Talk:Planet of the Dead (TV story)

2009 or 2010?
I know we had an unfinished conversation three years ago. It can be found here. Unless it was brought up at the forums, there never seemed to be a consensus. I noticed that, at the moment, the setting in listed as 2010 in the infobox. The page itself says the following: So... If the decision was already made, please say so here and what the conclusion was. If we still haven't reached a conclusion, then we need to discuss it all over again.

 * This story refers to the events of when the Earth is transported to the Medusa Cascade that took place in May - June 2009, based on novel information, which would place it in 2010; however, controversy errupted with TV: The End of Time taking place on Christmas 2009, placing this story in Easter 2009, before the Medusa Cascade incident. Unfortunately, there are many reasons this story cannot take place after The End of Time, some of which are Naismith's status and the worldwide recession. The writers or producers have not addressed the dating issue. Some fans believe what date novels give should only be taken with a grain of salt if it disturbs on-screen continuity.


 * That isn't the only discussion concerning dating.

Theme song easter egg
Anonymous tip: Listen to the opening theme, the standard "1-2" drumbeat that's usually in the background has changed. Instead of the single drum, four drums in quick succession occur. Sound familiar? (I verified this on the DVD, listening to the theme that played on the menu and then the theme that played in the actual episode). I didn't edit it in myself since I'd rather other people double-checked before adding. This may or may not occur in other episodes too, I'm not sure.

I just watched Planet of the Dead on Netflix
Odd, because a few months ago I remember watching episodes on Netflix and Planet of the Dead wasn't there. But I've been re-watching them with my girlfriend, and we watched Planet of the Dead. (I'm in the US, by the way.) Anyone know why or when it changed? --Chaoseed ☎  07:04, August 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * What change are you wondering about? A change in the episode? Shambala108 ☎  15:43, August 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * "This episode is one of two full-length episodes missing from Netflix' run of the show. The other missing episode is A Christmas Carol."--Chaoseed ☎  20:25, August 16, 2014 (UTC)
