Howling:Utopia question
In the episode Utopia, a big deal was made about how the rocket at Silo 16 was the only thing that could get the human refugees off the planet and on their way to Utopia. But in order to land on the planet in the first place, they must have had some form of interplanetary transport; why couldn't they just use that to reach Utopia? 82.2.136.93talk to me 22:31, February 16, 2012 (UTC)
- They never said when the humans got to Malcassairo; it could have been hundreds or thousands of years ago. Any spaceship that brought them there could have broken down ages ago. -<Azes13 talk to me 22:49, February 16, 2012 (UTC)
It could also be something along the lines of they didn't have enough conventional fuel to power their other interstellar ships for a journey long enough to get to Utopia, which is why Yana had to design a new type of engine. We don't know how far away Utopia supposedly was, but seeing as Earth had gone through dozens of great and bountiful empires and galactic federations and whatever else over billions and billions of years and never found it before, it is likely that Utopia was supposedly very far away.Icecreamdif talk to me 05:33, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
The man whom the Doctor, Martha and Jack meet in the wilderness being chased by the Futurekind seems to have only just arrived on the planet, as he says something about having followed his family there. 194.168.208.42talk to me 10:44, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
It's possible that he was on another part of the planet, but I also always assumed that he'd only just arrived on the planet.Icecreamdif talk to me 16:09, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
Exactly. And therein lies the problem. 82.2.136.93talk to me 20:26, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
