Talk:The Big Bang (TV story)

For now and unmessyness

Until it confirmed and the episode airs it is hard to determine which aliens who are appearing will be a villain/enemy so I have placed all confirmed appearances of previous aliens in the story notes section until it is actually confirmed who will be the villains as it helps to stop people messing with the infobox. -- Michael Downey 11:54, May 22, 2010 (UTC).

Omega and Dark Tower/Death Zone

See Talk:The Pandorica Opens. Whatever is done with these rumors, let's make sure that the two pages are kept in sync. --Falcotron 07:26, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Monster Names

I've fixed up all the aliens confirmed to appear on the "enemy" bit on the infobox. If you have any other names of monsters please put them down along with a reference. ~ BillyWilliam3rd

Rory

Why did someone remove Rory from the cast? We know he's appearing. Weren't there even pictures of him in it? He may have died, but still: wibbly wobbly timey wimey. --Golden Monkey 20:35, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

I bet there is evidence that Rory is gonna appear (not that I took him off cast) but wherez the evidence? ~ BillyWilliam3rd

I'm not sure who removed him here. I added him, with a reference, at the same time I removed him from episode 12 (because all of the spoilery evidence given for him was from episode 13, not 12).

However, thinking about it some more, we don't actually have confirmation (at least in any of the spoilers I've seen) that Rory appears in episode 13. There are pictures confirming that Arthur Darvill appears, in Roman armor (one source specifically says Roman auxiliary armor), but that doesn't prove that he's Rory. Sure, it seems the most likely explanation, but think of Princess Astra and Romana II, Maxil and the 6th Doctor, Gwynneth and Gwen, Adeola and Martha, the Soothsayer and Amy Pond, and probably more that I've forgotten. In many cases, there's a connection of some kind between the characters (Romana deliberately patterning herself on Astra, Martha having a Patty-Duke-like identical cousin, Gwen having a not-genetic-relative-but-some-weird-rifty-thing, etc.), but in some there's not even that.

Still, it seems reasonable to at the very least least add Arthur Darvill to the Cast playing "TBA (possibly Rory Williams)", with the same reference that he had before, and then put some discussion of whether he's Rory or not in the Rumours section.

Alternatively, I'd list him as Rory, and then add a Rumour that he might be some character other than Rory. After all, it's always possible that even the 11th Doctor won't be there and Matt Smith will just happen to be playing some random character. How far do we have to go with our skepticism? --Falcotron 10:44, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
