| == Unknown == | | == Rename == |
| | I agree with [[User:Tybort|Tybort]]'s suggestion in the rename template that the story dab on this page should be changed to (The Impossible Astronaut) – the [[Virgin New Adventures]] have already given us many examples of characters who technically appeared first in the DWM prequels but are nonetheless disambiguated by the novel title; [[Luigi (Blood Harvest)]] is one example I found with a few seconds of searching. The same precedent should apply here, and to the extent that the current text of the rules doesn't match this longstanding practice, the rules [[Forum:Temporary forums/T:BOUND Reform|should be updated]]. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 15:01, 24 August 2023 (UTC) |

| Not much to say really. We should implement it as "unknown" because the credit is usually a rank or office. I expect this character will be named in part two, but I'll be useful for future reference.----[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 20:16, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

| | | :: This has been open for a long while, and the VNA precedent is inarguable, now it's been laid out. Performing rename. To be clear, the ruling here is that these sorts of short-form prequels, unless they constitute a narrative that could stand on its own, should be considered part of their parent stories when it comes to dabbing elements in them.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 03:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC) |
| == Infobox name ==
| | ::: I agree with the ruling ''per se'', but for the record "unless they constitute a narrative that could stand on its own" doesn't feel like the right standard. Most of these things ''could'' easily be covered as standalone if the longer thing didn't exist. It's all about presentation. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 12:36, 30 March 2024 (UTC) |

| It should be "Little girl". Across this wiki, more page have their title (i.e policeman, vicar, little girl, woman) as their name in the infobox. The name in the infobox should be the page name (bar anything in brackets). [[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]]\[[User talk:Mini-mitch|talk]] 20:16, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

| These are just a small amount of the page where an unnamed character has had their title as the infobox page name. It make sense to keep it that way. That is there name given in the DWU, so that's the name we give them. Not putting their given name in the infobox is like create the page called "Unknown Little Girl" [[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]]\[[User talk:Mini-mitch|talk]] 20:26, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

| No, its not there name in Dr Who, just in the credits. Your only real argument is: this is what's going on at the moment. So, yes, it would take a while to implement. However, it will be good once it's finished.----[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 20:29, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

| == Regarding killing the Doctor == | |
| | |
| After seeing next weeks episode (which by the way I have) you may be under the same impression as me that the little girl did not actually kill the Doctor - surley something like tht should not be put in till we actually have confirmation it was her who did it![[Special:Contributions/91.108.5.196|91.108.5.196]] 18:28, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| We place as much information as we know from the stories that have been broadcast, if something changes in the next episode then we will just have to go back and sort things out. --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 18:31, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| My point is, even from the story, we dont know it was the little girl - the fact is we didnt see the face of the shooter... [[Special:Contributions/91.108.5.196|91.108.5.196]] 18:34, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

| We don't have any info to the contrary.----[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 19:30, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Then remove the information, otherwise it is speculation, and classified as incorrect until canonical confirmation.

| == Split page? ==
| |
| | |
| I know we have so little info but from what it looks like the little girl and the spaceman (or impossible astronaut) are two different enitiy's and should be seperated on this wiki as stated before there is no proof that it was the little girl that killed the doctor but the spaceman did! Lastly all we know so far is that she's wearing a spacesuit like the the one that the person (*coughcough*river*coughcough*) that killed the doctor did not that she is or wearing the one!
| |
| | |
| : I also suggest we keep this page solely for the girl, but create another page for the actual suit, as it is a piece of technology, not the same entity as the girl. [[User:D0ct0r11|D0ct0r11]] 16:13, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Since the girl was in the suit for a time then we should have all that info on the page, but obviously now we know she escaped the suit and it can move on its own then we shouldn't have the 2011 info there. --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 16:23, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

| == Beach Scene ==
| |
| | |
| Hi, I'm not really a contributer so feel free to ignore everything I say but I was wondering if you should add an image or a mention that when the 1,103 Doctor is on the beach and tells the Astronaut his know's who they are, their flesh seems to be rotted during the split second it lifts up the helmet Visor. Just incase you didn't notice and wanted to mention it in the article. [[Special:Contributions/92.14.123.98|92.14.123.98]] 18:02, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

