  • No because you’re likely too big (no offense) :(

    I think insects have little holes all over their bodies, in which air gets inside by itself through some physics shenanigans. It doesn’t need to be actively sucked in like with lungs, it just happens because they’re so small.

    This method doesn’t scale up though since if you’re bigger, you need more air, and having little holes all over your body won’t cut it. Thats when you know you need lungs, and that’s why you don’t see insects the size of a dog these days (thankfully).

    There used to be times in the Earth’s history (Carboniferous) where the air’s composition was different though, and since it had more oxygen in it, insects could grow a lot larger.




  • And yet it was by far the episode I enjoyed the most since Church on Ruby Road. The script has some glaring issues for sure, some of which might be fixed in the next season (I don’t believe in that too much though), but at least it mostly felt like I was watching Doctor Who for once.

    I think the running around, good music and pacing, some interesting character moments and great visual effects did it for me. Sutekh’s design and vibe are fantastic and I thought the scene where Ruby meets her mom itself worked really well.

    If the rest of the season was more like this episode, I would have enjoyed it a whole lot more.
