Talk:Hierarchy species

Was it ever established that other species have a hard time distinguishing between Heirarchy Species members? Did anyone on the show actually say that? --The Rev 16:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

This species looks nearly identical to an alien that showed up on Doctor Who once during Tom Baker's run. Sadly I don't remember the name. I'll find it as soon as I can. - 25 September 2006


 * I guess you mean the Sontarans? --Jörg 20:29, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sontarans, indeed. Now.. these first showed up in an episode called, which was all about... the nameless Doctor. Even more unlikely.. the second-in-command Hierarchy alien was called Devro (Davros). --  Harry  talk 22:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I noticed that, too. It's SO obvious. This episode was full of sci-fi refs. The best diplomat I know is a fully activated phaser bank. 23:57, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

It has never been explicitly stated on-screen whether the Hierarchy is a single person, or some form of committee, though the use of the collective term 'they' to refer to the Hierarchy suggests the latter. The Hierarchy's apparent obsession with efficiency, coupled with the computer interface used to communicate with them, suggests that the Hierarchy might even be nothing more than an advanced computer system.

Removed the above as speculation.--31dot 10:46, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
