Talk:The Hungry Earth (TV story)

How do we know Rory Williams is a companion in this episode? Is he a companion in Amy's Choice too? -- Will101 16:22, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, we don't really know if he'll appeer.

There looks like theres going to be a silurian human hybrid in one of the episodes as there is one breed that look more human than the normal silurians
 * Watch the first long trailer. See that shot of Amy and the Doctor running in the greenish tunnel the Silurians are also seen in? Yeah, you can just barely see Rory running with them. This episode is supposedly set in the near future, so he can't just be there, he had to have gone there with them. --Golden Monkey 19:32, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Does Amy get turned into a silurian? I saw a picture of one of those human-silurion hybrids (if that's what they are) in shackles, wearing a mini skirt. Plus, she falls down one of those holes in the ground, doesn't she? Maybe that's how the human's are kidnapped. MidnightCat 16:46, May 7, 2010 (UTC) In the trailer from Amy's Choice you can see Rory so it is pretty obvius he is in the episode. Alpha111 19:24, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Sea devils
Is it at all possible that the black-eyed creatures are heavily re-designed sea devils and the others are the silurians? Afterall the green ones seem to have a bump on their forehead, perhaps hiding the 3rd eye whereas the others don't.

The Big Bang
How can this episode be set in 2015 if the explosion that causes the cracks happens in 2010? Liamhenney 11:08, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

The same way that The Beast Below, Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone could be set in the 31st and 51st centuries. 86.140.235.125 00:18, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Alternative Philosophy
"A review for the episode by Beehive City states that the year is actually 2020 despite the press release saying 2015. It may have been changed due to some events of the previous episode happen in 2015.", Okay this is obviously wrong. We know that the Doctor landed in 1996 to pick up his new girl. Thus, "5 years after Amy travelled with the dcotor" (circa Amy's choice) would have been 2001. Thus, the time frame here can be 2015. But then again, how would you say it is 2020? Not say 2018 or 2017 instead of 2015? You are saying this is five year after the dream lord episode, which is possibly not true. Also, what i say here, is what i think is why they do not remember cybermen and others coming to earth as it happened after he picked up Amy, thus she wouldn't know the Dalek Invasion of 1999 or 2051 and would not know further the plastic creatures in 2005. Then again, Doctor Who (becuase of different writers that are not that good at looking into the past themselves, this can be a complete different timeline altogether.) Just saying. Not editing as i am not a user yet. And i could be wrong. :) I would like to know how, if this is true what you say on this article...how can it be 2015 in Amy's Choice? 86.177.207.188 12:18, May 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * According to Flesh and Stone, Amy's time is 2010. The date shown in that episode is the day of her wedding. The Doctor picked her up the night before her wedding. Meaning that "5 years after Amy traveled with the doctor" would be 2015 at the earliest. V00D00M0NKY 08:15, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Digital Spy Teasers
1. Amy and Rory are expecting to arrive in Rio when The Doctor mistakenly lands them in a Welsh village in the year 2020. Yes, it's just an excuse to see Amy in a tiny skirt for the next two episodes but let's agree to overlook that.

2. Immediately The Doctor senses that there's something unusual with the ground below them. There's something wrong with the grass, too.

3. Pay attention to the script very early on in this episode. A lot of the lines will have added poignancy after the story is done with.

4. The Doctor loves a big ****** *****.

5. Nasreen Chaudhry (Meera Syal) is heading up a team that has drilled further into the Earth than anyone has before, 21km deep. Unfortunately her drilling has disturbed something below...

6. The Earth is pretty hungry. Ravenous in fact. It consumes Amy and it's still got the munchies!

7. Shameless! Plug! For! Sherlock!

8. The Doctor: "Silence. Absolute silence."

9. When The Doctor comes face to face with a Silurian, she claims to be the last of her species.

10. The Doctor: "Nobody **** today."

No.4 I think is *something* drill

No.10 nobody dies today, possibly.

1. Oh yes.

2. Ground feels strange, and there's blue grass.

3. Hmm... have to watch it carefully next time. With subtitles.

4. Didn't catch it.

5. Yup, she sure is.

6. Yes. Happy day.

7. Elliot and his audio CDs.

8. Didn't catch that either.

9. True. A false claim.

10. Probably nobody dies today. Knowing the Doctor. Someone'll probably die anyway (next week). Adam 148 18:22, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Frontios?
According to the next time trailer, people get sucked underground in a very similar fashion as they do in Frontios. Anybody else notice this? V00D00M0NKY 08:09, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
