10th and 5th possible appearance in the episode
In the the imbd entry that's about this episode, Tennant and Davidson are casted to appear in this episode, which could possibly mean that the 10th and 5th doctor make appearence in this episode. Yet it isn't considered as a cranted, could this be atleast atted to the myths? Vilinder 19:30, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
- Nope, neither. IMDB is on our blacklist, meaning we can't link to it. The reason for this is because people can insert false information to IMDB and therefore it can mean out sources and what we put on this wiki can be false. Mini-mitch\talk 19:33, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, that imbd entry is about the final episode of the series, not this one Lord Aro 12:25, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
Cybermen
The word in the infobox doesn't link to the Cybermen page.Zodisgod 21:42, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
- I know, and for good reason. We don't know what Cybermen are in the episode. They could be either Mondas Cybermen or Cybus Cybermen. Mini-mitch\talk 22:12, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
- They must be the Mondasian Cybermen, look at this picture: Cortion 16:42, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
No, they could be another variant, and stop adding spoiler pictures. I've deleted that image about three times today.----Skittles the hog--Talk 16:52, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
- Doesn't this wiki contain spoilers? Cortion 17:09, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
In special places. See: Tardis:Spoiler policy for more.----Skittles the hog--Talk 17:11, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
Enemies
No confirmation that Cybermen, Sontarans & Silurians are enemies. TemporalSpleen 16:30, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
Added a reference at the bottom of the list (next to "Eye Patch Lady") but it counts for all of them.----Skittles the hog--Talk 16:38, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
Yes well done you have added a source that states these will appear in the episode but in no way what so ever does it state that they will be enemies in the episode, therefore it needs removing unless stated otherwise -- Michael Downey 19:15, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
- Why? They've appeared as enemies in the past so it's only natural people will think they are enemies. If they appeared in any toher episode, people would assume they are the enemies. It's not changing till we have confirmation they are not enemies, until then we go with what we know. They've always been enemies so why not this time? Mini-mitch\talk 19:19, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
- Because we have no facts or evidence to say they are against the doctor at all and there are more sources on the internet that show they are on the doctor and rory's side than anything else. I think for argument sake they should just be left on the cast list until it IS ACTUALLY confirmed! -- Michael Downey 19:22, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
- There is no confirmation that they are on the Doctor's side, just speculation. Mini-mitch\talk 19:28, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
I agree with User:Michael Downey as the synopsis states he's collecting soldiers from long-founded debts. To me this implies his former enemies. I suggest we remove them from the enemies list and put them in story notes as reappearances.----Skittles the hog--Talk 20:05, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
I've just been looking at TV guides for a confirmation of the returning monsters being allies, although I'm sure I read it somewhere I had no luck in finding it. Since we have nothing to support either arguement, I am in favour of just leaving the monsters off the enemies section of the infobox and leaving them in the cast list until broadcast. --Revan\Talk 20:13, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
Moved them to continuity. I left the "eye patch lady" there as she's a confirmed baddie.----Skittles the hog--Talk 20:26, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
I agree with Skittles and Revan. 90.192.144.253 16:23, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
River and Amy Dying
The two rumours about River and Amy dying in this episode have already been proven false as they have been seen in filming for all the other episodes of this series. River appears in episode 8 and 13 and Amy appears in all except episode 12. -- Michael Downey 19:13, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
Removed the speculation that followed this comment.----Skittles the hog--Talk 15:56, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, he's right. Kenjiro (talk) 16:53, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
Spoilers removed
I am all in favour in having myths displayed on the page but I think the rumour regarding river being amys daughter should be removed as it is too much of a big spoiler for the page. Also the myth regarding rivers identity will be revealed should be removed as karen gillan and pete hoar have confirmed her identity will be revealed in interviews, therefore it's not really a myth it's fact. -- Michael Downey 19:20, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
- Any rumour can be regarded as "too big". Remember, they have filmed false scenes, meaning that it could be a red herring. As for River's identity, it's still a spoiler, a spoiler is a spoiler until the episode airs. Mini-mitch\talk 19:29, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
Possible paradox?
River states in this episode that the title doctor, meaining healer or wise man comes from the doctor, and he took that title as his name, after the fact he got his doctorate (See The Armagedon Factor), so does that mean this episode contains a predistination paradox? As The doctor took a title after something, which was named after him?
Continuity addition - The only water in the forest is the river
In The Doctors Wife, The TARDIS/Idris says to Rory "The only water in the forest is the river", which River also repeats to explain why the prayer leaf won't say Melody Pond, but river song (without actually saying that) and that she is their daughter.Clarkey3262129707 00:01, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, The TARDIS/Idris' statement was a reference to the Gamma Forests, where Lorna Bucket is from and also which River references heavily when she arrives at the end of the episode to talk to the Doctor. The people there define Doctor as "Mighty Warrior", which River reveals. She also reveals the prayer-leaf says River Song because the people of the Gamma Forests do not have a word for pond, because "the only water in the forest is the river". It appears River knows a lot about the forests due to how much she references them and her affinty to be commonly known as their translation of her birthname. TheLastDoctor 06:21, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
The link
could SOMEONE fix the main page link PLEASE Josho 03:27, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
The Doctor's Crib
Should a page be made for the Doctor's/Melody's/River's crib? I think it should be made, especially since the Gallireyian on the sides is probably his name, which cannot be translated by the TARDIS and adds to the mystery of his name. However I'm just guessing it is his name... TheLastDoctor 06:48, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
