::::::::Maybe the Classic fans didn't complain because we've seen ''Ghostlight'', and thus have no right to refer to anything as comparatively simple as ''The Big Bang'' as "unintelligble nonsense." I liked ''The Pandorica Opens''/''The Big Bang'', but I think the entire story could have worked just as well and mostly unchanged without erasing RTD episodes.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] [[User talk:Icecreamdif|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 12:21, September 27, 2012 (UTC) | ::::::::Maybe the Classic fans didn't complain because we've seen ''Ghostlight'', and thus have no right to refer to anything as comparatively simple as ''The Big Bang'' as "unintelligble nonsense."

:::::::::Good point about Ghost Light. Even Marc Platt doesn't understand what happened in that story, and he wrote it. :) Anyway, I think erasing random bits of history is part of what made series 5 so interesting—but you're right that it would have been just as good, or maybe better, if all we had is what we saw on screen: random bits of history were erased, including The Stolen Earth. The added behind-the-scenes information that those random bits also included every other public alien invasion that wasn't effectively covered up adds nothing to the story; it's just needless setup for future disappointment. | |||
:::::::::On the other hand, it _was_ behind-the-scenes; the casual fans probably don't know and don't care about it, and in the long run, the only people who remember will be the kind of people who remember JNT's proclamations (and the arguments within fandom that they sparked) today. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 17:29, September 27, 2012 (UTC) | |||
