Apart from that, fine. Just that bit kinda annoys me.”
Agreed about this. It does seem that in this latest series some bits of exposition are missed - I wonder if they ended up on the cutting room floor? My guess is we did have an engine, but it blew up during seprate testing - too late for a replacement to be built before the flares intensified.
