Talk:Colony ship (World Enough and Time)

Floors
Is the list of decks necessary? They go from 0000 to 1056, sequentially. -- UncertainError ☎  01:20, July 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. Check out Talk:World Enough and Time (TV story). --DCLM ☎  11:02, July 4, 2017 (UTC)

Destination
This page says that the ship is going both from Mondas and going to Mondas. Which is it? -- Saxon 09:29, July 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * When exactly does it say it is going TO Mondas? The only mention of this I recall is in World Enough and Time, in which Missy says the ship is from Mondas. --DCLM ☎  11:02, July 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * "The colony ship was commissioned to transfer inhabitants of Mondas, for which it was headed", says this page. I assume this must be wrong. -- Saxon 20:26, July 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * Based on the transcript, Missy says the ship is from Mondas, possibly meaning the colonists are Mondasian, while the Doctor says the ship is fresh from the factory, on its way to pick up the colonists. The thing I don't understand is the crew of fifty, apart from the blue alien, are supposed to be Mondasian, right? Cause the factory and Mondas are far away enough that there's a black hole between them. Steed ☎  19:26, July 9, 2017 (UTC)
 * The crew is Mondasian, on their way to pick up the colonists, who are NOT Mondasian, so when the crew begins to convert, they truly are Mondasian Cybermen. So whoever the colonists were supposed to be remains a mystery. Steed ☎  03:08, November 13, 2017 (UTC)

List of floors
Guys, we really don’t need to list all the floors out like how it’s currently laid out. It’s kind of dumb. Just having: “Also seen were floors 100 to 1000” for example, would be fine and people would get what it’s on about. It’s really unnecessary to have them all listed like that.

 * I refer to the debate at the top. It was decided to preserve it. --DCLM ☎  13:09, September 16, 2018 (UTC)

time dilation: is the episode backwards?
is someone going to point out how technically speaking, time moving slower closer to the black hole (which I understood to be toward the lower floors, opposite the control deck; the crew that left the control deck went to check on the thrusters, toward the black hole, right?), should mean they have *less* time than the floors further away from it? I.e., the people that left the control deck should be basically frozen in place relative the people that remained, as opposed to procreating like crazy. Did I misunderstand which way the ship is oriented or something?-- 04:12, July 21, 2019 (UTC)

Name
Should this page be renamed to "Mondasian colony ship"? Given that said name is how it's referred to on nearly every page it's mentioned? CyberFoundries900 ☎  20:52, August 29, 2020 (UTC)

To expand my point - the colony ship is from Mondas, thereby meaning that the term "Mondasian colony ship" is technically the most distinct and valid name for it, even if such exact wording is never used in-universe. Also, Mondasian colony ship is less of a disambiguation term than Colony ship (World Enough and Time). Thalek Prime Overseer ☎  09:38, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thing is, there's no reason to assume this is the only "Mondasian colony ship" out there, so we'd still have to disambiguate it. Scrooge MacDuck ☎  13:32, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
