   No I wouldn't since neither of them are science fiction and I don't   
   watch them since I am not the target audience which are women between   
   the ages of 35 and 44 of very low intelligence and social standing from   
   the C2, D, and E demographics.

   Blood pressure in the veins and other organs where mitogen and other gas   
   bubbles form on rapid decompression is not governed by the air pressure   
   in the lungs, otherwise all that divers would need to do to not to get   
   the bends is keep breathing pressurised air when rising up, which they   
   already do and it doesn't stop it.

   The majority weren't in range of the explosion. The moron just blew   
   himself up and his colleagues.

   The actor playing him looks like a typical homosexual. You'd have no   
   trouble finding a place for him in The Village People.

   So no explanation whatsoever either for the tissue samples or the   
   assassination bid then.

   There is no plot. If there was, some random employee wouldn't go around   
   stealing state secrets without an explanation for it. This is shit   
   writing by a shit writer who doesn't care.

   Given the complete lack of characterisation, character development, or   
   explanation of his purpose in the story how are people supposed to   
   remember his name, what he looked like, or who he was?

   Unless that is explicitly stated in the story that is pure speculation.   
   It's the writer's job to explain it, not yours. But the shit writer of   
   this garbage doesn't give a fuck about the quality of the writing   
   because all he wants to use it for is to insert his disgusting hate   
   filled political messages like Hitler did with exactly the same   
   messaging and ideology in Mein Kampf.

   We've seen no evidence of anything because this shit writer with his   
   shit writing doesn't have the remotest clue how to tell a story and link   
   all the parts of it together for it to make sense to the audience. All   
   that he does in place of thorough explanation is to write irrelevant   
   shit soap opera.

   What does the murder of a civilian have to do with UNIT? They're not the   
   Metropolitan police. There's not going to be an investigation because   
   McTighe and Davies don't have a clue how to write it. They don't care   
   about the story since they regard it as nothing more than a thin wrapper   
   for their degenerate hate filled political messaging.

   Newton's first law. But the chains should never have broken since   
   they're deigned to hold back rapid acceleration/deceleration. I thought   
   it was the fish lizard using their magic powers.

   It looked like Westminster Bridge to me, same one that they filmed The   
   Dalek Invasion of Earth on.
