Howling:Cross Dimensional niggle (Curse of Black Spot): Difference between revisions

Jack surely <b>would</b> have been given a larger role but that doesn't mean Avery and Toby weren't added to the script because he couldn't appear. If Jack had been there, it's extremely likely that use would have been made of him being "killed" and then taking the opposition by surprise, afterwards (as in <i>Journey's End</i>). No other character could do that. Avery and Toby wouldn't and couldn't simply have been "slotted in" to do everything Jack would have done. They could, though, have been written in, <b>in a reduced capacity</b>, to make up the numbers of those the Doctor recruited to his cause.  

On the interdimensional question: Given the established situation that "parallel worlds are closed off", either that has changed and we've not been told so, yet, or what the Doctor meant by "an alternate dimension" isn't the same as an alternate universe. The latter seems more likely, especially as one of the first things established in the show (on 23rd November 1963) is that the interior of the TARDIS is in a different dimension from the exterior. Until/unless it's stated otherwise, I'll assume that Avery's (new) ship was in a different dimension <b>of the same universe</b> and can move between dimensions but not universes. --[[Special:Contributions/89.240.245.226|89.240.245.226]] 09:25, August 14, 2011 (UTC)
