Doctor Who - Post viewing thoughts
Jul. 1st, 2007 09:29 amI enjoyed that. Not unreservedly, but what's the chance that'll happen?
Not very spoilery if you've heard any rumours.
( Good things )
( Okay things )
( Wish they hadn't things )
And more references culled from everywhere.
This isn't plagiarism or "ripping off". It's allusion; it's a wink to the viewer saying "See, we share this culture." Language Log had a few posts on the boundaries of plagiarism which put this very clearly.
You've got to have paradoxes in a time travel series.
I should just like to stand up and be counted. I loved Mad Larry's two volume "Interference" for its overall use of quantum mechanics.
PS Dear Live Journal, please stop scrambling my cuts. They are there for a reason, you know.

I said "Stop it!"
I give up. The cuts are right, The HTML tags are properly paired, I'll just put up with unwanted bold text.
