[edit] References
- Tubal Cain has been demoted since he accidentally fired time torpedos over the Capitol.
- The events of the Black Sun War are referred to.
[edit] Notes
- In the Endgame trade paperback, Alan Barnes stated this was both meant to be a return to the strip's version of Gallifrey - "'our' Gallifrey, as opposed to the arcane Looms and Houses of the New Adventures" - and a large "US comics-style Event" to prelude the Doctor's fake regeneration.
- Part of the plot, including an entire chapter, were cut from the story. Barnes would go on to turn the visuals and ideas from that chapter into his audio drama Neverland.
- The idea of a fake regeneration and "Doctor" was proposed by Scott Gray to Gary Gillat in 1994. Gillatt remembered it in 1996, after the TV Movie, and decided the fake Doctor should resemble Nick Briggs' fan-audios Doctor, who had already been shown as a future Doctor in Party Animals.
[edit] Continuity
- The events of DWM: The Stockbridge Horror are referred to, and the High Evolutionaries of DWM: The Tides of Time appear.
- The Threshold's clients in DWM: Fire and Brimstone are retconned to be Rassilon and the Evolutionaries rather than the Time Lords, which will be elaborated on in DWM: Wormwood.
- Rassilon states he wrote the "principles of non-intervention". This clashes slightly with other stories.[source needed]
