::I am aware that Moffat said the thing he said. I'm disagreeing that the statement can be taken as a ''general'' indicator of his approach to these issues, as opposed to a ''particular'' instance. He usually approaches the subject as I described.

:::Oh by the way, I was meaning to ask you Najawin: When you said "Bah! Easter egg!" were you referring to this ticket prop being used, or the PRIME commercial? Or both? Because this isn't an easter egg. It's intentional set-dressing. | |||
:::During his run as showrunner, casual fans often mentioned Moffat's "plot holes" in spaces like Facebook and Twitter. Inconsistencies, things they didn't understand. That sort of thing. I don't think any mistakes or retcons were made, but whatever you say about Moffat's skills, one thing is clear. The people working for his set design team were incredibly talented. They didn't just throw this in for no reason. It was placed there. | |||
:::They could have gone with any number of things; they went with this ticket. For an era with a lot of complex moving parts... there is no way this wasn't seen as a "puzzle piece" they were holding onto. An easter egg usually denotes something small to spot, which is largely inconsequential. Something silly. This is continuity, which is the most consequential thing for our coverage of stories. | |||
:::Upon watching a documentary on The Shining, I've gained a great appreciation for directors fiddling with the set in order to tell a more cohesive narrative. This is the best example of that principle that I've seen for TV. [[User:LilPotato|LilPotato]] [[User talk:LilPotato|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 05:36, 17 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
