Doctor Who: "Ghost Light"

[skywaterblue]

I was told this episode didn't make any sense, but um, those people were obviously lying to me. (Or perhaps have a lower threshold of understanding.) Except for a few bits where the plot kind of wanders around, it more or less hangs together. There probably needs to be a bit more exposition, though, and fewer characters.

But. Then again. I also thought Alan Moore's "Promethea" was fairly easy to understand.

Basically, needs more editing, was good story, I enjoyed it very much. Also: I enjoy anything with Victorian crossdressing lesbians. Really, anything. If I ran the world, every show would be required to fit in crossdressing Victorian lesbians at some point.

I had pretty much the same reaction. So don't understand what other people's understanding problem there is. And andrastewhite is right that Gwendolyn singing "That's the way to the zoo" is pure mad genius.

Thank God it's not just me. I did love that bit! Actually, I loved a lot of it. It has lesbians and bugs and a gothic house with a Cthonic-angel who is really a mad Linnean. And a Neanderthal! And some genuinely quippy lines.

I would have loved the hell out of this when I was twelve. (I loved it now, too.)

You're far from the only one!

I've only seen two of his episodes because I'm still attempting to watch the DVD releases mostly chronologically. But I can already tell I love him and Ace, not just because I have so far, but because that's just the sort of fan I am. I fall firmly in the DS9, Battlestar, Dark is The Best Chocolate camp.

Okay, Crossdressing Victorian Lesbians in chapter 14. Watch for it.

Is this a book or an attempt to get in my pants?

During NaNo, I am very susceptible to influence, especially when I am flying without a plot.

No plot, no pants.

That simplifies things a lot actually.
