At least he was in communication with the set designers, since they designed the interfaces (buttons, panels, etc.) to be accessible to people with hooves for hands.
What got me was why did the tardis "run away". At the end the doctor says if the robot runs out of time the tardis (being a time machine) would know. So it would know at the "beginning of the episode". So why run away?
Bc time is always in flux, constantly changing, and only in that moment was there certainty for the robot detonating the ship in time Edit: also just another thought, if the tardis was there the entire time it would’ve still been in the midst of hostile action, and therefore could’ve altered the outcome of the episode, allowing the ‘No-things’ to successfully escape in the tardis as perfect copies of the doctor and Donna. So the tardis could only return in that particular moment
True, it worked very differently than it did in Cold War where the HADS made it disappear until after the plot had resolved. And unreliably, at the opposite pole of the planet.
It would be slow but most of the stuff under the skin, especially inside the suit, would survive and with nothing to attach to the skin would flake away.
Maybe her skin was slowly removed by the years of knocking against the ship and in the gravity well, just widdling it down as it was iced up and just brittle. Real reason is that the prop guy was given an easy job to make an dead alien captain
More to the point, we see in the climax that the self destruct system is activated by a stereotypical great big threatening button (which, this time, must be pressed), so if she was prepared to die in order to stop the not-things why didn't she just skip the arbitrary countdown and press the great big threatening button herself.
it makes sense because if his dad had married someone else it who was black or mixed race the timeline changes and thus true alternatives universe because in our universe he married a white woman. The is even a timeline where his dad when monk or gay and he was never born. it's
This was probably more an artistic decision than a scientific one. A frozen, bloated alien corpse with pieces of flesh missing from where they were shattered and broke off after repeatedly bumping into the haul of the ship sounds a bit gruesome for Dr. Who. I could see it fitting perfectly into the Alien franchise, though.
Honestly after seeing a post on Instagram, I'm convinced that Tennant is a clone himself like Also dispute what some might say, this was definitely the best episode out of the 3 specials and Christmas special, but that definitely isn't saying that much
It would be massively freazing out there so I'm assuming all the cells with water in them exploded when she was exposed to the vacuum not sure on the real science of it though 🤷🏼♂️
Stop it, with the spoilsport attempts to nerd rationalize every aspect of Doctor Who. It has NEVER been a pure sci-fi program. Which, frankly, is why it’s so loved. It utilizes an escapist, sci-fi construct as a vehicle to explore human relationships, weaknesses, strengths, hopes, fears, joy and pain from a safe distance away from present reality for the audience. The show is part science fiction and part fantasy, but all in the service of exploring the human condition, past, present and future. In not allowing itself to be constrained to a purely sci-fi genre gives the six decades, and still running, show that much broader of a story telling palette. Providing the basis for why the series is still so popular 60 years decades from its start.
Having vashta narada at the edge of the universe would be an awesome idea for another episode maybe explaining them a bit more
I was just about to say that
"or maybe it doesn't matter anyway"
Tom Baker, Day of the Doctor
So the problem is NOT that it didn't make sense... Just that it didn't explicitly explain a trivial detail?
I agree with the vashta Narada idea as the skeleton is very reminiscent of the bones from silence in the library and Forrest of the dead
I mean… you’d think so, they’re bones
My brother also had that thought and my bet is she probably didn’t have any skin or the vashta narada are out there
Why shes really a skeleton
Prop guy: we need a dead alien? Just put a horse skeleton in a space suit its fine
At least he was in communication with the set designers, since they designed the interfaces (buttons, panels, etc.) to be accessible to people with hooves for hands.
Ngl when I saw the thumbnail for this short I thought it was gonna be about ‘mavity’
"mavity" doesnt make sense seeing as "gravity" came from the latin word "gravitas"
@@10_MILES_HIGH_Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey. Deal with it.
@@10_MILES_HIGH_ Mavitas
I thought it would be about the race of Issac since he’s white in real life
@@Goldenwhitewings Something tells me if the actor was playing an Indian man you'd have no issue with it
Mabey she never had skin in the first place

It left because the time the episode took place in was still considered dangerous so she knew to come back after when it was safe again

The idea of bacteria that could actually survive in space is an interesting one 😮
It would be slow but most of the stuff under the skin, especially inside the suit, would survive and with nothing to attach to the skin would flake away.
Now, you might think that's a hell of a long time...
Personally, I think that's one hell of a bird.
This is eeexactly what I thought when I saw it.

Maybe she was eaten by the not things
I hate that Gravity is now known as Mavity...
What's gravity?
@@michaelbeadle5156 They're just trolling, "gravity" isn't a real word.
Whats that?...
Stop making up mavity stories
Can these people replying to this comment fuck the fuck off?!
This is EXACTLY what I thought when that moment happened.

What makes you think she wasn't made of Bones she's an alien
All living things have bones.
maybe it's Maybelline
Literally Among Us.
Its funny because i can think of at least 12 reasons why that could make sense but isacc newton changing ethnicity on a whim im stumped

No sunlight= vashta narada
Maybe that's how they look species match😅

I know, right?! I can't wait until RTD fucks off again, but he'll probably kill the show in interim.
It can't be the Vashta Nerada, they live in the forests
Vashta narada
MAVITY!
Or the creatures at the edge of the universe ate her?
It would be massively freazing out there so I'm assuming all the cells with water in them exploded when she was exposed to the vacuum not sure on the real science of it though 🤷🏼♂️
Who says their head had skin? Maybe it looks like that when they are alive.
Of course Doctor Who doesnt make sense.... it's Doctor Who.
Out of all of the massive plot holes and continuity errors, this seems a bit pedantic
Why do you assume her body decayed? Maybe she looked like a skeleton even when she was alive.
It's an alien that we never saw, so who knows?
Literally EVERYTHING from the three special episodes makes NO canonical sense...and the new Doctor episodes will probably be EVEN WORSE!
No one said that it decayed
What doesn’t make sense is how the captain’s corpse didn’t reanimate itself to lecture the Doctor for assuming her gender.
Its Doctor who it ain't that deep.

Idk she's an alian
MAYBE it's just called special effects and movie magic.
This is the new stuff though, the new episodes are crap
Maybe just chill out
Maybe you’re thinking to much of it
RTD is a terrible writer
