Howling:New Whoniverse

Okay now the big bang had the doctor recreating everything. Is there a new Whoniverse or what. Is this just the old one recreated or have bigger changes come about for instance can people now remember those events that were wiped or not. Well to be honest I suppose we may know the answer when the doc meets up with Sarah Jane and Jo Grant if people can remember them. But still though is this crisis on infinte earths a complete reboot of the whoniverse or is it just another journey's end spider wars. For instance if the multiverse is different then should we have an article for it like whoniverse 2 or new whoniverse like dc comics new earth. Should we even have new articles on characters like Amy Pond [New Whoniverse] Daleks [New Whoniverse] if it does turn out that this is a whole different reality. Personally I hope that it is just a journey's end in that he saved the multiverse rather than completely rebuild it, I mean I liked the idea of a new rebooted canon at first but now having thought about I think its to big a thing to do that. Let me know what your opinions are do you think this is just the old canon restored or do you think its now an entirely new canon with some convienent similarities to the old one and convienent differences to the old one Winehousefan, 14:00, July 4 2010 [UTC

The Doctor said that Amy's timeline is slightly different, so at least Amy is different...anyway, we know that what happened in Series 5 and Series 1-4 can't co-exist on the same timeline, so at least one of the timelines is gones, thus it is not a restoration...203.168.176.42 13:24, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

You really have to go with everything is the same until it's explicitly stated that it isn't. I like the idea of everything being new and open and unfettered by 'past' continuity but I can't see the point in marking everything up whoniverse and newwhoniverse at this stage. Wait and see. Moffat may not have intended a significant change at all and may think that he's put everything back exactly as it was or he may think that he's got rid of everything he didn't want. Has he been interviewed about his yet? In the end only he and the other writers will make the decision. Jack Chilli 14:43, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

The universe as ew knew it from 1963 to 2010 was destroyed... and then rebooted. It does appear as though the series now takes place in a new Whoniverse where none of the old or revived series evenets ever took place because they were in the old, destroyed universe.

A spoiler for Torchwood series 4 has mentioned that it now takes place in a world where no one remembers any of the alien invasions that happened, as if they never happened. Click that with the fact that in Doctor Who series 5, which aired before Torchwood series 4 (both of which ar ein new eras), which shows things being erased and eventually the universe being destroyed and rebooted. They click.

Going by Torchwood series 4, the evnets of the series 56 finale have totally recreated the Whoniverse. It's a similar, but there are some drastic changes - no invasions, from what we're getting. So the reboot of series 5 and the Torchwood series 4 spoiler both say the universe has changed hugely following Big Bang Two. We will need to see what we learn from The Sarah Jane Adventures series 4, now. Notably, the episode the Doctor will be in.

In thoery, RTD and Moffat, both show runners of Whoniverse-set shows, might have wanted to keep the continuity between them, and rebooted the universe in Doctor Who, which would then make it so that in Torchwood, too, and possibly SJA, the reboot applies to their new series, too.

I think we're gonna have to play this one by ear, See what happens in SJA and Torchwood. Ugh...we're going to have to rewrite a lot of articles... - '' I. Am. Excalibur-117''-(talk • contribs) 15:19, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Oh boy, very true, Excalibur. By rewriting time in the show to such an extent, articles need to be rewritten, too. It's such a pain. The problem now is that all of the continuity with have placed on here could have all gone to pot following the reboot of the universe. We could have a new, similar, or even hugely different, continuity now. I have said it before, and I will say it again, we need to stop placing all events in that one timeline. The Whoniverse has been recreated, and goodness knows what now.

The events of series 5 are all part of an alternate timeline now. It will be even more awkward if the cracks, honestly, never even happened. We have the original timeline, the original timeline with some events erased by the crack, the timeline then destroyed and rebooted, a world then where the cracks never even happened. This is very awkward.

By thory, from now on, it's a different timeline to before, but similar. But what about River? Post-Big Bang River would go on to do events in the timeline with the cracks, removed events, the old timeline.

I mean, it would mean that when River first me tthe Doctor, she was in the rebooted universe, then the old universe for The Big Bang, then the new universe, then the old universe for The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone and Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. Ugh. *facepalm* Delton Menace 15:33, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

At any rate, there's not much we can do right now. Put this discussion on the back burner for now, then revisit it come DW Series 6, TW and SJA Series 4. - '' I. Am. Excalibur-117''-(talk • contribs) 15:39, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Based on the spoiler Delton said about torchwood 4 having no alien invasions suggests to me this is a crisis on infinite earths type reboot and we will have a new continuity.. Whether this is as big reboot as new earth in dc comics I.E these are now different characters with similar histories as oppossed to the same characters with parts of their past changed reamains to be seen. Excalibur is right until series 6 we will not know for sure. I have very mixed feelings, on the one hand a new Whoniverse and a second big bang is a very interesting idea but I think it might be to much friction among fans, look at dc comics people are still bitching about crisis on infinite earths.
