Talk:Great Intelligence

Origin?
Was it ever confirmed on-screen that the GI was from the universe before this one? I got the impression the events of "the snowmen" were supposed to be it's origins, and a tv story contradicting a novel isn't unusual.


 * It's conflicting information. One's from a TV story and one's from I believe an audio (could've been a novel...). We consider both valid sources. Until such a time when the inconsistency is explained, let's just leave it at two different accounts of its creation. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  12:33, February 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's how I would leave it, if that was how it was. Currently it doesn't even mention "The Snowmen" as a possible origin.Thomsons Gazelle ☎  12:45, February 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Really?! It used to! I'll check the history to see who deleted it, then.


 * Great, now we both adding unsigned tags to one another. I went through the history all the way back to Christmas and no mention. Which is weird, since I specifically remember reading it. Plus it doesn't list me as having done anything and yet I'm following the page. And I'm certain I didn't just click follow. Weird... SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  13:03, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Spell My Name with a "The"
Wouldn't this page properly be "The Great Intelligence"? It's always referred to with a "the", and we have pages like The Doctor, The Master, The Rani, etc. d ●  ●   ●   16:13, March 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * You may have a point... Hmm.... OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 17:19, March 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree. If it's almost always referred to as "the Great Intelligence" or "the Intelligence," the article name should reflect that. Memnarc ☎  02:32, April 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Kizlet addresses it without the definite article, unfortunately. --ComicBookGoddess ☎  02:40, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well... She was addressing it. In the same sense that, when addressing him, everyone calls the Doctor "Doctor," yet his name still includes "the" and his article is still named "The Doctor." In fact, I bet you he's been called "Doctor" more times than "the Doctor," but that's only because it'd be awkward to address him as "the Doctor." --SOTO ☎ 03:02, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Still, makes it fuzzy enough to leave off the definite article. --ComicBookGoddess ☎  05:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

"The Shard" is the name of the building
It's one of a number of unique buildings in London that have a name, like The Gherkin.

The actual name of Miss Kizlet's company was not given. Considering it only had one client, it may not even have one.

Her tablet had "Cloud Inc" in the corner at one point.

 * Name on the tablet wouldn't necessarily reference the company owning it. Could be the name of the software. --ComicBookGoddess ☎  19:37, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Due to the constant references to "the cloud" in the episode, I don't think it is an unfair assumption that "Cloud Inc." is the company name and not the producer of the software (although I doubt the software would be produced by a separate company based on the nature of the software). Having said that, I rewatched the episode and didn't see the "Cloud Inc." I did watch it on ABC's iView player which is fairly low res so it may have been on the screen at some point and I just assumed it was nothing due to being illegible, but a screenshot (or even approximate time) would still be nice. -- Snorlax Monster  13:06, April 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * And they may have been intending to name it that but backed off after the solicitors found five or six companies by that name that might not like the reference. --ComicBookGoddess ☎  21:42, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Plan D
Considering Miss Kizlet's age, and that she was taken by TGI as a child, may we connect the dots to say that she was captured shortly after the failure of the London Underground plot? (It is even possible she was involved as a child during the events of The Web of Fear, but that's far more speculative.) d ●  ●  ●   19:52, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't remember them giving her an age in narrative, so it would probably be too speculative. Nice thinking, though. It would need a new goto, wouldn't it? --ComicBookGoddess ☎  02:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
