:::"When you turned the key in the lock" from what i recall is the direct reference to The Forgotten. --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 21:37, June 17, 2011 (UTC) | :::"When you turned the key in the lock" from what i recall is the direct reference to The Forgotten. --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 21:37, June 17, 2011 (UTC) | ||
::::::The actual, ''full'' line is: "I arrived seconds before you used [[the Moment]]. Before you turned the key and locked the war away forever." Fine, there's a bit about a key in the "dream sequence", but this line is completely understandable through just TEOT alone. The Doctor does describe the whole war as being [[time lock]]ed in TEOT. And we know he's the one who locked it. So he did "turn the key and lock it". This line reinforces TEOT. It doesn't positively address ''The Forgotten'' at all. Granted, it doesn't ''contradict'' ''The Forgotten'', but since the Doctor does ''explicitly'' say in ''The Forgotten'' that "it was all a dream", then we have to go, I think, to the narrative we know is not a dream: TEOT. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''19:23:06 Mon '''27 Jun 2011 </span> | ::::::The actual, ''full'' line is: "I arrived seconds before you used [[the Moment]].

::::But as we all know, the Tenth Doctor does, in fact, have his love of "pop culture" so the line of "Look, Toto, it was all a dream" could just be another pop culture reference. We also know of his use of pop culture to try and make himself laugh or feel better after something emotionally challenging or draining... That being said, "it was all a dream" is probably his way of shaking off that experience. [[User:TheTARDIScontroller|TheTARDIScontroller]] 20:15, June 27, 2011 (UTC) | |||
