   >not just have the fish lizards being killed off by natural bacteria just   
   >as H. G. Wells does with the Martians in TWOTW. This would then

   >Ninety percent of the fish lizards are killed by the virus and they   
   >surrender. Is Tovey the one who transmitted it to them after he was   
   >injected? Why didn't it affect his fish lizard girlfriend who told him   
   >to ask for accord then?

   >So that's the story... What purpose do Tovey and UNIT serve in it?   
   >Nothing whatsoever as the virus could have easily been transmitted in   
   >the conferences room, or from the atmosphere, or water, without   
   >detection, so what's the point of them having them in it at all? Instead   
   >the story should have concentrated on the politicians developing the   
   >virus. No, they should have just adapted The War of the Worlds set in   
   >modern times just as Orson Welles did in the 1930s instead of coming up   
   >with a degenerate narrow minded woke lecture which is totally   
   >meaningless since it's built on a false narrative and patchwork of woke   
   >lies.

   >Instead of Germany in both world wars, Russia could have served as the   
   >antagonist concealed is allegory, but unlike TWOTW there is no   
   >algological foreshadowing of anything in The Woke Between the Land and   
   >the Sea. It's in-your-face woke propaganda which isn't either challenged   
   >or discussed, which means an intelligent audience will reject it.

   >Everything was inserted as pure padding for a story which should only   
   >have lasted 30 minutes at most if it was written well. The Sarah Jane   
   >Adventures did story telling infinitely better than this.

   >At the end the remaining fish lizards are given a new home at the bottom   
   >of a 7 mile deep sea trench in the Pacific. What's wrong with their   
   >existing trench? Isn't 5 miles deep enough? Why not just exterminate the   
   >whole lot of them thus preventing them from threatening humanity ever again.

   >Heroes", after Kate gets a message from his doctor who diagnoses   
   >something the matter with him which is never explained. Has he developed   
   >gills? Is this what "accord" means, breeding with the fish lizards?

   >After this Kate Stewart sees a man throw a plastic bottle onto a beach   
   >and then demands that he pick it up, and when he doesn't and it's taken
