Talk:Killer petal

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Fairy petals[[edit source]]

Is it possible that these "killer petals" would be the same, or connected to, the petals that the fairies stuffed in their victims' mouths/lungs in the Torchwood episode Small Worlds? --DCLM 12:53, November 5, 2016 (UTC)

If neither story says so, then we can't say so on the article or its talk page. (Tardis:Discussion policy) Shambala108 22:37, November 5, 2016 (UTC)

Thousands time in a day[[edit source]]

I don't believe this number was ever given in the episode and two in power of thousand is an awfully large number. Unless someone remember this exact line, maybe it should be rewritten? --Glucharina 19:16, November 5, 2016 (UTC)

An awfully large number? They are all across London and comments were made saying that soon there'd be so many that people would start to be suffocated by them. I think "thousands" is actually a tiny amount compared to what we're being told, I'd think more along the line of millions of petals. --Xx-connor-xX 19:52, November 5, 2016 (UTC)

If a petal doubles 1000 times, the number gets so big, it has to use different notations. They definitely didn't double thousand times --Glucharina 19:55, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Each petal is doubling, not just one. We've only seen a tiny part of London and already the streets are covered with them. --Xx-connor-xX 19:57, November 5, 2016 (UTC)

What was the basis of the rename?[[edit source]]

I originally titled this article as "Killer petals" but it has since been renamed as "Killer petal". I don't understand this change as the name would suggest that the article is talking about one single petal rather than the large quantity that we've seen. --Xx-connor-xX 19:52, November 5, 2016 (UTC)

Tardis:Naming conventions - article names are generally singular. While there are a few exceptions, given that you started the article with the phrase "a killer petal" means it is not one of the exceptions. Shambala108 22:36, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
I started the article like that to explain how a single petal had acted alone as it traveled to Earth before it began multiplying. --Xx-connor-xX 23:41, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
I suggest you read Tardis:Naming conventions. Shambala108 23:43, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


Name[[edit source]]

They are actually referred to as "the Petals" in the story. Yeah, it's me "Denchen"... I couldn't believe it either. 19:52, November 14, 2016 (UTC)
