Talk:Boom (Doctor Who)

"Vater" = "Father" in German
Relevant? I do think so. Vater's 2nd line is "Have you done your teeth?", showing his priorities in life to the viewer, and later the Doctor: "John Francis Vater. Father in AI." and "However little is left of you, you are still a father. Dad to Dad…", so being a father is THE central definition of the character. In that light it's obvious that Moffat chose the name on purpose.

Would've been even funnier if his mate, who gets obliterated three minutes in, had been named something like Rothemd, Soldat or Opfer (="Redshirt", Soldier or Victim in German) instead of, quite blandly, Carson. Missed opportunity. :) 93.237.0.133 (talk) 13:30, 26 May 2024 (UTC)


 * You need to cite a reliable source stating any of this for it to be notable. DonQuixote (talk) 13:38, 26 May 2024 (UTC)


 * It gets mentioned here (also on TvTropes and Fandom). Does that count? 93.237.0.133 (talk) 14:12, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * None of those are reliable sources. Reactor literally solicits articles from their readers and Tvtropes and Fandom are literally user generated content. DonQuixote (talk) 14:35, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
