Revision as of 05:35, 22 July 2010
At least, as of The Big Bang, humans in the 21st century will now be very suprsied if they see aliens because, simply put, they're not in recorded history anymore, appararantly. They're... gone. Damn cracks. Thanks, Moffat. The Big Bang, the explosion, changed the Whoniverse, Moffat confirms. I believe it was confirmed in DWM. Anyways, I found out in the spoiler thread of Gallifrey Base, here's the post (including text from the interview about it): http://gallifreybase.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2814470&postcount=3
So... what the hell do we do with the timeline article now? As of series 5, the timeline has been reworked... heavily. This will also rule out anyone from the RTD era returning because the show technically... well, all of that will have been erased with the invasions. It seems 21st century Earth is the only time period affected by the events of the finale... i'm assuming the future still pans out how it had with the invasions. Oh, whatever. But how will this affect SJA, a world where there are remembed invasions? Has SJA been afected, too? It seems that Torchwood has - apparantly, as of series 4 Torchwood, few seem to even be aware of aliens and invasions, fitting it with the events of the series 5 finale of Doctor Who.

If this actually pans out on screen, mark me down for "do NOT like" - I despise erasing/rewriting years of importannt history from a show. Besides that, it makes no sense at all with the dialog and information presented in the finale about how all this would work. As, as mentioned, how it will mesh with SJA - it's a kids show, so changing the rules on them is a more unwieldy proposition than on Torchwood. I was so thrilled with the finale before, and now I'm just disappointed. 207.171.242.66 00:11, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Oh, also what does this do to the entries for Adelaide Brook and the new species and heck, everyone's articles that existed in the past few years. I mean, Adelaide's death was fixed, and it was caused by her being there, and her being there was from the Daleks and. . . . 207.171.242.66 00:18, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Well, it basically means the timeline has been split so that it now takes on a similar, but alter timeline. No one is aware of alien and all of that stuff anymore... I like to think that despite all of the changes made toi the 21st century, the future stories remain the same. It's all very confusing. But if the 21st century has been changed so damn much, won't all the stories set in the future change, too? Or maybe time makes them happen the same. Oh, it's so damn confusing. But fact is, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead will still happen, despit ethe changes made to our time period. Bah, it's all so confusing.
I'm guessing the changes apply to SJA, too. No one should be well aware of aliens on there anymore, either. Delton Menace 00:43, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Even more confusing - both Martha and Rose joined the Doctor in the midst of big, public alien events that I assume are erased. So neither of them was ever a companion, right? This is just crazy. I cannot believe they want to erase years of series continuity. Oh, that sort of thing so ticks me off - I think you have to go by previous continuity when writing for an already established fandom. I love continuity. Continuity porn is tossed in for people like me. I can understand why they might want to erase aliens from the public concscience for story-telling reasons, but this was not the way to do that. Right now I don't even care about the Christmas special or next series. 207.171.242.66 00:48, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Oh, I know how you feel. I love continuity being expanded on, not split or erased... They could have dome something less confusing and that wouldn't annoy people - have some kind of huge global memory wipe, but not bloody erased the events themselves. They could have made it so that many people had their memories erased, and few would remember or semi-remember, like Donna during The End of Time. It would help explain no one remember Daleks in the episode 'Dalek' but explain that Adelaide was among those who remembered. But no, they had to do the erase thing to have no one know about aliens and what not.
Funny enough, if so much 21st century stuff is all gone, that means the meetings between the Doctor and Sarah will be gone. So how if he appear in SJA? Eh, this is all confusing. We'll see what happens.
- So he's erased 'Blink', one of his own stories? Hah, what comes around goes around. And I hate this decision he's made. I'm going to resort to live in an imaginary world where Moffat never did that.
- But there's another point raised here, in terms of mass article changing. I say we don't change them until a TV story at least confirms it. Or we don't do it all. The evil dude. 05:35, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
