Talk:Nightmare in Silver (TV story)

Discussion page

Reference

The whole serie setting is clearly a parody to WH40k universe: a midget emperor, planet exterminatus, fat low skill squads instead of space marines. The cybermen would be, hence, sort of the necrons. Should this be reflected in 'references' section? Btw, the 'cold war' have very strong allusions to 'alien' serie, too. 77.45.247.140talk to me 00:03, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

If you have a source from someone in production acknowledging this observation, you can add it. Otherwise it's just speculation. Shambala108 00:07, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
Do all out-of-the universe references and allusions need to have a production affirmation? I thought the section is there for people who like to notice that stuff. Anyway, adding anything to front page is not for me, as english is not my first language.
P.S. Btw, noticed one more: Porridge, the emperor, is '41st'.77.45.247.140talk to me 00:14, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

Cyber-mites

Is this the first appearance of cyber-mites? If so, should that be noted on the page? -- Whosethebestwho 09:21, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

Timeline

This episode takes place in the 26th or 27th century? --Zipacna1 09:13, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

"10 Rejects"

Re: "When describing the state of the neurons in the Doctor's brain, the Cyber-Planner says he has had 'ten rejects' in there." The iTunes closed captioning says "ten rejigs," a re-jig being a reconnection or overhaul of a system. That makes more sense (ten regenerations = ten overhauls) than "ten rejects." 68.10.78.188talk to me 15:18, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Closed captioning is not always accurate. It was "ten rejects." Whosethebestwho 11:17, May 17, 2013 (UTC)
Honestly, watching again it sounds like "rejigs" to me. -- Tybort (talk page) 14:30, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
The line is "10 complete re-jigs", he's speaking in the (attempted) northern accent, which has understandably been mis-heard by those adding subtitles/closed captions in regions where the northern English accents would be unfamiliar. On the subject of subtitles/closed captioning, yes they are generally not sold along with the program and are often added by a whole range of different companies in foreign territories with no uniform procedure - but this should not effect the subtitles that were put out with the original BBC broadcast - where they clearly state "re-jigs". To be honest, I've only ever heard numerous bad things about i-tunes subtitling anyway. Baziel 16:35, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Cyberiad

The fact that the Cybermen (Mondas) and Cybus Cybermen have combined forces is mentioned. It seems to me that this alliance is the aforementioned "Cyberiad". Should this be considered for a separate article on the Cyberiad? Ittchan 18:03, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

"Cowboys in here"

Surely this is Brit slang and not an actual, literal reference to previous times the Doctor has ridden a horse. (and if you're going to defend that interpretation at least add The Gunfighters (TV story))

The term is Brit slag meaning some rubbish builders has done some work A-Smk 00:10, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Imitating the Ninth and Tenth Doctors

We all miss Eccleston and Tennant and it's exciting to have the Ninth and Tenth Doctors referenced but it doesn't need to be in every section, does it? Not sure which is the most appropriate section.

The Bomb

I didn't see this referenced, but the bomb used to destroy the planet was almost identical to the cyber bomb used in Earthshock to destroy Earth. I'm thinking this should be referenced. Todd-sama 02:44, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Too Detailed?

I think whomever wrote the plot for this episode's Tardis Wikia entry got a bit carried away. It's too detailed and I see some parts where the writer/s lose their neutral tone (which should have been the observed standard). I propose a revision. Anyone else agree?

The page currently has no protections on it preventing editing. Edit away. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:29, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Too Borg-like?

The latest version of the this-universe Cybermen (as opposed to parallel universe originated ones) seems to be very Borg, with frequent adaptation ("upgrade in progress") instead of the old-style ones where you never saw them do the upgrades.

Is this current version more powerful than the Daleks now?
