Long game: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:39, 12 November 2016

A long game was a manipulation of events over an extended period of time.

Weyland admitted to playing a long game when it was revealed he had saved Hex from dying at Scutari (AUDIO: The Angel of Scutari) as he was meant to be part of the secret weapon against Fenric. (AUDIO: Gods and Monsters)

In the year 200,000, the Ninth Doctor claimed someone was playing a long game when he speculated that the human race had been set back 90 years, corresponding with the opening of Satellite Five 91 years before. (TV: The Long Game) The setback was caused by the Jagrafess which had been put in power by the Dalek Emperor so he could rebuild a Dalek race from humans. (TV: The Parting of the Ways)

-While not specifically referred to as long games, the [[Black Guardian]]'s attempt to kill the [[Fifth Doctor]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Mawdryn Undead]]'') and Fenric's game against the [[Seventh Doctor]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric]]'') could be seen as long games as they extended across several points in [[time]] and [[space]].
