Question[[edit source]]
Don't mean to throw a spanner in the works, but isn't the Dark Time (singular) the time before Rassilon when the Death Zone was used? (I think it's mentioned in The Five Doctors. The Dark Time on Gallifrey is the point from the beginning of Pythia's curse to the creation of the Eye of Harmony. I was going to create an article, but was wondering which takes precedence (or which article gets to have brackets denoting it away from the other). --Tangerineduel 13:26, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, currently Dark Time is a redirect, so you could edit that and put a notice on the two pages telling readers not to confuse one with the other. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- it is possible but very unlikely, that these are before light could travel in straight lines as elctrons were not bound to atoms, esentually meaning that as there was no light, it was "dark"
- then again that only lasted until 300,000 years after the big bang so becuse of canon, it seems unlikely.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by 92.18.165.198 (talk).
The Five Doctors[[edit source]]
In the scene where the Black Scrolls are discovered, doesn't Borusa mention the Dark Times there? In the TV story I mean. He says "this is forbidden knowledge from the Dark Times" doesn't he? Or does he say "Dark Tower"? Oh god, this is like that Yanny/Laurel thing, isn't it? NightmareofEden ☎ 01:57, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
The novelisation was released the day after the television story and written by the same writer. Im the book, that very quote you mention says "Dark Times". I highly doubt the two would differ. Danochy ☎ 05:59, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
so then this page should be changed to make clear that this is also mentioned in the TV version of 5Docs and NOT just the novelisation. NightmareofEden ☎ 09:44, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
- Very true! Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 11:12, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
Could somebody actually check? Online transcripts give "Dark Tower", and "I don't think the novelisation would differ from the TV story" is not sufficient grounds for citing the TV story.
