Talk:The Rebel Flesh

Not ready
I still don't think this is ready to be an article just yet. A cast list inside an infobox isn't really enough. – anemone projectors – 22:48, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Eye-patch lady
I think it's inappropriate to label the fact that the Eye-patch lady has appeared three times as original research. Yes, the only way one could check this is to count, but that applies to so many things. It's not original research to say that the human hand has five fingers. It's not original research to say that "The Pen" is the twentieth episode of Seinfeld. These things are common sense – and WP:CALC would seem to apply. (I am, of course, assuming that nobody has counted a different number of appearances from the Eye-patch lady.) ╟─ Treasury Tag ► ballotbox ─╢ 07:35, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The tag was applied to the fact that the doctor is checking, for the third time, to see if Amy is pregnant. But I still agree with you. – anemone projectors – 11:59, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll admit I counted, firstly from memory but then by also checking the previous 4 articles. I didn't believe it would be contested (not much margin of error) and I've found no sources as of yet. I appreciate your support TreasuryTag and agree there are so many things submitted here and on the rest of Wikipedia that have to be left to common sense. Peteb16 (talk) 14:09, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, although I'm in two minds as to whether the Eye Patch Lady needs a mention in continuity every time she appears. Perhaps once she has a more substantial role in an episode we should leave it to that article and Day of the Moon, with both mentioning the other episodes she appears in as well?

 * (Back after a few days) ... TT, I don't think you are making a fair comparison. When counting episodes, you can refer to a sourced list of episodes and count them. In this case you can say that an event happened at these times in the episodes; if challeged you could list them. It's far more difficult to say it didn't happen at any other time; this requires care looking at the source. For example, would you view counting how many times a phrase appears in book original research?
 * However, I'm not too worried in this case, but is it being the third time really signifcant? Surely that it is a recurring theme is what we are trying to express here. Edgepedia (talk) 06:13, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

The Flesh
Should the Flesh have its own page, given the prominance within this two part story (especially towards the end of the second part)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.10.231.64 (talk) 18:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * List of Doctor Who creatures and aliens should be adequate for now. DonQuixote (talk) 02:01, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Just curious here...
In terms of Plot: In this Episode the Doctor is VERY concerned about these Gangers being Living Entities obviously worthy of his Protection and yet at the end of the episode he quite callously destroys one that thinks it's Amy. Shouldn't this contradiction be commented on, or at least mentioned in the Plot Synopsis?
