Talk:Emma (The Curse of Fatal Death)

Tomorrow Windows?

I've checked a couple of online synopses of this book and there's no reference to Emma appearing. Wasn't it another book - or possibly an audio - that suggested Fatal Death and Shalka occurred in parallel universes? 23skidoo 21:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

I think you mean The Gallifrey Chronicles. But GC never approaches describing the alternate ninth Doctors. It only says, in one line, that the Eighth Doctor has three ninth selves. You can literally take it to mean anything, even though the author has confirmed (on doctorwhoforums.com, if I'm not mistaken) that he meant for those three Ninth selves to be Atkinson, Grant and Eccleston. Without this heads up from the author, though, the passage means relatively little more than the vague ramblings of a soothsayer. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 09:19, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

What am I talking about? It is this novel which actually shows the Doctor's futures in the various titular "tomorrow windows". This is the only place you'll find a description of a future self of the Eighth Doctor that matches Rowan Atkinson. And Emma does indeed appear. The Eighth Doc catches a glimpse of Emma and Atkinson sitting on the Sofa of Reasonable Comfortability. And there's a reasonable description of the REG Doctor too. The only thing is that the book doesn't really say anything about the number of the various incarnations we see, and some of them are clearly just vague extrapolations, kinda as seen in Brain of Morbius.

Let us agree this one is non-canonical and if anyone wants to know why, we can explain later. Boblipton ^{talk to me} 01:27, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
