Talk:Father's Day (Doctor Who)

message: At the end of the episode, is everything changed back to the way it was or are the dead people still dead?
:Dead people are alive again. We see Stuart's father coming out of the church, when he was eaten by a Reaper before.  But there are differences, as seen in the difference between Rose's flashback at the start and at the finish. --khaosworks 15:38, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
::And also obviously, the Doctor is now alive again.--Codenamecuckoo 18:58, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
The article spekulates about wether or not Rose and the Doctor remember the happenings of this episode. I think we can remove that, I think it's clear they do remember. At the end of the season, I think "The Parting of Ways" when Rose is stuck on earth with her mom, she tells her that the blonde woman holding her father's hand was Rose. --Mithcoriel (talk) 15:37, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

From Wikipedia:Verifiability:
:Articles should contain only material that has been published by reputable or credible sources, regardless of whether individual editors regard that material to be true or false. As counter-intuitive as it may seem, the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. For that reason, it is vital that editors rely on good sources.
I say:
Give a reputable or credible source that the character was pregnant with Adam. She isn't even given a surname. As to "how DARE I" - look on the Main Page 
:Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. 
So don't claim "newbie biting" when your own user page says you've been editing for two years.

thread_title:  Speculation 

message: Can someone explain this quote? PMA 15:06, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The saying is, "The past is another country." 1987 isn't that far away from the present, and probably a bit naff, so it's just the Isle of Wight. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Cornell thought 19 years ago isn't all that different? On the surface maybe but i can remember plenty of things that were there in 1987 where i lived that aren't there now (the metal slides at the playground, the milk bars, the State Bank of Victoria branch that is now a pizzeria, only non-pay TV, ciggarette companies sponsoring the cricket telecasts, Young Talent Time, high schools and technical schools not secondary colleges...)

replies: text: Well, nobody said it was a good metaphor. :) --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 16:31, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the implication was something along the lines of "going back to the time of the dinosaurs crosses lots of generations; the time gap between 2005 & 1987 isn't even one generation", just as going from London to Australia would cross loads of countries, but London to the Isle of Wight wouldn't even cross one. smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 19:58, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But the reference to "naff" could also apply to both 1987 and the Isle of Wight.  -- Beardo 02:30, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Isle of Wight

message: :The Doctor's line, "I've picked another stupid ape," may be a reference to the attempt by his former companion Barbara to alter the course of Aztec history during The Aztecs. It also may be a reference to Adam Mitchell, who attempted to use knowledge of the future to advance Earth technology in The Long Game.
Given that this is speculation but the second part actually happened in the previous episode, would it better to swap these two possibilities around? We have no evidence either way but in deciding the emphasis of the note I'd suggest the new series is more likely to be referencing itself than the classic series if this is intended as a reference. —Whouk (talk) 15:28, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've swapped it around, but I think the reason why the note was phrased the way it was is because of the Doctor saying "another stupid ape" in reference to Rose. A reading of that statement might seem to refer to someone before Rose, and Adam was picked up after. But it works either way. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:36, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stupid ape note 

message: This is the only 9th Doctor episode where he takes his jacket off, but I am not sure if it is notable enough to be mentioned in the article. Also, has anyone been able to tell if his shirt changes color? I noted in this episode that it is a light green color. (I hope that he had at least changes his shirt over the 13 episodes.)—Lady Aleena talk/contribs 15:38, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I think this entry should be added to the page:
===Trivia===
*This is the first time the exterior shell of the TARDIS has been shown by itself, rather than connected to its interior.
Is this information correct, and should it be added to the article on this episode?? --Promus Kaa 05:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is correct, and I've added it (slightly reworded) under "continuity".  Good idea! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

text: They didn't disappear because they saw each other, but because history was changed.  The original Doctor and Rose saw Pete die; when he lived, they couldn't have seen him die, so they stopped existing in that timeline. Gwinva 21:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Trivia

message: There are many points of similarity between this story and the Rogers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. Some of these are pretty unusual plot points making it seem to me like more than coincidence.
* Rose's father never makes a success of his life.
* Louise's father never makes a success of his life.
* Rose's father dies at a young age.
* Louise's father dies before her birth.
* Rose's father is given a last chance to visit his daughter briefly even after his death.
* Louise's father is given a last chance to visit his daughter briefly even after his death.
* Rose's father uses his brief extra time on Earth to redeem himself.
* Louise's father uses his brief extra time on Earth to redeem himself.
Anyone else noticed this?

thread_title:  Similarity to Carousel =

message: The Plot is written out of order, and it doesn't help to overall understand the story. I fixed a bit but I'm getting tired so i will continue to elaborate and switch the order a few paragraphs maybe, please check my work if I write something incorrect. Also I noted that in the episode the infant Rose had light blue eyes yet the older version had brown eyes... I don't know if that should be added in anywhere. Oh one last thing, I noticed this article doesn't have an official rating thingy, yet episode's like [Rose (Doctor Who)|Rose]] have Good article status. After its patched up a bit could someone help me find out requirements and get it reviewed for that.Betsi-HaP (talk) 06:17, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot & Good Article? 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Father's Day (Doctor Who)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "commentary":
From The Empty Child: 
From Aliens of London: Phil Collinson: DVD commentary for "Aliens of London"
From Doctor Who (series 5): 
From Army of Ghosts: 
From The Unquiet Dead: 
From Bad Wolf: 
From The Long Game: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 01:05, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
