Fairy petals[[edit source]]
Is it possible that these "killer petals" would be the same, or connected to, the petals that the fairies stuffed in their victims' mouths/lungs in the Torchwood episode Small Worlds? --DCLM ☎ 12:53, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
- If neither story says so, then we can't say so on the article or its talk page. (Tardis:Discussion policy) Shambala108 ☎ 22:37, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Thousands time in a day[[edit source]]
I don't believe this number was ever given in the episode and two in power of thousand is an awfully large number. Unless someone remember this exact line, maybe it should be rewritten? --Glucharina ☎ 19:16, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
An awfully large number? They are all across London and comments were made saying that soon there'd be so many that people would start to be suffocated by them. I think "thousands" is actually a tiny amount compared to what we're being told, I'd think more along the line of millions of petals. --Xx-connor-xX ☎ 19:52, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
- If a petal doubles 1000 times, the number gets so big, it has to use different notations. They definitely didn't double thousand times --Glucharina ☎ 19:55, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
- Each petal is doubling, not just one. We've only seen a tiny part of London and already the streets are covered with them. --Xx-connor-xX ☎ 19:57, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
What was the basis of the rename?[[edit source]]
