(First watched 2024-04-26, ) A future Earth where space travel was abandoned once T-Mat (transporter) technology allowed fast travel of goods and services around the world and even to the moon. I kept wondering what Zoe thought about this, but it wasn't addressed. The specific times of these future Earths are often left vague, but she was from a future where there were space stations and distant craft traveling around. So should this be the past for her, just one she was ignorant about even though she's so full of information? Doesn't seem it could be the future for her, I don't think _interstellar_ travel would be abandoned just because of the T-Mat. Also it seems a relatively near future since the engineers who worked on rocket travel are still around. | (First watched 2024-04-26, -28, -30, -5-01, -02, ) A future Earth where space travel was abandoned once T-Mat (transporter) technology allowed fast travel of goods and services around the world and even to the moon.

Not the first time I've seen this sort of thing in fiction, but it's pretty unbelievable how the One Guy who was still stuck on rocket technology has apparently been building a new model rocket on his own and keeping it mostly secret. This just isn't the sort of thing any hobbyist can do. A hobbyist with billions of dollars who forms a company of thousands working on their goal? That's a different story. | Not the first time I've seen this sort of thing in fiction, but it's pretty unbelievable how the One Guy who was still stuck on rocket technology has apparently been building a new model rocket on his own and keeping it mostly secret.

And the Ice Warriors again. The last time we saw them was on... yet another future Earth, that apparently didn't have much space travel going on or it would've been a bigger help against extinction when it came to that ice age. Future Earth, pick a lane! | And the Ice Warriors again.

In the modern show the Doctor uses psychic paper to help convince people he's someone in authority or someone who can be trusted, but do we have to headcanon that back in these days the TARDIS was performing a similar task psychically? Because for there to be a worldwide disaster on a necessary transportation system, and only one rocket to attempt a rescue/repair mission... they send the three mysterious visitors they'd find no record of if they bothered to check? | |||
So the seeds of death finally show up, with the Ice Warriors spreading a fungus to uhhh... partially Marsform the planet. But the weakness of the fungus is... water? The most common thing on the planet? In the movie Signs I excuse a similar thing because conveying a realistically dangerous alien invasion really wasn't the point, but in a six episode serial all about such an invasion, it seems a goofier weakness. | |||
