They look like a new villainous race of aliens in Doctor Who.

Hm… I’d say it’s more like a classic era who monster, troughton era, maybe?

I wish people would stop using goldfish as art though. I don’t think they consider at all how hard it might be on them.

That’s… honestly really impressive. That looks very very difficult to pull off*, so kudos to them on the technical execution of it (even if I’m not a fan of using fish for stunts like this).

Isn’t “interesting idea” enough? It’s so weird how artists (or more likely, their management) feel a need to reverse engineer some dramatic meaning into projects like this. If meaning isn’t self-evident, does it really mean anything at all?
