Talk: 42nd century

Was it actually stated that 42 was set in the 42nd century? It was called "42" because of the minutes before impact with a distant sun, not because of the date. Plus, the sun (I can't remember its name) was said by the Doctor to be "on the other side of the universe" from Earth, and Humanity didn't even leave Mutter's Spiral until c. 5000, long after 4199.

I just rewrote the article...However I don't actually recall them stating what year it was. --Tangerineduel 06:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Neither do I, that's the point. I think it was just pre-broadcast speculation. BTW, if you can remember the name of that sun, it might make for a good article. I can only remember that it started with "T" and that it had some vowels in (of course). ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 07:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
