message: I wrote that Tosh says, "I can't forget the things I've seen.  The things I've heard", but someone removed it.  In a move away from that, did anyone notice Jack's mention of squids?  Could we relate that to The Power of Kroll?--Stripey1 13:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Which "else" are you talking about? You should read the edit summaries; they normally have an explanation why the reverts take place (unless they're really obvious, like inaccurate info or something). The last edit of yours I reverted recently was the "Briscoes" in They Keep Killing Suzie, which is the wrong spelling. Earlier I removed your linking Tosh's talking about "everything she's heard" to The Unquiet Dead because the phrasing isn't even exact, and it's a bit of a stretch. Both edits were explained. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I can't help wondering if the Kubla Khanreference isn't referring to the the First Doctor and Marco Polo after all, but to Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency instead. The poem features heavily in the novel, which was written by a former DW script editor, and featured plot elements from "City of Death" and "Shada".  Like "Greeks Bearing Gifts", it was about an alien who had been stranded on Earth for a long time and was possessing and manipulating people in an attempt to escape.

message: I know somtimes they get the dates wrong on these bodies but because of how long the body was 'said' to be there for it suggests that the year is 2009, is this correct?--Wiggstar69 20:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Did anyone else think the soundbyte sounded familiar, when Tosh put on the pendant and everyone "spoke" at once?  I knew I'd heard it before.  The WWE used to use it as a "signature", that short bit that plays at the beginning.  The signature now is a vignette of match clips, but it used to be more animated and featured a bunch of people talking at once.  Torchwood only used the first half of the clip, and possibly looped it, likely sped it up, but I'd know it anywhere.  It's on one of their CDs that I have, and I used to play it on repeat and try to make out what was being said.  Never got anywhere with that.  There's no bona fide verification for it, but if you listen to the YouTube clip I linked after watching the episode, it's not hard to see the connection. NathanJ1979 (talk) 05:22, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

message: My thoughts on this sentence: "Toshiko's grandfather, a Japanese man, being able to work at Bletchley Park is inconsistent with both reality and her paranoia about being captured when transported to 1941 in "Captain Jack Harkness"." ; people have two grandfathers. one could have been persecuted and the other not. Or it could have been the same Grandfather. Being persecuted and being at Bletchley Park are not mutually exclusive. Ask Alan Turing. And as for reality, well... 108.52.65.237 (talk) 05:52, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Tosh's "pub quiz question" conversation with Jack references a minor Trojan War character, Philoctetes, who has his own wiki page. It's almost as if it was written before Wikipedia was well known. 
I'm not wasting my time putting it into the article, because some jerk would just revoke it, so do what you want with the information.
There's a continuity foul-up : Tosh swaps between red dress and lilac tee-shirt several times through the second day "at the office".
