This is another example of "definition extension" that stretches the meaning of a term until it becomes useless. There has been argument over the definition of "Companion" for decades. The meaning of "Alias" on the "The Doctor's aliases" pages and the "also known as" boxes make those a mess. Perhaps this should be discussed in one of the community sections, but this looks a good place to point it out. As someone who favors precise writing, if only as a kindness to the reader, I feel more care should be taken.[[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] 13:46, September 11, 2011 (UTC) | This is another example of "definition extension" that stretches the meaning of a term until it becomes useless.

* Although I agree this episode was not Doctor-lite it should be noted that a number of reviews do indeed refer to it as such. I'm not exactly sure where the figuring is though; in the past, Doctor-lite episodes have been generally episodes shot at the same time as others but there's no indication that was the case here. In a similar vein there was no Doctor-lite episode in Series 5 either (there was a companion-lite episode in The Lodger). The closest thing we've had to a Doctor-lite episode in the Matt Smith era is A Good Man Goes to War as the Doctor doesn't appear until 1/4 of the way into the episode.
