Talk:Hypercube

Hypercube or Psychic Container?

It is most commonly known as a hypercube, but why did the Doctor call it a Psychic Container in The Doctor's Wife? Also, Character Options call it a Psychic Container. BroadcastCorp. 09:38, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

I think he meant that a hypercube is a type of psychic container.--Skittles the hog - talk 09:44, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Commonly called? Where, at your pub? When someone asks "Why did they ban DDT?" Do you insist on calling it dichrolodiphenyltrichloroethane?"? Should the Doctor have called it a Hypercube and left it at that, since everyone knows what it is?Boblipton 11:16, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Don't be so rude. And anyway I don't really understand what you're saying. I don't own a pub, I don't even work at a pub. Sometimes you've got to make yourself clear. BroadcastCorp. 11:47, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

As for merchandise descriptions our Tardis:Canon policy is clear on this front. Under "What is not considered a valid source, and why?" Merchandise - Several items of merchandise are often given names that never appear in dialogue or are never seen on screen and have often been produced for marketing purposes.. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:54, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

That's all very well and good, but where does the term "hypercube" come from? I don't recall it being used on screen in either The War Games or The Doctor's Wife; presumably it's so named in one of the stories from other media mentioned in the article. If so, that's fine, but we really should have a note in the "Behind the Scenes" section clarifying where the name comes from. —Josiah Rowe ^{talk to me} 04:24, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