| ==Proposed revision==
| |
| | |
| This '''girl''' contacted [[Richard Nixon]] for help, as she was scared of the "[[the Silence|Monsters]]" and believed that "the spaceman" was trying to eat her. She told Nixon the words "Jefferson Adams Hamilton", leading Nixon to believe she was a boy, but the [[Eleventh Doctor]] helped them to discover that these were the names of street names, the only three in the same place together in Florida, at that time the only place that spacemen could be found.
| |
| | |
| She was later found by [[The Doctor]], but was shot at by [[Amy Pond]], who recognised the space suit, and believed that the girl had/would at some point kill the doctor.
| |
| ([[DW]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut]]'')
| |
| | |
| Three months later she again encountered Amy, who had only shot a hole in the suit's visor, in what appeared to be her bedroom at the [[Graystark Hall Children's Home]]. After Amy was kidnapped by the Silence, she was able to free herself from the suit, which had been fitted with Alien technology to act as a life support.
| |
| | |
| Six months later, her deteriorating health caused her to [[Regeneration|regenerate]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Day of the Moon]]'')
| |
| | |
| == Shooting ==
| |
| | |
| Why is Amy shooting the girl in the suit listed as being in the Day of the Moon and not Impossible Astronaut?

| == Near-human ==
| |
| | |
| Until we know for sure, can the page at least be edited to display the little girl's species as [[Near-human]]? [[User:Witoki|Witoki]] 15:39, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| I've cleared up the Earth and near-human issues. If there are any more, please make them clear here. Thanks.----[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 16:25, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

| == Near-Time Lord? ==
| |
| | |
| Perhaps a bit out there... but surely she should be Near-Time Lady? Like the Doctor has said, the Time Lords came first, and regeneration is nothing to do with Humans, but Time Lords. So wouldn't it actually be more accurate to say she is "Near Time Lady"? --[[User:The Thirteenth Doctor|The Thirteenth Doctor]] 16:08, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| [[Near-Human]] is just a term that refers to the many races that look identical to Humans, which the little girl clearly is. Gallifreyans are mentioned on the near-human page as probably being the first near-humans. It is possible that it would make more sense to use the term [[near-timelord]] or [[near-gallifreyan]] universally on this wiki, as Timelords did come first, but for now, the term that is used here is near-human.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 17:27, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| It is not a case of "what came first", but what is recognisable. Near-human is a term that can apply to races like the [[Morestran]]s or [[Tigellan]]s. It does indeed apply to this character.----[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 17:31, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Since this wiki is written from an in-universe perspective, it might make more sense to refer to Morestrans, Tegellans, and Humans, as near-timelord, since the Time Lords came first, and had a much greater impact on the universe than the Humans did. The Time Lords are pretty recognizable, since the Doctor has been in almost every episode.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 17:35, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Not really. A think you'd recognise a human more, you know, because that's what you are. Additionally, Morestrans and T<u>i</u>gellans show no sign of Time Lord biology. They are more human-like than Time Lord-like by a long shot.----[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 17:40, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Why aren't we just putting [[humanoid]] down, its exactly what we know really. --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 17:50, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Humanoid fair enough, if a bit vague.----[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 17:58, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Either that or have it blank, that better shows what we really know about her. --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 18:04, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| She is quite clearly near-human. Is a Time Lord not near-human? I would consider them so. Supposing you agree, it makes her near-human any way you look at it. I reinstated the near-human line as it screws with the formatting, but please do continue to discuss.----[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 18:18, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| When I was talking about changing it to near-timelord, I was mainly thinking about the Doctor's comments in ''The Beast Below'' when he told Amy that she looked Time Lord, because they came first. Either way, the way the term is used now, the little girl is definetly a human or a near-human.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 20:20, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

