Talk:Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)

Companions
I've added Brian, Nefertiti, and John Riddell to the "companions" list. I have mutliple reasons why:
 * 1) The Doctor states that they are all in his "group," meaning he almost strait out calls them companions.
 * 2) They all fit the requirements for companions. They travelled with him just as much as Adelaide Brooke or Christina de Souza did.
 * 3) Brian, in perticular, is shown to have gone on futher adventures with the Doctor afterwards (In the form of a postcard)
 * 4) John Riddell states that he has met the Doctor before.
 * 5) Nefertiti travelled in the TARDIS willingly with the Doctor, no diffrent from anyone else who snuck aboard, like Zoe Heriot.
 * 6) They are no less companions then Adelaide Brooke or Christina de Souza.
 * 7) I said that one twice becuase it was important.

if anyone disagrees, we can discuss it here. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:05, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Being part of a group does not make you a companion, IMO. Being a companion implies a longer-term relationship than a single adventure.
 * 2) I still contest Brooke or de Souza being companions. I know that the BBC calls them companions, but we don't have an in-universe source confirming that. De Souza never even stepped in the TARDIS--some companion. Brooke didn't travel with the Doctor; he just took her on a single trip to rescue her life.
 * 3) You have a good point with Brian further travelling with the Doctor, although it seems more like sight-seeing than saving the day with the Doctor. And do we know for sure he was with the Doctor, instead of travelling by himself?
 * 4) Riddell is an adventurer--a "companion" who doesn't travel with the Doctor, but shares an adventure with him, like Brooke or de Souza.
 * 5) Again, Nefertiti is an adventurer.
 * 6) Again, Brooke and de Souza are not companions.
 * 7) I would actually advocate using or coming up with terms to clarify "companions" like Riddell, Nefertiti, Brooke, and de Souza. We already distinguish between single-adventure, short-term, and long-term companions. So why not use a different term to describe people who share adventures with the Doctor, without necessarily travelling with him? -- Bold  Clone  02:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * In at least one of the postcards, the TARDIS is present. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 02:31, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a drawing though, not a photo. He could have sent it as a joke. -- Bold  Clone  02:41, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well actually, it was a photoshopped image of the 9th/10th's TARDIS, which I assume is to say that Rory's dad travelled with the Doctor for tiny amount of time. See point below.

 * Presuming that the picture is not real is simply pure specualtion. It may have been photoshopped in the real world, but in the DWU we must presume that it was real. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 03:38, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's my point haha. I'm backing you up. It doesn't matter that the Doctor Who team has photoshopped it, we have to assume it to be a real happening otherwise they wouldn't have done it haha

Postcard Issues (Production Errors)
Just a note to say that I added a point about the final postcard received by Amy and Rory from Rory's dad where it shows the Ninth/Tenth Doctor's TARDIS. Naturally, this could be purposeful and the Moff could be planning something but I thought that it should most definitely be mentioned anyway until we hear any further news. By the 50th Anniversary, if it doesn't get referenced, then it is most probably a true error. Hope you're okay with that. The Farty  Doctor   Talk  02:41, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Dinosaurs
Just something... the Velociraptors are the same CGI model as in Primeval (am I right in saying that The Mill reused them?), and the Ankylosaurus on the final "Siluaria" postcard is as the ones seen in Walking With Dinosaurs. Chuck1551 ☎  21:11, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
