# Talk:The Reality War

The first line of Casting should be changed from
"The episode sees the departure of Ncuti Gatwa, Millie Gibson, and Varada Sethu in their roles as the fifteenth incarnation of The Doctor, Ruby Sunday, and Belinda Chandra, respectfully."
to
"The episode sees the departure of Millie Gibson, Varada Sethu, and Ncuti Gatwa in their roles as Ruby Sunday, Belinda Chandra, and the fifteenth incarnation of The Doctor, respectively."
This avoids an implication that the other characters also have a fifteenth incarnation, and fixes the typo of "respectfully" instead of "respectively". Tomanius222 (talk) 09:37, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

 Partly done: "Respectfully" has been changed to "respectively." I don't think the remainder of the sentence is unclear or needs to be changed. Day Creature (talk) 15:44, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

' … who he befriended while spending a year with. … "  should be " … with whom he befriended while spending an year."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.239.209 (talk) 06:36, 26 June 2025 (UTC) 

'a year' is correct over 'an year', because the y in this case is acting as a consonant and not a vowel ([1], [2]); no opinion on whether someone else implements the rest. TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:13, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

Could Stephen Kelly's review be summarised in the reception section? He also disliked the Poppy subplot and the use of Anita (Steph de Whalley). I also don't know if the following two sources can be used, especially as the second one is a bit preachey. :) 78.150.15.34 (talk) 15:39, 26 June 2025 (UTC) https://comicsxf.com/2025/06/05/doctor-who-reality-war/ https://www.voicemag.uk/review/15257/doctor-who-the-reality-war-finale-review-and-why-it-leaves-a-bad-taste-spoilers

Just how irrelevant is the mention of the Zero Room?  It's an established device in Doctor Who that was introduced in "Castrovalva" and @Alex 21: wants it removed because of "Plot Bloat"?  It was practically only one word, and if that's how it is, why don't we just take "The Vindicator" and call it a special device? Yeah it's probably a name drop, but that's the name of the room they choose. You wanna talk about plot bloat, the whole episode and story is a mess in explanation!  The "Reality War" didn't end with this episode it started after the credits! Maxcardun (talk) 13:05, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Please discuss this calmly. The plot of this episode doesn't change with an additional two words; the meaning does not change with an in-universe term being included. Connecting it to Castrovalva is also unsourced trainspotting; that particular serial isn't even mentioned in this article. The Vindicator, however, is a recurring feature across almost every episode of this season. Your opinion on the episode's quality is also irrelevant to a discussion here, and is probably more welcomed at the TARDIS Wiki. -- Alex_21 TALK 22:46, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
Sadly this editor has canvassed another editor for a third opinion instead of doing it properly. Doug Weller talk 13:55, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
