Random fact I just realised about this episode — the “spooky kid” Belinda saw in the alley as she was running through Lagos? She’s played by Sienna-Robyn Mavanga-Phipps, who was Captain Poppy in “Space babies”. The character is even credited as “Poppy” in “The story & the engine”.
Please don’t @ me about your great intense love (or otherwise) for “Space babies”… but let’s just sit for a second with what a deep, weird cut this is. I have no idea how or if it’s going to tie in with anything, ever.
Another theory that I have been seeing floating around is that Poppy is the Timless Child and space babies was the doctor bootstrap paradoxing their own morality
That would be ridiculous — and I mean that in the best possible way 🤣
