So the way Moffat portrays Amy in it, even though it's (allegedly) "funny", is clearly an extension of how he sees the character.Richard Pilbeamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200001341422162219.post-33360608908968540002011-03-27T23:50:50.647+01:002011-03-27T23:50:50.647+01:00Fatal Death and Dimensions are all on YouTube.
I ...Fatal Death and Dimensions are all on YouTube.<br /><br />I see very little substantive difference between the three, except that Space/Time features the current cast. Perhaps the fake cast of CoFD serves as a distancing element so we don't take the content seriously. Otherwise one might consider Emma losing sexual interest once the Doctor regenerates into a woman as jokey homophobia. But it's Blackadder and Saff, so it's all a larf, innit? (For the record, as a gay man, I'm not offended by it)<br /><br />And the obvious aging of the regular cast of Dimensions in Time is apparently an intentional distancing element from just how unspeakably awful it is ;-)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142582765299398937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200001341422162219.post-67715277301949245822011-03-25T18:01:45.043+00:002011-03-25T18:01:45.043+00:00You see, it isn't silliness or crudeness I hav...You see, it isn't silliness or crudeness I have a problem with.

Sorry, I still don't see why I should take this any more seriously than "Dimensions In Time" or "Curse of Fatal Death," except that Space/Time has the current cast and the others were done during the interregnum. If CoFD starred Sylvester, Sophie and Anthony instead of Rowan, Julia & Jonathan, would you have been as forgiving?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011617359734000043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200001341422162219.post-89563267247237281672011-03-22T15:58:55.648+00:002011-03-22T15:58:55.648+00:00Just seen "Curse of Fatal Death" for the...Just seen "Curse of Fatal Death" for the first time.
