Talk:Rakaya

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Zellin and Rakaya not Eternals?

Based on the episode script at http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/scripts/doctor-who-s12-ep7-can-you-hear-me.pdf Zellin considers himself and Rakaya to be immortals but not Eternals.

From the script:

We immortals need our games, Doctor. Eternity is long -- and we are cursed to see it all. The Eternals have their games, the Guardians have their power struggles. For me, this dimension is a beautiful board for a game. The toymaker would approve.

The Guide to the Dark Times apparently has a picture of them under 'Eternals' though. So which is right?

The article cites The Guide to the Dark Times (short story) as the source for Rakaya being an eternal. Actual stories trump scripts which are not what we consider "in universe". Shambala108 03:58, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
