Oh, and what was the message on the psychic paper in TEH? Just another repeat of "Prisoner Zere has Escaped?" Wouldn't that be a bit redundant? | Oh, and what was the message on the psychic paper in TEH? Just another repeat of "Prisoner Zere has Escaped?" Wouldn't that be a bit redundant? | ||
It seems to me there's quite a few things pointing to the Alliance being unreal, some of which had already been mentioned: | |||
* Really? The Daleks imprison the Doctor instead of exterminating? In the past, they've shown difficulty in following orders when told to keep him alive, a compulsion to kill. | |||
* Pretty much the same statement about the Cybermen, who have refused his surrender in the past and had to drop a one-liner before killing him which saves his backside. | |||
* Too many different enemies, just too many. How would they all have found one another anyway? | |||
* Too many useless enemies, like Weevils and Hoix and a few other really, really dumb species that I can't think of offhand. I mean, who had the idea to bring these guys into the mix, and would they even be capable of understanding the danger? And how do these kind of "dumb animal" aliens manage to stand still for so long? | |||
* Too many enemies that are NOT useless, but still don't seem to belong -- Silurian and (I forgot the name, starts with "Dh" I think) the female warrior race from a 1965 story. | |||
* The "formation" of the enemies felt too posed, even for a fanboy-esque fiction, and the music just oozed a "not real" mood. | |||
I don't know if it's all Nestene as suggested above or some sort of "Amy's Universe" thing going on (everything ends and Silence falls at moment of her death, after all) but the more I watch it (twice full and caught the ending a third time) the more I feel like the Alliance just can't be real.
