Talk:Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart

Death
Doesn't "The Power of Three" confirm that he died earlier than in 2050s? 78.8.2.156talk to me 00:26, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, yes, I suppose it does. That needs to be added in somewhere. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:13, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Weeeeelll.... strictly speaking, all Kate Stewart does is refer to her father talking about the Doctor "to the end". She doesn't say "he died in a nursing home just before you phoned". It could be argued that the Brig faked his death when he went offf to Avalon, or that the chances of his returning are so slim that Kate already thinks of him as dead. It's a stretch, I'll admit, but there's nothing *specific* so far (that I know of) that definitely stops the two versions of his life from being forced into consistency86.148.8.212talk to me 17:37, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

Year 2021
At the bottom of the page there is a note:

''"The Brigadier, at Sarah Jane's wedding in 2010, is said to be back in Peru, but by 2021, his daughter Kate confirms he is dead, meaning he passed away between 2010 and 2021." ''

2021??? O_o I don't think The Power of Three setting is 8-9 years after 2012...--Sid-Vicious ☎  05:00, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

2020
Currently on the article it says:
 * Lethbridge-Stewart died sometime before 2020. (TV: The Power of Three)

Where does the date 2020 come from? It's not mentioned on The Power of Three article and there's no reference to the Brig on the 2020 article either. --Tangerineduel / talk 12:37, October 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's extrapolation. Amy says that time according to her has been ten years from "Leadworth" to that episode, meaning it's no later than 2020, and likely a lot earlier seeing as I think the end of A Town Called Mercy mentions that Amy's travelled for long enough that she may be ageing at a different rate to her friends on Earth.
 * No year is stated in the episode at all, but Three's mentioning the Brig's death means it can't be any later than 2020, and is almost certainly not too many years after 2012, even if Three doesn't give a specific year. -- Tybort (talk page) 14:00, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict)
 * When The Power of Three aired, there was a lot of speculation regarding its date, and while most of it has been removed from the article, some of it has crept onto other pages. This one must be an example of that. Shambala108 ☎  14:02, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

River
QUOTE: "the Brigadier met more of the Doctor's incarnations than any other companion apart from Clara Oswald and River Song."

Surely River only met two incarnations so far, as far as we're aware (10 & 11)? I may have missed something but I don't remember any reference to her meeting the others. We know she didn't meet any of them pre-Tennant or he would have recognised her in Silence in the Library. She may well meet a lot of his future incarnations, but we have no way of knowing if it's going to be more than the Brig. Unless this is something that's been stated in a novel or somewhere else; the article gives no citation. 86.17.62.184talk to me 14:31, May 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * River supposedly meets the Doctor's past incarnations in the video game The Eternity Clock. Shambala108 ☎  03:32, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

Final appearance
Could the episode " The Wedding of River Song" be counted on his appearance list or... ?
 * I don't remember seeing him in that episode. As far as I know, he doesn't appear in any BBC Wales DW episodes. Shambala108 ☎  00:44, October 16, 2014 (UTC)
