Yeah, not the greatest tale (nor internally logical). But at least it was a tale, and not shouty-bang-flash. And I'm glad they've finally got Capaldi's Doctor. I'm with those who like the uni lecturer shtick. I'm also liking Bill calling him Grandad/Grandfather, and the reference to him leaving his charge on a lonely planet (or whatever the line was). It's nice they put in stuff to keep the old nerds happy.
The record had stuck, so the tune wasn't finished, delaying the inevitable. Maigret did explain that.
Especially since it all began 70 years ago. Why not 60 or 80?
And a lift.
So the space lice don't just respond to the high pitched noise, as claimed, but actual melody?
Exactly. So why would the lice need a song to be finished in order to finish consuming somebody?
Which eventually dies out. The sustain is not as long as a record repeating for a day or so.
I know my pop culture.
They didn't, the discordant repetition halted the process because it distracted the bugs,it was explained by the landlord just before he lifted the needle from the record.
He certainly knew a lot about who they ate, when and why for somebody that had only gone through it four times in 70 years.
Did the lousy acting bug you?
who'd notice?
I would imagine he worked it out after the first time it happened, perhaps the bugs communicate with him somehow.
Um. Wut?
...is the wrong answer!
well, you like it or you don't.
My memory is a bit hazy, but Spare Parts, Jubilee, and Davros are particularly good.
