Talk:Sonic screwdriver

Shouldn't the Mark 7 and 8s be switched, seeing as how the mark 8 comes before the mark 7?Papayaking 03:50, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Could be worth isolating the River Song screwdriver all together, an anomally, as we have no idea when on the Doctor's timeline it will come in, he could have another 50 before that one crops up.

According to Weta Studios in Wellington, in an advert for the Sonic Screwdriver LED torch, the 11th Doctor is getting a new Sonic. Something like "The Doctor is regenerating soon, and he's getting a new screwdriver too. So pick up his old one now!" It was the 10th Doctor's Screwdriver, so I'd say it's referring to the End of Time. -Ravrahn

11th Doctor's Screwdriver Sounds
The Toy for the new Sonic Screwdriver, made by Character Options, has a 'secret sound' that occurs with the right pressing of buttons. Its a kinda laser sound, like what one would think an old-fashioned laser toy would make. Considering its supposed to be sounds from the TV show, perhaps this is a spoiler, maybe the sonic has some use for which it would make such a klaxxon noise 203.100.217.154 04:56, May 9, 2010 (UTC) James

New main pic
The new pic of the Doc holding the new series 5 sonic needs changed, imo. it should be an image of the sonic itself, rather the the Doctor. I suggest putting it back to the previous one until we have a better picture. Excalibur-117 17:23, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Didn't he reconnect some wires with it in 'the ark in space'?

Sonic Screwdriver Picture
Shouldn't the sonic screwdriver picture be changed as it is not the real sonic just a toy replica. The toy is very good as I have got it and think it is perfect but I just don't think it appropriate that it is used as the main picture on the page. For now, I think the old picture of the screwdriver just after its creation is an OK picture to use for a while until we can get a better picture of it.

Sonic screwdriver toy pictures
I would just like to mention that some of the pictures in this article are of toy replicas of the sonic screwdriver and therefore I believe should be removed and replaced with a picture of the actual prop. For instance, the Ninth and Eleventh Doctor's sonic screwdriver pictures on this page are both pictures of the toys made by Character Options.

Green. . ? In Star Wars this means sitting between dark and light.
Moffat grew up with Star Wars, same as most, and I wonder if the shift from blue to green in the sonic is indicative of anything more than just aesthetics. ..

In Star Wars, pure Jedi used Blue. Vader used Red. Green is right in between, (RGB), and Luke was using Green when he was tinkering with the Dark Side, doing choke grips and wearing black gloves and all that. (At least, this deliberate color scheme fit before the next series of prequels came out after Lucas' brain had melted and everything went to poop in the Star Wars universe.) I can't help but wonder if Moffat has assigned this same symbolic meaning to the sonic, which, let's be honest, is a geek's light saber. It even sort of looks the same, and certainly performs the same emotional/symbolic function.

 * Are you sure that's what they meant. I'm sure the colours meant different things. Besides, Moffat wrote Silence in the Library, and the sonic screwdriver in that had red settings as well as blue. Mc hammark 15:27, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
