Christmas in January

[tysolna]

I can't wipe the grin off my face, because I am having a late Christmas. The mail arrived intact, and it is watchable. Thank you, ladyjillian, I owe you!

Edit: It was well worth the wait - fantastic!

Pilot fish. I thought it was all explained quite well?

oops sorry, forgot to log in with that last comment.


Oh, did I mention that I bought eight BBC Who novels at half-price from Forbidden Planet yesterday? ;) I just love stacking up trouble, don't I. ;)

Yeah, pilot fish, sorry. Still, they serve no real purpose, and why were they dressed as Santas? How long have they been observing Earth, then?

The energy the Doctor was exuding (regeneration energy, possibly combined with the last of the vortex energy leaving him?) attracted the Sycorax to Earth. But the pilot fish parasiting of the Sycorax were also drawn to the energy. They reached the Earth just ahead of the Sycorax ship and used a disguise when they arrived, locking on to the prevailing cultural event of the time - Christmas. The TARDIS has a chameleon circuit - the pilot fish must operate along similar lines, the better to reach their target relatively undetected.

Uh huh... and the pilot fish just happen to have the same transporter beam technology as the Sycorax. Also, I wish I knew what they looked like under their metal masks. Come to think of it, one of them was ... killed, for want of a non-spoilery word, was he left there? To be found by UNIT?

*L* I see an interesting discussion ahead!

Possibly the poilot fish aren't parasitical . . but symbiotic, and share some things with the Sycorax. Come on, this is sci-fi!

Being sci-fi is no excuse! *eg*
