Talk:Black Guardian

Being: misunderstanding?
The current Being section says:
 * On one occasion, the Doctor referred to beings sometimes known as "a" Black Guardian, implying that there could be more than one. (TV: The Stones of Blood)

But from what I can tell this seems to be a misunderstanding of the script. There are two references to the Black Guardian(s) in The Stones of Blood: The use of the word "being" in the second quote, and "They" in the last sentence doesn't rule out other Black and White Guardians, but to go from this to multiple Black Guardians is speculation, especially when the quote is taken in the context of the rest of the series. -- xensyria T 14:03, December 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) At the start of the first episode, the voice of the White Guardian saying just: "Beware the Black Guardian", twice.
 * 2) In the next scene, the Doctor explains to Romana, saying: "The voice you just heard and the being you saw in the shape of the President was the White Guardian, or to be more accurate, the Guardian of Light in Time as opposed to the Guardian of Darkness, sometimes called the Black Guardian. They can assume any shape or form they wish."


 * Removed on the basis the episode doesn't support this speculation. Burden of proof should be on anyone who wants to restore it. -- xensyria T 14:07, January 10, 2016 (UTC)

Infobox image
Just a suggestion - would it be worth updating the image in the infobox, maybe to a clearer and more defined shot of the character (possibly taken from Mawdryn Undead or Enlightenment)? — Fractal Doctor @  22:29, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
