Talk:Terminus (Doctor Who)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
#Here, Event One refers to the Big Bang. However, in the Fifth Doctor serial Castrovalva, Event One is taken to refer to the creation of the Galaxy, not the universe.

I though Castrovalva was clear that Event One - the hydrogen outrush (seen as an inrush by travelling backwards in time) was clearly meant to be the creation of the universe. Timrollpickering 23:32, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- No - the dialogue very explicitly refers to the creation of the Galaxy. I was as surprised as anyone when I watched it again and heard it stated as such. -khaosworks 04:22, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Althooooough . . . I think that was probably just some slightly sloppy writing--that's not the first time I've seen "galaxy" misused as a synonym for "universe." Iralith (talk) 19:45, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
- Wouldn't be the first time. The show does tend to use these terms interchangeably, and in the early years, they also used "solar system" synonymously with both galaxy AND universe, furthering the confusion. I'm definitely thinking both refer to the Big Bang; the "Event One" in Castrovalva was described as "the biggest explosion in history" - which would imply Big Bang - as opposed to the development of a galaxy or a solar system which are relatively peaceful events.
