List of Weevil episodes

edit

If they have their own page, it would be good if it had a list of the episodes they feature in at the bottom.Wolf of Fenric 23:36, 26 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Might get a bit silly if it keeps growing at such a rate. We'll see... Clockwork Apricot (talk) 19:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I wonder...

I wonder, where the hell do they get their leather jackets?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Inbejylibei (talkcontribs)

Torchwood gave them to them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.167.14 (talkcontribs)

How do they find them all :O ?~CortalYXTalk? 15:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Are Weevils the only SF monsters who habitually wear clothes? Aliens who are more or less identical to humans generally do so, but not monsters. Qlangley (talk) 20:38, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

has anyone else noticed that a Weevil looks similar to a Hoix.--I.W 18:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

New speculation on their origin

edit

In series 3 there are Dalek/Human hybrids in the sewers of New York 1930, captain jack referenced this. So who else thinks weevils are these hybrids? Everyone... so there. * —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rinse Concord (talkcontribs)

Sign your comments using four tildes(~). But, yeah. I think that's true, too. LuGiADude 09:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
Isn't it pigs in the sewers? — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 14:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
How do Humans + Daleks = pig? LOL. I see Weevils, as they are "humans" with the aggression of Daleks.
Didn't the preview show pig people in the sewers? They certainly weren't weevils. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 18:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Arent they the same as the futurekind found in utopia? The similaritys are striking.


and as i've said above don't they look a bit like Hoix. mabey the Hoix, Weevils and Futurekind are somehow related.

Cleanup

edit

I've cleaned up a bit of phrasing, and removed some duplicate text, such as the comparison by Toshiko of Weevils to humankind which is mentioned twice. ~CortalYX 15:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Name Weevil

edit

Shouldn't it say somewhere that the name Weevil is taken from Red Dwarf?Wild ste 17:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Is there a source for that? --OZOO (What?) 20:17, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Not really, but its spelt and said the same. Though there are some major differences since the Red Dwarf one is like a small rat.Wild ste 14:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'm pretty sure it comes from the common insect pest of the same name.~ZytheTalk to me! 23:38, 27 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

About the name - should it be capitalized or not? I would prefer capitals, to distinguish them from the beetles. Most alien races are capitalized, but that is usually because they are named after their planet (just as "humans" are "Terrans" or "Earthlings"). On the other hand, "Weevil" is a nickname, and nicknames count as proper names and have capitals. I'm inclined to go ahead and capitalize throughout, and will do it shortly if no one has any objections. Robina Fox (talk) 10:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Beth/Janet

edit

I've not seen all of Torchwood yet, so I won't make any changes, but there's mention of Janet being afraid of Beth, but no allusion to which Weevil is Beth. I think it's the one that was caught while burying a child, but I'll leave it up to someone else to clarify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.46.74.190 (talk) 05:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Beth's not a weevil, she's an alien sleeper agent, seen in the episode "Sleeper".

The Greatest Mystery of Torchwood

edit

Since the "weevils" (and what happens if they ever run into an alien that looks like a weevil? What will they call it? An ocelot?) have low levels of language, intelligence and community, can someone please explain who is dressing them in orange jumpers and why? If it's the weevils themselves, where are they getting them and why? Are they all spawning in a men's work clothing store basement? It's like with the Ood. All the Ood on the Ood homeworld appear to be wearing maroon jumpers, but one would think that was their slave costume given to them only after capture by the fussy humans. So, where are all these time and space spanning Earth type jumpers coming from that aliens find so becoming? This needs to be addressed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gridsleep (talkcontribs) 04:59, 11 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

In Spanish

edit

Perhaps it is noteworthy that in the Spain dubbing they are called sapos ("toads").--Manfariel (talk) 04:44, 18 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
