I will try to keep this reply short-ish, but it's hard for me when it comes to this serial.mstieforlifeApril 11 2011, 00:23:28 UTC
-Benik is probably my favourite character, even though he's the biggest slimeball ever. He and Salamander have the most head canon and, though they've turned rather domestic lately, most of it isn't very nice to Benik. Mostly because he's a jerk.
-Now that you've met Benik, have fun watching The Android Invasion and The Invasion of Time, because if you're even a bit like me you'll be seeing Benik instead of the other characters Milton Johns plays.
-FARIAH IS AWESOME. I love her SO MUCH. I'm glad you liked her, and Griff, too!
-The epically bad cut is just that: an epically bad cut, no footage missing. It's really amusing to listen to the audio version of that episode because the narration for that bit is "a short time later", which would really imply more than two seconds.
-I read that as "tyrants and political puppies". Yeah.
-When I was trying to do NaNoWriMo I spent far too much time studying up on how they could cause earthquakes and store sunlight, considering the story will pretty much just be interconnected gratuitous porn. I'm still not sure how I'm going to have it work.
-I'm still disappointed that we never learn how Fariah got to where she is, either in the serial or the novelization, but that's part of why I love this serial so much: there clearly so much background going back years that we don't get that you can have some fun speculating about everything.
I'm sorry that was so long, but I just get irrationally excited about EotW and get all flaily when I get new people to squee about it to.

Considering the icon and the enthusiasm for this serial, I can only assume this is person-of-pasta? :D
GRIFF. HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT GRIFF. I wish he'd had more screentime! He's probably the best comic relief character I've seen in black-and-white Classic Who.
I actually have the audio version, so I'll be checking that out one of these days.
POLITICAL PUPPIES.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, and porn. Somehow I can see how that would go together...
I'm trying to remember who it was, probably Nilamarthiel, who had a picture of Fariah as a Picture That Makes You Sad for her 30 Days of Who a while back for that exact reason.
Also, no problem. I tend to get at least on long post like this every few commentaries.
