Theory talk:Timeline - Leela

Placement of Wicked Sisters Stories
As noted, During the Wicked Sisters anthology Leela not appears older than the Doctor but is also shown to be older than 40 years of age. I very much doubt that these take place shortly after her adventures with the Fourth Doctor in her own timeline. That's to say nothing of how she seems to be very used to Time Lord technology and the science behind it at this point. I think it's reasonable to assume that theses stories probably take place much later in her timeline. Though they do reference the events of Time in Office as being recent, so that's something we should keep in mind as well. –Nahald ☎  10:15, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Well given that Lowri is president, this has to be set before Romana became president, no? That seems the pertinent continuity point here, at least to me. Danochy ☎  09:45, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, there’s no discussion here. It goes where it goes and there’s no way around that. Besides, there’s nowhere you could theoretically place this where it would make sense for Leela to be significantly older like this. SarahJaneFan ☎  10:59, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The only possible explanation I can think of is that the Time Lords in Lowri's time thought that an older Leela would be more suitable for this mission rather than her present day self and plucked her out of her future. It's always kind of hard to tell when it comes to the Time Lords, at this point Leela's timeline is looking to become as convoluted as Ace's. Hopefully one day they'll provide some sort of explanation for it all, and maybe while they're at it, they can retcon that ridiculous and completely nonsensical reincarnation story arc that comes at the end of her life. Seriously, Leela deserves better than that. –Nahald ☎  09:08, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
