Talk:Dimensions in Time (TV story): Difference between revisions

[[Susan Foreman|Susan]] does not recognise the [[Sixth Doctor]] as [[the Doctor]] nor does [[Ace]] recognise the [[Sixth Doctor]] as hers, yet [[Victoria Waterfield |Victoria]] recognises the [[Third Doctor]], [[Leela]] recognises the [[Seventh Doctor]] and the [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier]] recognises the Sixth Doctor as an 'old friend' although [[Battlefield|this doesn't happen after the Seventh regeneration and ''Dragonfire'']]. However, the Doctor recognises some their own future companions: the [[Sixth Doctor]] remembers Ace although he hasn't met her and the [[Third Doctor]] recognises [[Melanie Bush|Mel]] never having met her either. Similarly, [[Nyssa]] and [[Perpugilliam Brown |Peri]] show no surprise at meeting each other, even though they never met on the original series.  

:The illusion theory hits a snag, however, during scenes in which the Doctor is seen with more than one companion; could Ace's consciousness be split between two different people? Similarly, at least one companion, Romana II, is seen on her own and she doesn't actually encounter a Doctor. ''Romana not encountering a Doctor makes sense considering her Doctor, the Fourth, isn't directly involved in events; this is contradicted somewhat by Leela encountering a Doctor, however, these three errors could be explained by the Rani by changing the Time Line, or Romana may not have been taken out of time and placed in the loop, if the novels are taken into account, she and Leela should both be on Galifrey, which explains how Leela knew which companion she was in, where the unspecified K-9 model are from''
