Talk:Akhaten
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Star or planet?
At the beginning of the episode, doesn't the Doctor refer to it as a planet? Ensephylon ☎ 16:17, April 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Wasn't that him referring to Sung Sings of Akhet not this astronomical body.
- Your question still remains, I'm not sure if it's referred to as a planet or a star. It looks and behaves like a planet (like a gas giant) but also glows like a star. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:53, April 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, but he called the Sung Sings of Akhet "seven worlds all surrounding one sun," therefore they're a solar system, not a planet. So what was he calling a planet...?

At the start he says the illumination is from an 'alien sun'. He is referring to Akhaten; besides, the surface and atmosphere of the star reflect that of a star, not a planet (e.g. boiling mist, corona).
The doctor said that while it could feed on what had been, it could get much "fuller" on what could have been. Does this mean it's part of the trickster's brigade?
