Talk:Somerville, Victoria

message: Somerville is not a part of greater Melbourne and therefore cannot be a suburb of it.
: It is part of the Shire of Mornington Peninsula, which according to both Local Government Victoria and the ABS is part of Greater Melbourne (as is the Shire of Cardinia which takes in areas as far away as Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang) - I personally disagree with the definition, however, there is no other verifiable way to define Melbourne (it's the problem of our eternally sprawling and expanding cities - I'm from Perth which keeps having arguments about whether Rockingham and Mandurah, a similar distance away as Somerville, should be counted - DLG counts Rockingham but not Mandurah even though there's no separation.)

message: Wowee! Somebody sure loved this episode, with all the plot description! (I guess it's because the Doctor goes into space. I don't think it's because of Jo Grant.) But it's not in ordinary paragraph form. --Sobolewski 20:30, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tighten it up, Please 

message: Jo has long been one of my favorite Companions because she is spunky from the beginning.  So her reaction to the Tardis and traveling in space-time in this episode was something of a surprise.  From the moment the Tardis door closes until well into their exploration of the planet, she begs the Doctor to take her home.  (I haven't seen all the episodes yet so I don't know when/if she is converted.)

Talk:The Time Monster

message: There's a claim made that the Tardis Interior appears here for the only time this series, which is nonsense. Much of the first episode of "Curse of Peladon" is set in the Tardis control room. I've therefore deleted the claim.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.240.128 (talk) 08:21, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, but you're wrong about the opening episode of The Curse of Peladon, at least to some extent. I know that our synopsis there indicates a brief conversation between the Doctor and Jo before they step out of the TARDIS, but I am quite clear it's actually after. The TARDIS materializes on a cliff edge (a very miniature prop on a miniature set), our leads emerge  (I think we first see them already inside the cave system that allows them access to the city above, but maybe not) with Jo then complaining about her date with Mike. However, even if I'm wrong (speaking only hypothetically) it is by no means "Much of the first episode". I'll check my The Complete Third Doctor and other Doctor Who Magazine back issues, but in the meantime anybody else want to dispute this? --Tbrittreid (talk) 21:15, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, since song melodies are considered to be distinct works of art, yes, that's a copyvio. (Also, listing the entirety of a song's lyrics and chords is not awfully encyclopedic, so even if it wasn't a copyright violation, it might not be very appropriate to include them in Wikipedia.) -- Captain Disdain 08:13, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:The Monster of Peladon

message: Just like to point out that it's a cliche rather than a direct link between Star Wars and Doctor Who.  I mean, older movies have used this scenario -- e.g. two man face a tiger and one screams and runs away only to be mauled by said tiger.  It's a tenuous link, so unless we have someone like Lucas saying that he based the scene on the scene from this show, then we should leave it out.  (BTW, tenuous means "thin" and not "broken".)

thread_title:  Screaming guy being mauled by monster 

message: Watching this one for the first time recently via Retro TV, I was so struck by the essential resemblance of the wheezing, helmet-headed commander of the Ice Warriors to Darth Vader that I eagerly watched for the serial's copyright date to tell me which character could have "inspired" which. Maybe just coincidence, of course, but it is hard to imagine that none of the folks working on the development of Star Wars in the mid-1970s was watching when The Monster of Peladon first aired in 1974. Yet I can find no mention of this screamingly obvious possible "inspiration" in any of the Peladon serial articles or in the Ice Warrior article.

One must not confuse language with ethnicity. Iyengars, Iyers are Indo aryans though they speak tamil. Coorgis are not dravidians though they speak coorgi which is a dravidian language.
