Howling:Moffat confirms.. the 21st century invasions never happened.
At least, as of The Big Bang, humans in the 21st century will now be very suprsied if they see aliens because, simply put, they're not in recorded history anymore, appararantly. They're... gone. Damn cracks. Thanks, Moffat. The Big Bang, the explosion, changed the Whoniverse, Moffat confirms. I believe it was confirmed in DWM. Anyways, I found out in the spoiler thread of Gallifrey Base, here's the post (including text from the interview about it): http://gallifreybase.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2814470&postcount=3
So... what the hell do we do with the timeline article now? As of series 5, the timeline has been reworked... heavily. This will also rule out anyone from the RTD era returning because the show technically... well, all of that will have been erased with the invasions. It seems 21st century Earth is the only time period affected by the events of the finale... i'm assuming the future still pans out how it had with the invasions. Oh, whatever. But how will this affect SJA, a world where there are remembed invasions? Has SJA been afected, too? It seems that Torchwood has - apparantly, as of series 4 Torchwood, few seem to even be aware of aliens and invasions, fitting it with the events of the series 5 finale of Doctor Who.

If this actually pans out on screen, mark me down for "do NOT like" - I despise erasing/rewriting years of importannt history from a show. Besides that, it makes no sense at all with the dialog and information presented in the finale about how all this would work. As, as mentioned, how it will mesh with SJA - it's a kids show, so changing the rules on them is a more unwieldy proposition than on Torchwood. I was so thrilled with the finale before, and now I'm just disappointed. 207.171.242.66 00:11, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Oh, also what does this do to the entries for Adelaide Brook and the new species and heck, everyone's articles that existed in the past few years. I mean, Adelaide's death was fixed, and it was caused by her being there, and her being there was from the Daleks and. . . . 207.171.242.66 00:18, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
