Nice reasoning, ANone, but the other question is how much of the design of the knock-off is dictated by the actualities of the universe and how much by cultural issues. | Nice reasoning, ANone, but the other question is how much of the design of the knock-off is dictated by the actualities of the universe and how much by cultural issues. An Otto engine's design is pretty much set by the physics and materials involved. The shape of the auto is not.

The central column is obviously reminiscent of the time rotors in the TARDIS and in the makeshift TARDIS of ''The Doctor's Wife'', although it's not identical to either. That, at least, is a candidate for the design being dictated by the nature of the job it has to do. The design of the exterior doesn't remind me of anything previously seen in the show. However, the coffin-shaped control panels around the central column do remind me of something I've seen before and I'm pretty sure it's something from ''Doctor Who''. The trouble is that I can't (so far) recall '''what '''they remind me of. I'm not even sure whether it's something in the revived series or something in the "classic" series. If I do remember what it is, I'll post it here. In the meantime, someone else might do a better/quicker job of remembering. --[[Special:Contributions/89.241.65.18|89.241.65.18]] 08:06, November 7, 2011 (UTC) | |||
