I don't agree : when the Doctor refers to Grandfather's, I've got the feeling he's talking about the huge hungry star, not the mummy. Akhaten woke up because the Mummy had woken up too.

:But that doesn't fit with what the Doctor said. He did call Akhaten the "Old God" after he discovered his "semantics mix up", meaning that Akhaten is the Old God. However, he said that Grandfather and the Old God were separate entities, and Grandfather woke up because of the Old God (pointing to the mummy when referring to Grandfather as well). Grandfather woke up because, well, Akhaten waking up is a pretty big deal, and that served as its "alarm clock". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:33, April 11, 2013 (UTC) | :But that doesn't fit with what the Doctor said.

::I'm sorry, but that goes against the entire point of the episode. Before he realised his semantics 'boo boo', he had no knowledge of the ''real'' Old God/Grandfather, aka Akhaten. He thinks at first that ''the Mummy'' is "the Old God, sometimes Grandfather." Therefore, he couldn't possibly have thought that Akhaten was the Old God, assuming your reading of the quote. Also consider the build-up of the episode: we think that the Old God is the Mummy, but then we're told that the Mummy is only the Old God's "alarm clock," and he wakes Akhaten up. Then we're treated to the bigger enemy, the real deal. Why exactly would they forget about Grandfather and just go to the alarm clock? The only possible explanation of all this, and exactly what the script implies, is that Akhaten is the Old God/Grandfather and ''not'' the Mummy, although "Old God" and "Grandfather" should still go as aliases in the infobox, since it ''is'' called that for the majority of the episode.<br>--[[user:SmallerOnTheOutside|SOTO]] [[User talk:SmallerOnTheOutside|☎]] 11:41, April 11, 2013 (UTC) | |||
