Talk:Time Crash (TV story)

Time Crash occurs after: DW: Warriors of the Deep

Time Crash occurs before: DW: The Awakening

That's a bit conclusive. I thought the special was fairly ambiguous about where the Fifth Doctor was from.

 * Eh I just put it there to have something there feel free to change it. I just had a read through the OG forum and chose one of the more agreed upon placings. Really it could be anywhere after Arc of Infinity (and even that's a maybe). But maybe we could just get rid of it completely, I just thought it might be worth it placement wise, but as I said it can be rid of. --Tangerineduel 15:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry if I was rash, in fact it was me who decided on this placement on the OG thread so I should know lol.

Am I to surmise…
…that it was Reapers the Doctor was most worried about in Caves of Androzani? - Tawaki 02:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Canonicity
Since there's been some debate over whether Time Crash "really" happened in the canon, I've imported a tidbit that I originalled added to the Wikipedia article on this story, in which Moffat told DWM that the story is canonical. And since he becomes the boss next year, that makes it pretty authoratative. 23skidoo 02:43, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Position
An IP added the following this story must occur after Snakedance. I have seen this sort of thing before. The argument goes something like this:

The Doctor mentions these stories to try and figure out where the fifth doctor is. He mentions Cybermen, The Master, Time Lords in Fynny hats, the mara, Nyssa and Tegan - so it must be somewhere in there. Since he is saying these adventures he must have been through all of them. Now the mara are mentioned in that list - why would he mention them unless he has already met them twice - there fore aftersnakedance.

This is of course a complete overuse of logic. The first argument (that he is trying to figure out where he is) is reasonable - but if he doesn't now where he is, then how is he supposed to know which adventures he has or hasn't passed? If he is trying to figure out where he is by mentioning these stories, then perhaps he uses the mara to try and figure out whether the fifth has actually had his second meeting yet. It is therefore untrue to say that just because he mentions stories that they must have happened before the fifth doctor had this adventure. Jack's the man - 20:49, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Production Error
I left a perfectly correct production error on the page but it has been removed. Can someone please explain why? Mc hammark 12:19, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Kettle and String
The only thing that we don't have a reference to here is the Kettle and String comment. Does anyone know what that is a reference to? I've been trying to figure it out. Nemnel 06:43, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
