Looking under the Bed

the doctor saying about not looking under 12 year old Kazran's bed is clearly a reference to him having dirty magazines not the Clockwork Robots since he said 'okay, you're 12 we won't look under your bed'

That's what I thought when I watched it too. Geek Mythology 11:38, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

The only dirty magazines here are in your head. The reference was to monsters under the bed - a fear most children have. 22:10, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
False. The Doctor said that HE wouldn't look under the boy's bed. He didn't tell the boy not to look under the bed. I've removed the incorrect reference. MrItty 00:53, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Fog Fish

Just out of curiosity, and i'm not sure if they were properly named in the episode, but is anyone up for nicknaming the species of fish as Fog Fish? i thought it would be a pretty nice idea. Rawrgoaway 22:45, December 25, 2010 (UTC)

  • Did anyone else get the weird feeling they might be some kind of enormous, tame version of the Vashta Nerada? (Especially as the Doctor reacted to clearly invisible/too-small-to-see things biting him). --Witoki 07:20, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Seriously, where do you people come from?--Skittles the hog 18:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

The Biggest Question of All

Did the Doctor actually rewrite any of Kazran's life? Or did his appearance simply "jog his memory", and the Doctor wove this into an elaborate lie to trick him into thinking his memories were being rewritten? --Witoki 07:20, December 26, 2010 (UTC)


With the second biggest being... with the sonic broken and half in the shark, does this mean they try to sell us ANOTHER new Sonic Screwdriver? Lmb02 08:57, December 26, 2010 (UTC)


They better not! I just bought the prop remakes for the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor's sonics, and I'm not ready to buy anymore! But yes, I think they might, I made the change in Sonic screwdriver about the Mark VII being destroyed in the episode. TheTARDIScontroller 08:50, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

I seem to remember the Tenth doctor's screwdriver being broken and he makes another one exactly the same, can't remember which episode though. Geek Mythology 11:38, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

This was 'Silence in the Library' wasnt it?

I'm hoping he either retrieved one half from Abigail at the end and let it repair itself after somehow retrieving the other half from the shark, or has an identical replacement from the TARDIS. ProtoKun7 18:27, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

The Tenth Doctor overloaded his screwdriver in 'Smith And Jones'.Zodisgod 21:56, December 26, 2010 (UTC)


Didn't River tell the 10th to "Use the Red Setting", and he replied that it didn't have a Red Setting? Seeing as how the 11th's original was green, I'm thinking he has to get a new one that has a Red Setting eventually.... MrItty 00:55, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

The Cratchitt Family

Am I the only thinking that in the many decades between Sardick being a young man and Michael Gambon, Abigail's family just didn't age at all??? Geek Mythology 11:38, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Plot Finishing

I just tidied up a pretty shockingly written plot summary however it seems to stop at the apperance of the shark. I can tidy but I can't write so thats where Ill stop untill someone can put something up.

Isomorphic controls

Any thoughts on why the Doctor claimed isomorphic controls didn't exist, even after the Master's laser screwdriver had them installed? Maybe just him being him. ProtoKun7 18:32, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

He didn't claim they didn't exist. He was just trying to look smug by saying Kazran did not have such technology. He has stated that isomorphic exists himself on occasion. (DW: Pyramids of Mars, The Daleks)--Skittles the hog 19:01, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Companions

Does Kazran count as a one-off companion, or no? Thricewise 01:53, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
