Talk:The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)

Futurama connections?
So whilst watching this episode I noticed a couple of references towards futurama, but wanted to check here before adding them to the main page. The biggest one being the similarity of the creature to Nibbler, in that they are both small creatures with vast appitites that can (and will) eat anything. In addition to this, Nibbler was also the pet of 'Turanaga' Leela so I am also assuming the naming of Tsuranga is no coincidence either, but obviously there is no actual on-screen evidence to back this up. Thoughts? MadeIndescribable ☎  20:57, November 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * Turanga and Tsuranga may be a bit far-fetched. I doubt they were thinking of Futurama while scripting this. But I definitely think that there could be mentioned a similarity between the Pting and Nibbler. --DCLM ☎  21:05, November 4, 2018 (UTC)


 * Similarities to other works are not references. They must either be mentioned in story, in which case they would go in the References section, or they can be mentioned by the production team, in which case they would go in Story Notes with the source. Shambala108 ☎  21:12, November 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * What I meant was obviously in story notes, just to be clear. --DCLM ☎  21:23, November 4, 2018 (UTC)


 * Normally I wouldn't make the T(s)uranga connection, but with Nibbler/Pting being so similar it does make me think it was a deliberate choice. But without any confirmation I won't add anything to the page. Thanks for the replies.MadeIndescribable ☎  21:40, November 4, 2018 (UTC)
