My understanding is that Sergeant Benton was originally planned as the sergeant eventually played by Ray Float[[Special:Contributions/165.225.80.75|165.225.80.75]]<sup>[[User talk:165.225.80.75#top|talk to me]]</sup> 11:15, October 9, 2018 (UTC) | My understanding is that Sergeant Benton was originally planned as the sergeant eventually played by Ray Float[[Special:Contributions/165.225.80.75|165.225.80.75]]<sup>[[User talk:165.225.80.75#top|talk to me]]</sup> 11:15, October 9, 2018 (UTC) | ||
== A long line? == | |||
This page currently claims that "this story marks the end of a long series of linked storylines that began with The Leisure Hive", but does it? | |||
Leisure Hive leads into Meglos through the damaged K9, Meglos into Full Circle through the summons to Gallifrey, Full Circle into State of Decay through a direct cliffhanger, but does anything suggest Warriors' Gate takes place IMMEDIATELY after State of Decay? They're both part of the E-Space arc but who's to say how long they spent in E-Space? Then Warriors Gate does lead into Traken because they've clearly just escaped E-Space, Traken has another direct cliffhanger, as does Logopolis, but where does ANYTHING suggest Castrovalva goes right into Four to Doomsday? Then Four to Doomsday has a direct cliffhanger, The Visitation has Tegan discuss being possessed by the Mara, Black Orchid has Nyssa mention what they've "just done to London", Earthshock has the Doctor having clearly just started reading the titular book he was given in Black Orchid, Time Flight basically uses its first scene to wrap up Earthshock, but isn't there quite famously a juicy EU gap between Time Flight and Arc of Infinity if you want to do a Five story without being overstuffed with companions? And does Arc of Infinity lead into Snakedance, either? Snakedance to Mawdryn Undead is another case of the final scene of one story effectively being ported into the next, and then Terminus and Enlightenment are linked through The Black Gaurdian, which is linked to King's Demons through Tegan's lingering distrust of Turlough, which is linked to Five Doctors through the Eye of Orion. | |||
OK that was a very long post but... can somebody close all those potential gaps I mentioned or does this "trivia point" need to be removed? | |||
