Spoilery speculation, and help with a list...

Lots of people are speculating about the season arc, and collecting evidence.

So what I'd like is a definitive list of references to ( spoilers start here )

So what I'd like is a definitive list of references to planets that have been lost, or people who want to hijack and/or remodel another planet for their own use...

The Autons in Rose and the Gelth in The Unquiet Dead - there's a race in the most recent batch of Torchwood books who've lost their planet, too.

another planet "lost" because Lux Senior moved in and remodelled it for his own purposes because of his daughter.

I thought it was an artificial planet? I probably misheard though.

I thought so too. Wasn't it just that the books in the library, brand new editions, were pressed from the forests of the vashta nerada.

Either way, the VN were displaced. I think the concept of the diaspora has as much to do with this season as procreation, takeover and terra-forming.

You'd still need loads of mass to build an artificial planet, though ... why not use the material of the planet you've just deforested to feed your printing press?

New Earth? Humans came in and took over catworld.
Racnoss from Runaway Bride, maybe?
Utopia with the whole end of the universe thing/or taking over the conglomoration.

Another arc seems to be evil corporations: Adipose, the people who enslaved the Ood, Atmos, and the Lux corporation (although of course, the last one turned out not to be evil, just misguided). Oh, and that guy from Voyage of the Damned.

I think that's just lazy storytelling rather than an arc though. :)

I could watch your icon forever O.O..

It's fabulous isn't it. I don't know who originally made it, but they were a genius whoever they were.

At first after (excuse me for forgetting episode names)the pompeii and ood episodes that there might be some sort of doctor/donna being seen as gods thing going on. They were idolised as house gods in the pompeii episode at the end and there was some sort of worship reference at the end of the ood one too.

Just wondering if anyone noticed that and how would that fit with the loss of planets?
