Is Sam anorexic?[edit]

Could she be the first of the Doctor's comopanions to suffer from the eating disorder? I mean, she is described in The Eight Doctors as being wiry and thin at length, and perhaps it's worth noting. NP Chilla 12:25, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

People can be thin without being anorexic. Is there anything that actually says she's anorexic? --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 13:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's been a couple of years since I read the novel The Eight Doctors, but I distinctly remember that the slimness of the girl was very much discussed at length during her introductory passage (a là The Doctor's garlic breath in World Game); and the Doctor Who Magazine Special: The Complete Eighth Doctor mentions, in a section by Matt Michael, that she is "Paper-thin", and gives the general impression that this could be a disorder of some sort. NP Chilla 16:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm, that's the problem. "General impression" is so subjective. I would really have to read the exact context to see how strong the implication is before I can offer an opinion either way. Failing that, I'd suggest erring on the conservative side of verifiability, i.e. don't mention it. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 16:48, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right. NP Chilla 20:30, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dark Sam[edit]

Dark Sam, whom he found living as a drug addict in a London bedsit.

ICBW, but my memory is that, while Dark Sam had drugs experience, she wasn't an addict. There was a key point in Unnatural History where her history changed so that she was, and she was very different from the "standard" Dark Sam. Daibhid C 22:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~I've checked, and I was right, so I'll just tweak that bit Daibhid C 13:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)~~ Ah, Kaosworks has already done it. Daibhid C 13:02, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
