Kill The Moon

Another episode of Doctor Who from October 4th!

Killing The Moon.

How can a rock die? Weathering, erosion, explosions.

These are all possible solutions.

There are many possible causes that could happen if the world lost its moon. The ocean tides would become different and higher. Gravity would be affected. The pieces of the moon may crash to earth. Night would also be a lot darker without the moon reflecting the sun's rays.

When you first think of killing the moon, you think of blowing up a huge rock. Right? Wrong. Killing the moon in this new Doctor Who episode is killing a brand new species. The moon is an egg, just about to hatch, and the creature is about to go fly off in space.

This episode shows how humanity will do anything to survive. Humans would kill the only one of a species to keep on living. Even if there is a chance that nothing much would change, and the human race would survive.

What would you do if you were asked to make the choice of letting a new species live or keeping yourself alive? Would you save yourself or the creature?

In this episode, humanity chose to kill the creature, but Clara let it live by stopping the bombs from going off. However the Doctor didn't help with this decision at all. By doing so, he pushed Clara to the point where she doesn't want to travel with him anymore. Kinda predictable really.

I don't know what I would do in this insistence. Everyone in the world chose to kill the new, amazing creature, would I choose to blow it up as well? Or would I be brave enough to stand up for it?

I would like to imagine that I would be brave enough to help this new species. Help it live its life to its fullest. However I know that I’m not a very outgoing person, and I’m really shy. So I probably wouldn’t have the guts to save it.

Would you?
