Talk:Series 7 (Doctor Who 2005)
Final warning to all Users about Doctor Who TV
This is a one and only warning regarding Doctor Who TV.
It cannot be used as a source. The only Doctor Who related sites that can be used are Gallifrey Base (accessible via the news feed on the front page) and the official website.
All casting, filming, rumours must come from media (newspapers etc) and news sites (digital spy) - where everything has a base source. Doctor Who TV uses sources that are 'fans', with nothing to back them up. If they do have a source, please link via the source and not Doctor Who TV. MM/Want to talk? 22:19, August 5, 2012 (UTC)
Well someone keeps uploading it as a source and creating rumors. Whoever is doing this needs a ip ban... I'm starting to lose my calm... -114.76.1.117
Clara Oswin
Is the Mirror really a suitable source? Tabloids print wrong info all the time. The Sun's TV Magazine included the same name in an article, but in light of Asylum of the Daleks, in which Jenna-Louise plays somebody called Oswin Oswald, it seems that Clara Oswin was incorrect. Either they're different characters, or she's not called Clara at all. Digifiend Talk PR/SS KR MH Toku JD Garo TH CG UM Logos CLG DW 19:40,9/1/2012
Grammatic tenses
Just wondered, since the series has now started airing, should the relevant parts of the article be converted to past tense, e.g. "Series 7 began airing on the 1st of September 2012" rather than "Series 7 will begin airing..."; "Toby Whithouse wrote episode 3" rather than "Whithouse will write..."? Or do we wait for the last episode to air before converting the article? I'd be happy to do the editing; just wanted to check before rushing in there. The Colclough ☎ 18:48, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
Arcs / Recurring Themes
So, given the season-arc nature of the series, and the prevalent themes that crop up over the course of a season, I wonder if perhaps the revived series' season pages should describe the relevant arc and/or theme(s) present in the series. The ones that come to mind I've listed below:
- Series 1: "Bad Wolf"
- Series 2: Torchwood
- Series 3: Vote Harold Saxon
- Series 4: DoctorDonna, Disappearing Bees, There's Something On Your Back
- 2009 Specials: He Will Knock Four Times
- Series 5: Cracks in Time
- Series 6: Silence Will Fall, Death of the Doctor
- Series 7: Christmas, Flickering Lights
Obviously, not all of these necessarily warrant mention, but some are deliberate, relevant season arcs (Bad Wolf, Vote Harold Saxon, DoctorDonna) that have more to do with the season as a whole than they do individual episodes.
As it is, almost all of the season pages are unique (read: inconsistent) and could use some reorganization, so I thought it might be good to bring up the possibility of a Themes section as we approach a three-month hiatus and can afford to do some spring cleaning. Thoughts? d ●•· 16:40, September 24, 2012 (UTC)
"Introduction of Clara Oswin" needs to be reworded
As I understand the policies here, we don't announce character names, etc until the episode airs. The statement "Introduction of Clara Oswin" next to the Christmas special therefore is improper, plus may be outdated since presumably it was added before Asylum of the Daleks raised a question mark as to whether that might be the true introduction to the character (putting aside controversy regarding the name, remembering that the BBC has yet to officially confirm the character's name going forward from the Christmas Special). It should be removed and perhaps replaced with "Jenna-Louise Coleman joins as a series regular." With "Introduction of "Jenna-Louise Coleman" added to Asylum's entry - note I didn't say mention the character's name as we do not know yet whether she'll play a new character or Oswin Oswald. 70.72.211.35talk to me 17:40, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
