The Forgotten (comic story): Difference between revisions

* The Doctor indicates that "no one alive" knows about all nine of his past incarnations. The implication in this statement is that Martha Jones is either the first companion to become aware of all 10 incarnations, or that the Doctor believes that anyone else (companion or Time Lord) who is aware of it is now dead ([[The Brigadier]] has met the first eight Doctors, but he never encountered the Ninth and has to date only met the Tenth in another comic).

*Among the artifacts of the Doctor's past visible: the [[Seal of Rassilon]]; a [[Voord]] helmet; and items association with each incarnation: a walking stick (First); [[recorder]] (Second); [[Bessie]]'s car keys (Third); a bag of [[jelly baby|jelly babies]] (Fourth); a [[cricket]] ball (Fifth); a cat brooch (Sixth); an umbrella (Seventh); a cravat (Eighth); and the [[psychic paper]] (Ninth).

* The First Doctor was given his walking stick by [[Kublai Khan]] in the TV story [[Marco Polo]]. However the Tenth Doctor at first claims he obtained it in an unchronicled adventure involving [[Oscar Wilde]] and "midget assassins," though he later admits it was a ruse to trick "Martha."

* The First Doctor mentions that the Egyptian gods [[Sutekh]] and [[Horus]] were aliens. This foreshadowing of ''[[Pyramids of Mars]]'' may be a continuity error, unless the Fourth Doctor later forgot their origins.

* Ian states that he hopes the Doctor gets turned into a mummy "so the bandages cover his mouth". This also foreshadows ''[[Pyramids of Mars]]'' in which exactly this happens.

* The Tenth Doctor recalls Susan's departure in ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' and the return of Ian and Barbara to more-or-less their original time in ''[[The Chase]]''. The Doctor says he doesn't reckon that Susan is still alive, but adds that, though he "can't prove it", he believes all the Time Lords are gone. This follows up from his earlier discussion of the Time War with Martha in ''[[Gridlock]]'' and the return and death of [[The Master]] in ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'' and ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]''.

* The Tenth Doctor has experienced heart stoppage on prior occasions, beginning in ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]''.

* During the [[Eighth Doctor]] flashback, the Doctor claims he created the fiction of being half-human using a [[chameleon arch]] in order to deceive an enemy; this refers to the longstanding and controversial statement made in the [[Doctor Who (1996)|1996 TV movie]] about the Doctor being half human.

* During the [[Eighth Doctor]] flashback, the Doctor is held prisoner on an unknown planet at some point during the [[Last Great Time War]], he manages to escape and steal [[The Great Key]]. The Doctor intends to use this key to create a [[De-mat Gun]] that will seal the [[Medusa Cascade]] and somehow end the war.
