True. There's obviously no authorial intent for them to be the same. You could have a sentence that reads something like: "Torchwood Three encountered a species that also inspired fairy mythology...", with a suitable counterpart on the fairy page.--{{User:Skittles the hog/sig}} 18:49, December 17, 2015 (UTC) | |||
