Line 8: It seems that a race of giant insects - the Wirrn - are also aboard. Eggs have been laid in the solar stacks, and larvae are glimpsed. One of them infects the human leader, Noah, who begins turning into a Wirrn himself. The Doctor and his companions gain the trust of the other humans, now led by medical officer Vira, and together they lure the hatched Wirrn onto a shuttle craft and launch it into space. Noah, using the last vestiges of his humanity, deliberately doesn't set the shuttle's stabilisers and it explodes. === Tropes === * [[Air Vent Passageway]]: Sarah Jane is the only one thin enough to get through the vent. Line 22: * [[Executive Meddling]]: In the orignal script The Wirrn were simply ejected from the Ark in the shuttle. However the BBC feared that the possiblity of them surviving would frighten younger viewers, forcing Holmes to kill them off at the end. * [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler\|Both Rogin and Noah.}} * [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~the Real Monsters]]: In spite of the Doctor's obvious faith in humanity, there is evidence that they are not so virtuous after all. The Wirrn's plan to destroy humanity and steal their knowledge is an act of revenge for the destruction of their original breeding colonies in Andromeda by the human empire. When Vira learns of this, she is delighted that the occupation of Andromeda was successful, instead of sad that it caused largescale misery for another species. * [[Humans Are Special]]: See the page quote. {{quote\|"It may be irrational of me, but humans are quite my favorite species."}} Line 34: {{reflist}} ~~[[Category:Doctor Who S 12 E 2 The Ark In Space]]~~ [[Category:Recap]] [[Category:Doctor Who]]
