Talk:Iris Wildthyme

The metafictional thing

She's not always metaficitonal. Certainly she's not in either Excelis Dawns or The Wormery, the two adventures she has in a "proper" Doctor Who adventure. I'll grant she kind of is within her own stories, but not even all of them. She's not aware of her metafictional nature in The Panda Invasion, for instance. We might think that the jokes are metafictional, asthe audience, because the script recalls moments from DW's past, but she herself never comments upon her own nature like that. It's played completely straight, allowing the listener to decide. There's a difference between in-jokes and metafiction. I think the article needs to cite specific instances, and to mention the fact that there are a number of appearances which do not portray her as actively aware of the similarities between her adventures and those of the Doctor.

Out Of Order?

She meets The Doctor out of order. Just like River Song.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.118.214.191 (talk).

Companion Sexuality

It seems odd to me that Iris's companions have random notes of their sexuality, which is something that plays very little in importance to the story. such as

Traffic warden, (a confirmed lesbian)

and

Tom (who was gay)

It seems incredibly odd and out of place for this wiki, considering there is a whole page of other information available for Jenny and Tom. Surely that information of their adventures is more important than something so trivial? specially when accounting for the fact this isnt done for Oliver Harper on the First Doctor's page. Perhaps removing of these rather out of place notes and fleshing out the section in general is in order?
