:Besides, it's just Occam's razor: Cornell wrote this well after the broadcast of ''The Timeless Children'', when this was the revelation on everyone's minds. If he made a continuity error, neglected to take into account that they got separated at the end of the finale, or simply assumed that by the time of this story the group is reunited, it's not up to us to try to find alternative meanings to shoehorn this story elsewhere in the timeline.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 02:27, April 16, 2020 (UTC)

Placement

Sorry but where's the evidence this is after Timeless Children? I know what part of the story that continuity note is referring to but I think it's vague enough that it can be interpreted in a number of ways. Plus there's no indication that the Doctor is reuniting with the fam after being imprisoned.MystExplorer 02:11, April 16, 2020 (UTC)

It's quite clear: "I'm more than I knew about. Still processing all that." More than I knew about = past lives she's recently found out about. And all that indicates there's been quite a lot to process. (And importantly, she makes a definitive statement here, having learned about the Timeless Child incarnations and now dealing with that hard information, whereas she's just confused after, say, Fugitive, and hasn't learned anything she can put into context at all.)
Besides, it's just Occam's razor: Cornell wrote this well after the broadcast of The Timeless Children, when this was the revelation on everyone's minds. If he made a continuity error, neglected to take into account that they got separated at the end of the finale, or simply assumed that by the time of this story the group is reunited, it's not up to us to try to find alternative meanings to shoehorn this story elsewhere in the timeline.

Well, fair enough, but if something happens to the fam in Revolution of the Daleks that permanently disrupts them (i.e. death), then the placement of this story will become more complicated.MystExplorer 02:42, April 16, 2020 (UTC)
