Ends]]. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:46, 19 July 2024 (UTC) | ||
