Forum:The Three Doctors not Season 6B?

Forgive me if this is obvious (or conversely, a load of gibbering nonsense), but most of my Doctor Who knowledge is from the 2005 revival and bits and bobs of the classic series. I know of Season 6B being established in TV Comic and the BBC Past Doctor Adventures and I know of the CIA being referenced in The Deadly Assassin, though I've read and watched neither.

Currently, the Second Doctor's page effectively says that two contradictory accounts say that either the CIA sent the Second Doctor to the incident with Omega during Season 6B, or that he was taken from the Land of Fiction some time after The Invasion (and implicitly, before The War Games, though maybe I'm reading into that improperly). So, is The Three Doctors said to be part of the Second Doctor's post-trial adventures in the novels (but not PROSE: Future Imperfect, where the Land of Fiction thing comes in), or is it a (not unreasonable, given Future Imperfect seems to contradict the Time Lords not putting the Doctor on trial sooner) assumption based on the fact that the CIA is behind all missions post-The War Games? -- Tybort (talk page) 15:57, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * It took me a few reads of Future Imperfect to understand what was wrong with the article. It's such a tiny little ¾ page story that every word is actually important.  The basic deal is that our article has it wrong that there are contradictory accounts.  There's one account, its name is Future Imperfect, and the article needs to be restructured so that it makes more sense. The problem with the article is that the placement of the information is such that it implies serial RRR happened post-War Games.  It didn't.  It happened, according to Imperfect, sometime after The Mind Robber, but while Zoe was still on board.  I'll rewrite Second Doctor.  18:50: Sat 10 Nov 2012
 * Okay, I've restructured the article by adding a new section, Second Doctor and Second Doctor, and by renaming the section you quoted as "Working for the CIA". We don't know, precisely, when RRR or 6K take place.  The best we can do is to just use language that suggests our lack of knowledge and quarantine them off into their own sections.


 * Another thing we must keep clear in the "Defending against Omega" section is that the Doctor thinks he remembers the Goth from "presiding over meetings of the CIA". That's a direct quote.  The Doctor could be wrong.  It is not fair to say, like the article did before, that RRR was a CIA mission.  Just that Two knows there's some kind of connection between Goth and the CIA. Don't forget, too, that Goth is not actually in RRR and he doesn't get named until  Deadly Assassin, three years later.  19:14: Sat 10 Nov 2012


 * Hmm, are you insinuating that it's not definitively connecting Horsfall's Time Lord 1 (The War Games) with Goth or am I completely misreading that? Also, how would we approach the reference to The Three Doctors in the "Fans start to ponder things" in Season 6B given that a valid source has definitively placed The Three Doctors outside of 6B? -- Tybort (talk page) 19:32, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Future Imperfect does not definitively have anything to say about Time Lord 1. And RRR is grossly misrepresented on the page Season 6B, not just in the section you quote, but also in the chart. As far as I know, there is no narrative source for RRR being in 6B at all.  (That chart needs to be redone so that actual sources are given, not just a vague "established in other media" line.)  20:39: Sat 10 Nov 2012
 * So effectively, references to Goth being the Time Lord at the tribunal needs redoing as well. -- Tybort (talk page) 13:23, November 16, 2012 (UTC)