| == She is River Song/Melody ==
| |
| | |
| I think that this page should be merged with the page [[River Song]] as we now know that she is River. The fact that they are the same person explains why River was imprisoned for killing 'a very great man', which she did as a little girl in the spacesuit, killing [[The Doctor]] . (Grey Beret)
| |
| | |
| We don't know that for a fact. Granted thats what makes sense considering the pictures and she regenerates (into river songs appearance most likely) but we still don't know this for sure. And personally i think it should remain seperate pages with simply a section explaining that she may be Melody/River and stay that way until it's confirmed in the show, (hopefully this season) that she is for a fact melody/river. (Nathan)
| |
| | |
| If we "know" that she is River, why do the little girl and River have different accents?'''([[User:Truthbealiar|Truthbealiar]] 03:33, June 5, 2011 (UTC))'''
| |
| | |
| :Accents can change during regeneration, can they not? [[Special:Contributions/72.200.145.175|72.200.145.175]] 03:53, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| :: True, because look at the [[Seventh Doctor|Seventh]] and [[Tenth Doctor]]s, they both had differences in accents... So technically, yes... [[User:TheTARDIScontroller|TheTARDIScontroller]] 04:57, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Surely the little girl is River, and here is my reasons as to why I believe this:
| |
| *1. In Day of the Moon we see the a picture of the girl as a baby with Amy, indicating that she is Amy's daughter.
| |
| *2. In Day of the Moon, she regenerates, and in A Good Man, we are told that Amy's daughter has developed Time-Lord DNA.
| |
| *3 There are no other Time-Lords. Even assuming Jenny (The Doctors Daughter) could regenerate, all evidence suggests that regeneration only results in another adult body, and therefore could not be the child.
| |
| *4 The flashback to the suit in Day of The Moon.
| |
| *5. And this is my main point . . . It is a program aimed at Children!!! I realise that, like myself, many other contributors watch other sci fi shows that do over complicate things (lost, battlestar galactica), but please realise that this is not one of them. Doctor Who is designed and written so that children can understand what is happening, so why do (I presume?) adults keep arguing back and forth??.[[User:Geek Mythology|Geek Mythology]] 09:27, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| She's most definitely River. As Geek Mythology has pointed out, the Little Girl was shown at the beginning of the episode in the recap, implying that she's important to the plot. It makes much more sense for the girl to be River/Melody than not. (Then this nice piece of trivia can be added: "Sydney Wade played the daughter of Alex Kingston's character in TV drama ''Marchlands''.") [[User:D0ct0r11|D0ct0r11]] 14:43, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::All that being said, we '''do not know for certain''' that the little girl is River. I'd agree it's where the information is trending, but we need to see it '''on screen''' before we include such statements in our articles. A counter argument is that if she's really River, why does (adult) River act so clueless as to the identity of the girl in the astronaut suit? Until we can answer that question, we don't really '''know''' jack. This article will remain under its current title, separate from the River article, until the mystery is '''completely explained on screen'''. As Moffat said in the attendant ''Confidential'', the "answer" we saw in AGMGTW was as complicated as the question. To him, any answer that's ''just'' an answer is boring. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''14:56:19 Sun '''05 Jun 2011 </span>
| |
| | |
| :::I agree that the answer is as complicated as the question, but it is an answer nonetheless. We have been clearly shown that the girl is River. There are many mysteries still surrounding this, but we've been given that part at least. (River's failure to own up to being the girl and acknowledge Amy and Rory as her parents during previous meetings don't seem particularly mysterious, given her spoilers policy.)
| |
| :::As D0ct0r11 points out, this show isn't as convoluted as Lost or BSG, but even if it were, basic reveals like this on either of those shows didn't get clawed back. To suggest we don't yet have enough information takes skepticism to an unworkable level; we need to trust the clear narrative devices of the show if we are to make a sensible encyclopedia.--[[User:BBCXI|BBCXI]] 15:30, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| I agree that we don't know all the information, and I am guessing that the next six episodes will fill in the gaps, explain more about the space suit etc, but A Good Man '''did''' show us proof '''onscreen'''. When I talked of the flashback, I was referring not a recap at the start of the episode, but at the Doctor himself thinking back to the previous events of 1969 when finding out about Melody's Time Lord DNA.
| |
| | |
| As much as some information is still being with held, I don't see Moffat deliberately decieving. There will be more than ''just'' an answer, but this is still the first part.[[User:Geek Mythology|Geek Mythology]] 16:53, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
