Talk:The Doctor (Battlefield)

Merge
Given that The Collection establishes that Muldwych and Merlin are the same incarnation, can we merge the two articles? --Pluto2 (talk) 04:19, December 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * In what way? Muldwych could just be an incarnation after Dokien. CoT     ?  03:19, December 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * Muldwych gives rings to Benny in Happy Endings. Collection has Dokien recalling doing so recently. --Pluto2 (talk) 03:27, December 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * Can I have a quote on that? I'm not finding anything of the sort while skimming through. CoT     ?  03:40, December 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * It's near the end. Jason is mad at Brax for giving Dokien the rings, claiming they weren't his to give away. Brax responds with "Where do you think you got them from in the first place?", confirming Muldwych = Dokien. --Pluto2 (talk) 01:01, January 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * All that confirms is that Dokien = the Doctor. CoT     ?  01:53, January 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * What in that story confirms that Dokien is THIS Doctor? There's no mention of any type of description, or even a mention of Merlin. 99.226.85.206talk to me 17:55, February 18, 2017 (UTC)

That absolutely does not confirm that they are the same incarnation. All it confirms is that this incarnation is the Doctor and Muldwych is also the Doctor. Also I've removed references to this Doctor being Merlin since that apparently was mentioned entirely from an out-of-universe p.o.v. OS25 (Talk) 16:23, March 9, 2017 (UTC)

Battlefield
Pretty sure this Doc appears in the novelisation for Battlefield. CoT    ?  16:06, March 9, 2017 (UTC)


 * All I've seen so far is that the author planned to imply that the two were the same incarnation. I've seen no solid evidence -- not even a single quote -- to suggest that this actually ended up happening.


 * Also: We can not definitively say that Merlin is anyone or anything. Because the Eighth Doctor is also Merlin. And I'm sure that at some point someone else will be Merlin. Someone will probably retcon the War Doctor into being Merlin before someone else writes a TV story about the twenty-second Doctor being Merlin. OS25 (Talk) 16:40, March 9, 2017 (UTC)
