:Thanks for adding the table, Henry. However, there are a lot of things wrong there, which I wanted to discuss before just changing it: | |||
:*There's no evidence the Spitfires were Mark IXs. They never specified it on-screen, and the model appeared to be based on (according to a friend of mine who's a WWII aviation buff) a post-war modification of the Mk III as a training plane. | |||
:*Are you sure there were 9 Spitfires? People counted 9 Stukas and 9 barrage balloons, but there were clearly 12 and 7 of those. | |||
:*Father Octavian doesn't work for FaS, which should have 7s. | |||
:*76 Trotters Lane is a hell of a stretch for a 6. And the argument that VoV is both 7 and 6 because FaS "missed" 7 is beyond silly, especially when you already have a 7 for FaS, and the other two-parter doesn't work that way. | |||
:*Calvierri has the Roman numerals for 56 (LVI). Yes, there is a 6 in there, but it's just as much of a stretch as there being a 6 in Arabic 76. | |||
:*There were at least 4 deaths in Cold Blood: Alaya, Restac, Malokeh, and Rory. | |||
:Also, part of the theory is that there are countdowns in most of the episodes, as well as the meta-countdown across episodes, so I think there should be another column listing the countdowns in each episode. | |||
:It also might be worth having a separate column for countdowns in names specifically. Yes, I realize they aren't in every episode, but, as I already mentioned, both Smith and Moffat said "most episodes", not "every episode". --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 13:19, June 14, 2010 (UTC) | |||
