Talk:Slitheen

message: Surely they're not humanoid? Large, green masses of living calcium with huge eyes, two-pronged claws and so on?-->Energy (talk) 05:41, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. Well, two arms, two legs, a head, a body, walk upright... that's humanoid by my standards. If you'd prefer, I'll change it to massive and bipedal. --khaosworks 06:20, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I think that would be better.-->Energy (talk) 12:38, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Humanoid? 

message: One of the Raxacoricofallapatorian methods of execution is the lowering of the condemned into a cauldron of acetic acid, which is then heated to boiling. The acidity of the solution is formulated to dissolve the skin, allowing the internal organs to drop into the liquid while the condemned is still alive, resulting in a slow and painful death.
This method came from Boom Town, which Margaret stated. She was pleading for her life. She might have made up a gruesome death penalty to convince the Doctor that he should let her live. Should this really be in the article, as it may not be true? It's... Thelb4! 16:02, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see any reason to doubt her word, nor does the Doctor doubt it. The way it's performed and directed does not suggest deception, either. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 16:24, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Death penalty 

message: In the Aliens of London story the Slitheen seem to be 'connected' in some way.  When one dies, the others can sense it.  When one gets zapped, the others get zapped as well.  Obviously, this isn't a group mind - partly I just thought my obvious misuse of the term in the heading would grab your attention ;) - but I don't know what to call it.  Are there any sci-fi aficionados who can suggest a more appropriate term?  I think this is notable, but I just can't put it into encyclopaedic writing. RobbieG 19:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's actually already in the article: "...can sense when one of their own dies." --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 23:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Slitheen group mind? 

message: I seem to remember there being slightly more information about the nature of slitheen reproduction and family relations in Boom Town, is there anything missing here? Ammi 11:51, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really. "Margaret" talks about being forced to kill at an early age, and we see that they come from eggs and are kept in hatcheries. That's all in the first couple of paragraphs of the article. The only minor detail I can think of is that it is vaguely implied that the Raxicoricofallapatorians pick their children from the hatcheries rather than raise the ones they birth themselves (the Doctor seems to think that another, less criminal family will adopt the Margaret egg), but it's really an inference, and might be stretching it a bit into speculative. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 13:01, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hatching 

message: Article as reads this moment: Raxacoricofallapatorians also know as CREEPYS have a greenish tint to their skin and they are marrying mo'nique.. so basically... see you at the wedding, and are eight feet tall with long forearms that end in powerful claws.
So, um... mo'nique? I don't know if this is relevant to the article or not, so I posted instead of brashly deleting it. 75.51.0.143 08:46, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vandalism? 

message: Why is there a Child Slitheen picture in the infobox? Wouldn't it make more sense to have an adult?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.48.236 (talk) 20:11, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture in infobox 

message: As the Slitheen are simply a family, and races are really more suitable, especially seeing as we've seen the other family, Blathereen in both the novel The Monsters Inside and the Sarah Jane Adventures episode "The Gift", I think this page should definitely be moved to the title Raxacoricofallapatorian, and for Blathereen to be merged with it.

replies: text: While true, they are commonly referred to as 'Slitheen', and we use common names for article titles.  — Edokter • Talk •  23:26, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, the most commonly used term is still Slitheen. Also, the characters in 'The Gift' are from an intermarriage of Slitheen-Blathereen, not simply Blathereen.--Jeffro77 (talk) 13:11, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Slitheen should be moved to Raxacoricofallapatorian 

message: I've added a Production and Reception section to the article, among a few other small edits. I feel as though the appearances section could be trimmed in terms of the references to their cameo appearances, but I don't wish to remove it entirely for the time being. 
Another thing is that while sourcing the article, the sources wound up below the infoboxes. I'm not sure how to fix that, so if a more experienced editor is capable of fixing that problem, I'd greatly appreciate it. Sorry for the inconvenience in advance.
