Howling:Colonel Jefferson

sonar When Canton steps back out of the "prison", the soldier insists that he talk with Colonel Jefferson. Then Doctor Shepard also says he need to talk with Colonel Jefferson. So who is Colonel Jefferson.

Also, on a tangent, then President Nixon walks out of the prison to silence the first insistance on talking to the Colonel, he says I'm President Nixon, this strikes me as bad writing. I would expect better of the Doctor Who writers. So the question is why reference a this Colonel or make the President seem so foreign or awkward (even for Nixon)? To quote Chekhov,"One must not put a loaded rifle on the stage if no one is thinking of firing it."170.140.105.1 23:32, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
