Forum:Season 31 or Series 1, not Series 5 - Steven Moffat
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
According to Golden Money, there was an interview with Steven Moffat regarding what series 5 is called. Oh, you're not gonna love this! Either Season 31 or series 1 is what it will be called. Why? We don't know. He is it is not the fifth series of anything. Yet, he contradicted himself by even thinking of calling it series 1: it is certainly not series 1 of anything, it's the 31st season of Who and the fifth series of the revived series. But he seems to be against that.
In his choice, it's called either series 31 (season 27, 28, 29, and 30 are series 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the revived series) or series 1 of his era. Calling it series 1 will notably and most likely cause a huge controversy in the Who community, confusing many, messing with new fans (what will they think if there is two series 1 AND a season one of Doctor Who? They will think they're different versions of the same show and set in different continuities.), and making everyone angry.
In my opinion, the best thing to do is lable it: series 5/season 31. How easy and simple is that? And it makes people undersatdn what is going on: fifth of the revived series and 31st of the entire Who series.
His choice will have a dratmic affect on the wiki. What is your personal opinion of his (rather annoying) choice regarding what the series is called? Delton Menace 03:35, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
