One of the spoilers before the episode was to watch the screens and monitors, which I completely forgot about until last night when I was doing a rewatch. On one of the screens is a huge picture of the Doctors Sonic with the words:

"It is not sonic"
"It is not a screwdriver"

I am a bit torn as to what it is supposed to mean. Is it something for the viewers, like a hint of something we should know or find out? Or is it perhaps a warning for the army, perhaps that is far more than just a 'sonic screwdriver'. What do you think?

Ooh well spotted.

Do they think it's a weapon maybe? I mean we all know that it is a sonic screwdriver but that it also does much more than that.

Something more for us to think about   Undecided

Another thing that I thought it could be is perhaps a hint for the viewers that its the 'flesh' screwdriver or something, though it seems to work as normal so I don't know what difference it would make

If that's true, maybe it would explain why the Doctor didn't get a reading that the baby was Flesh.

I'm not sure if he did, but I think that was how he scanned the gangers

He definately used the sonic to tell the gangers apart, but I don't think he used it on the baby. I could be wrong though

I think the married marines walk past them near the start of the ep - there's a big one by a lift anyway. I saw the sonic but I couldn't catch the writing.

When I heard the tease about watching the monitors I assumed they meant the ones that were showing when the Doctor was looking at the scans that they were doing on Melody.  I didn't even notice the other ones so good catch.  But did anyone see anything on the scan screens?  Because nothing popped out there for me...but I could have easily missed it.

I look every time but I haven't spotted anything I beyond what the Doctor & the others are talking about. I shall keep scrutinising them though, just in case.
