2006[edit]

This was reverted earlier, and you can revert it as much as you like, but the Gwen joining Torchwood in 2006 doesn't establish anything. It's a continuity error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.250.130 (talk) 23:07, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Review coverage[edit]

This episode has received a phenomenal amount of review coverage from British and American presses. Most of it positive. Not to mention countless interviews from the promotional machine. This article has a lot of potential to be really, really great.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 13:26, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Esther Drummond, really?[edit]

Is there any statement on whether her name is a deliberate reference to "Wester Drumlins" from the DW episode "Blink"? 72.247.151.10 (talk) 19:19, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. It was Esther Katusi, and changed to Drummond when they cast a white actress in the role.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 21:51, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Amnesia Pill[edit]

Get your facts straight. It's called B67 or Retcon, not the Amnesia Pill. Matter of fact, Jack doesn;t even call it an Amnesia Pill, he calls it Retcon.

71.238.177.13 (talk) 21:50, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, but amnesia pill is a descriptive term that is informative for non-fans.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 21:51, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about "an amnesia pill he calls Retcon", together with an internal link to the Retcon page? 124.169.176.1 (talk) 05:22, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, any variant of that, linking to List of Torchwood items, is fine. "Doses her with Retcon (an amnesia pill)" and wordings like that are probably fine. What Wikipedia aims for is clear and concise and not too fannish. Whoever did the write-up did a great job.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 11:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Title?[edit]

The BBC is listing this only as "Episode 1" even after broadcast. "The New World" appears nowhere in the listings: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012mbqm Is this a US title only? Mezigue (talk) 19:58, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It gives the episode a name. Does "US only" actually mean anything with regard to the name of the episode? As in, it's some separate entity if it airs somewhere else, and both has and doesn't have a name? The episode, regardless of how it's being used, does have a definitive name used in American promotional materials, British and American commentaries, and the real-world side of production.Zythe (talk) 15:10, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
