Howling:That blasted year skip again

Hi I was wondering what is the status on the year skip we ignoring it or what. Some articles on this wiki are ignoring it the cult of skaro articles are. I think it is Dalek caan I am not sure it might be sec says they came in in 2006 which obviously ignores the year skip. I think I saw a few other articles ignore it. Yet the articles on each year do not ignore the year skip and I dont think the battle of canary wharf one does. Really I think we should just decide one way or the other wether to ignore it or not. I used to think it was no big deal just have Rose set in 2004, but the end of time thing kinda screwed that when Rose said it was 2005. We should just decide one way or the other change them to accomodate or ignore the time skip. I am aware of the setting everything in 2009 theory but that still wouldn't make the battle in 2006. If it wasn't for that one line in End of time this could easily be explained. We could probably just have it that rose wanted to see how drunk he was LOL and thats why she said 2005 a year later than it was. Though that still dosen't explain why the doctor didn't react, maybe he got mixed up to. User:Winehousefan: 22:25, June 9, 2010 [UTC]


 * We're not ignoring the year skip. From the end of Rose until the 2009 specials, the modern-time episodes took place a year in the future. Then the 2009 specials took place in 2009. Many articles were changed back and forth during the debates over this, and not all of them were fixed when the debates were settled, so fix any that you find. Or, if it's not obvious what to do for a particular story, bring it up on the Talk page or in the Forum (but not the Howling--this is for speculation, not for fixing articles). --Falcotron 23:21, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

The truth is, the writers didin't give a crap, and went and ignored it, like: Blink, waired 2007, dialouge say it's 2007; The Fire of Pompiie, Donna references the series 4 premire as being 2008, the year it aired. Seires 5 did the same thing. The writers just don't care. The writers ignore it, and people her ignore that the writers ignore it. I just blame the crack.

The Torchwood set during series 2, Torchwood series 2, and the website messages set during series 2, ALL say it's early 2008, the year that series aired, which takes place after Doctor Who series 3, which is placed in 2007 by dialouge. Torchwood series 2, which everything cites as early 2008, it set shortly before Doctor Who series 4, which both Partners in Crime and The Waters of Mars describe as being 2008. The 2009 special Planet of the Dead forces series 4 to be in 2008 by being set in April 2009 -- but after The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, which was in May or June. Children of Earth was dated September 2009, the year it aired, again ignoring the year skip crap. The list goes on. Seires 5 gave it a big "f-off" by throwing the year 2010 around, the year it aired. I'm half-expecting the events of The Stolen Earth/Journey's End to be classed as "two years ago" when tey return to Amy's time period in 2010, and again refered to as being 2008. I will be lauhging all the way into next Tuesday, as it will finally teach the users here to ignore that stupid year crap, like the wrtiers did. Delton Menace 02:11, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

I do hate the year skipm in smoe ways. It does get confusing when you see slitheen in 2006. But stil thats clarified it for me. I think it probably is just RTD didn't care he normally does remember stuff about stories he's written, not like some other shows. But he probably forgot about it first and then thought who gives a fuck he's a time travellor and that was that when he remebered it. Off topic but it was steven moffat that came up with the whole time wimey thing right I mean the phrase obviously not time itself LOL. Winehousefan: 16:10, June 10, 2010 [UTC]

Delton I said it and I will say it again you are mad, look all I am sayiong is the year ahead thing happened and then the doctor restroed it by returning to 2009 in the end of time. So there the time line is on sink and anyone who changes it I will change it back so Ha. --Catkind121 16:56, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
