Talk:The Big Bang (TV story)

Episode Length
A press release has confirmed that the episode will last 55 minutes from 6:05-7:00

For now and unmessyness
Until it confirmed and the episode airs it is hard to determine which aliens who are appearing will be a villain/enemy so I have placed all confirmed appearances of previous aliens in the story notes section until it is actually confirmed who will be the villains as it helps to stop people messing with the infobox. -- Michael Downey 11:54, May 22, 2010 (UTC).

Omega and Dark Tower/Death Zone
See Talk:The Pandorica Opens. Whatever is done with these rumors, let's make sure that the two pages are kept in sync. --Falcotron 07:26, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Monster Names
I've fixed up all the aliens confirmed to appear on the "enemy" bit on the infobox. If you have any other names of monsters please put them down along with a reference. ~ BillyWilliam3rd

Rory
Why did someone remove Rory from the cast? We know he's appearing. Weren't there even pictures of him in it? He may have died, but still: wibbly wobbly timey wimey. --Golden Monkey 20:35, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

I bet there is evidence that Rory is gonna appear (not that I took him off cast) but wherez the evidence? ~ BillyWilliam3rd


 * I'm not sure who removed him here. I added him, with a reference, at the same time I removed him from episode 12 (because all of the spoilery evidence given for him was from episode 13, not 12).


 * However, thinking about it some more, we don't actually have confirmation (at least in any of the spoilers I've seen) that Rory appears in episode 13. There are pictures confirming that Arthur Darvill appears, in Roman armor (one source specifically says Roman auxiliary armor), but that doesn't prove that he's Rory. Sure, it seems the most likely explanation, but think of Princess Astra and Romana II, Maxil and the 6th Doctor, Gwynneth and Gwen, Adeola and Martha, the Soothsayer and Amy Pond, and probably more that I've forgotten. In many cases, there's a connection of some kind between the characters (Romana deliberately patterning herself on Astra, Martha having a Patty-Duke-like identical cousin, Gwen having a not-genetic-relative-but-some-weird-rifty-thing, etc.), but in some there's not even that.


 * Still, it seems reasonable to at the very least least add Arthur Darvill to the Cast playing "TBA (possibly Rory Williams)", with the same reference that he had before, and then put some discussion of whether he's Rory or not in the Rumours section.


 * Alternatively, I'd list him as Rory, and then add a Rumour that he might be some character other than Rory. After all, it's always possible that even the 11th Doctor won't be there and Matt Smith will just happen to be playing some random character. How far do we have to go with our skepticism? --Falcotron 10:44, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Shots of filming
Without trying to throw out spoilers, a couple of leaked filming shots snuck out today on a few websites show Patrick Stewart's presence clearly on the set for this episode...what's the policy of posting in regards to such matters? Are we a) not allowed to mention, b) allowed to mention and source c) post the images proper and mention. Ostensibly, I'll do whatever the guidance is....unless someone sees the shots before me and gets there first! Roger Dangerfield 11:23, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's already a big giant spoiler warning at the top of the page, and the article is already full of spoilers and even random rumours. So, don't worry about adding it. And definitely source it.


 * The only question is how reliable the source is, and how clear it is that Patrick Stewart is in the episode vs., say, just visiting the set. Make the best guess you can on those questions and decide whether to put it in Rumours or to add him to the Cast. --Falcotron 11:55, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * One more question: Does he look like he's dressed as the Meddling Monk? (Remember that Sun rumor that Stewart would play the Monk in the finale of David Tennant's season 5, which came out days before it was announced that no such season would exist?) --Falcotron 22:39, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Flesh & Stone

I am really annoyed that they have no Weeping Angels in it,because they are my faverioute enemy!!!:( OGREPOP 09:36, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Picture
The picture in this article is not to do with The Big Bang. It is of The Pandorica Opens. I just saw the same scene image only a side view on the website. Kranitoko (talk) 17:22, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Let's keep rumours clean.
It's flood with random fan speculation that isn't based on anything, or very little. Or far-ferfetched. The only heavily rumoured ultimate enemy of the finale are the Doctor and Omega, and that is based on quite a bit of released into and spoilers, so it has a right to be an official rumour on the page. The description of what is inside the Pandorica fits the description of the Doctor... and he is shown being dragged to the Pandorica in a released picture most have seen by now. There has been a opular rumour that Omega in returning, too, and some reliable spoiler people on Gallifrey Base (these are people who, in all honestly, know quite a way ahead, some see unreleased pictures earlier on, ect..) may not know if the rumour is true or not, but they mostly say it is possibly -- nothing even they know suggests it can't be.

But ridiculous things such as the Master, who left in, what, January and the very last finale... already? Besides, that's one of those silly random fan-boy-fueled rumours that aren't based on anything, be it set reports, spoilers, or episode information. Let's keep it at individuals who are heavily rumoured, and not just fanboy wants. Delton Menace 22:44, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Yes this is similair to the enemy section. I have repeatedly kept it as "TBC" as even though there are many aliens/monsters mentioned and confirmed to appear, nothing is confirmed whether they are to play an enemy part so until Saturday or proper confirmation this should be kept clean. -- Michael Downey 23:50, June 13, 2010 (UTC).
