About that comment made at 5:30 where the “canon” of this is mentioned. Personally, I’ve never believed in the idea of things, “not counting, being “non-canon,” or being shunted off into alternate continuities when it comes to Doctor Who, because doing that does not seem like the spirit of the show. How can it be? For one, it’s always good to hint that the world of Doctor Who is bigger and stranger than people realize. I believe in alternate timelines, a concept presented in stories such as Day of the Daleks, but not alternate continuities, which I feel is a separate matter. Yes, Doctor Who’s narrative is wild, messy, mind-bogglingly weird, colorful, slightly inconsistent, but universe-encompassingly inclusive. I believe that a novel is just as worthy of being part of the Doctor Who series and having the words “Doctor Who” on it as a television episode is, while also being equally valid with each other within the overall narrative. Anyone who’s against that seems to be missing the point and the enjoyment of it all.
I’m not attempting to bad-mouth anyone who goes about their time deeming certain Doctor Who stories to be unworthy of being apart of the overall narrative, and I can’t stop people from doing that as they have the free will to do that, but I at least want my perspective of why I don’t believe in not counting things to be made known, which I just did. Thanks for reading. 🙂
