Biology
The Rhodia planet that is shown is obviously one that April imagines and we don't know how it looks like. The "real" appearance is also something that April imagines, and not the actual appearance. Also, it's not stated explicitly whether the Rhodia and the Quill are really different species or different nations of the same species. JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 01:30, October 23, 2016 (UTC)
- And how do you know that?? As I see it, we see Charlie's vision of the planet. And if they are the same species, why is that never mentioned? It's the same as Earth being inhabited by different species. --DCLM ☎ 18:26, October 23, 2016 (UTC)
- It's not mentioned that they're different species either. For now, they could either be different species or nations. And we clearly see that it's how April imagines the planet, there's a close-up on her when we see the flashbacks and we see people with school uniforms etc. JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 01:15, October 24, 2016 (UTC)
The Rhodia
The subtitles confirm that the species is the Rhodia and not Rhodian. We need a name change. --90.197.224.187talk to me 14:18, October 23, 2016 (UTC)
- Well... that is a bit tricky. Because both versions are used. Charlie and Quill says "Rhodia", but the Doctor says "Rhodian". Are we to assume that (speaking strictly about the species) that these two are interchangable, like "cycle" and "bicycle"? --DCLM ☎ 18:31, October 23, 2016 (UTC)
- I'd argue Rhodia (species) should be a redirect, and another valid way to refer to them collectively throughout the wiki. I agree that Rhodian should remain the title of this page, as it offers the greatest distinction, and both the Doctor and an actual Rhodian use it within the narrative.
- Note that "a Rhodia" is never a construction used, and should be considered incorrect. "The Rhodia"/"The Rhodians"/"A Rhodian" are all valid.
