- Second that, the 'super cruiser' which appeared in The Trial of a Time Lord, according to The Eight Doctors was called Space Station Zenobia. In either the Eight Doctors or another book it's stated that it was the time scoop which moved the entire Sol System.
- Also, isn't the Magnetron something that the Daleks use in Day of the Daleks? --Tangerineduel 09:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- That'd be the Time Vortex Magnetron. But I agree that this sounds iffy. The exact nature of the Magnetron used to move Earth isn't gone into on screen so at the very least this needs some more sources ascribing to it.
- However if the TV show says it was the Magnetron (and it does), that's the version we must take as 'true'... talk of time scoops etc (that'd be one hell of a floaty black obelisk thingy!) must be considered apocryphal. --218.219.239.73 13:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oops forgot I wasn't logged in just then. Sorry. --Gai-jin 13:46, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well where ever it's mentioned, I'm pretty sure it's a Terrance Dicks novel...littered with continuity references.
- The Time Scoop's more of a black triangle than an obelisk thing, or it's a swirly thing if you're watching the special edition.
- I won't dispute the magnetron bit (if we're sure), but what about the supercruiser bit, I'm pretty sure that wasn't mentioned in the Trial. --Tangerineduel 14:44, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
