The Nose Knows: Difference between revisions

** Similarly, one of the things that tips him off about a clone in the episode "The Poison Sky" is her smell.

** Poked fun at when a character in the episode "The Empty Child" wanted to know how the Doctor had managed to follow her. Note: this was when the Doctor was being played by [[Christopher Eccleston]], who has a fairly prominent nose and ears.

'''Nancy''': Really? Is that why it's...Do your ears have special powers too? }}

** The Doctor has sometimes claimed to be able to identify the ''year'' by smell. But more often he has to use [[Newspaper Dating|other]] [[What Year Is This?|means]].

This ability is even called into question at one point. [[The Smart Guy|Wesley]] declares that Angel's nose shouldn't be as sensitive as he claims it to be. Angel takes a good whiff, and informs Wes that he had sex with a bottle blonde the night before.

'''Cordelia:''' That's unbelievable. I didn't think you ever had sex. }}

** [[Dhampyr|Connor]] either has a better version, or has been given [[Training From Hell|more incentive to get good at it]].

* Ferret of ''[[Static Shock]]''. When you compare him to guys who can throw fireballs or turn their hands into buzz saws, it gets pretty easy to see why he didn't do a lot of solo work.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' Homer Simpson has demonstrated the ability to smell frosting decorations on a cake in another room:

* In ''[[Batman Beyond]]'', a [[Catgirl]] and a Snakeman were able to take on an invisible Batman this way.

* [[Codename: Kids Next Door]]: Numbuh 3. In Operation R.A.I.N.B.O.W.S., she uses her nose to track down wild [[Everything's Better with Monkeys|monkeys]].

* [[Scarily Competent Tracker|June]] of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has Nila, a giant [[Buffy-Speak|mole-creature-thing]] that she rides around on that can follow anyone's scent.
