...I find it odd that Benton and Yates, as commanding officers, do so much hands-on work themselves instead of sending scouts or something.
Well, Benton's not an officer. He's a Sergeant - the guy who's job it is to be assigned to things like this. Of course, if this is a "looking for Jo and the Doctor" type thing, there might be reasons for them not to want to delegate in this case, when otherwise they would. But at least it seems that Yates and Benton do very different sorts of things from each other most of the time.
The phrase "human guerrillas" just came up. It looks fine in writing, but try saying it out loud and see if it doesn't sound a bit odd.
Hee hee hee
It's probably the latter, but somehow I feel that this guy is actually trying to be a gentleman to her.
Well, he probably doesn't have much opportunity to ever play the nice guy. Everybody in his world knows who and what he is. And now I'm thinking that this might play into his eventual Heel Face Turn.
Apparently the Daleks didn't want to be bothered to make their own Doctor Who fanvid, so they just torrented one from ThreeTube.
Hee hee hee! It's also weird the way they're using the title sequence, and then it...turns into the title sequence. But that might be the only place in the show where the title sequence appears as part of the episode...
So yeah, Two, what was that you were saying a while back about the late 20th century having "very few wars?"
Clearly, it's because UNIT and Three prevented them all.
Well, this was a real joy to read. Thank you as ever. And enjoy David Troughton in his purple jewelled battle-shorts.
Ah, yes, that's my non-understanding of military rank rearing its head. Part of me just assumes that everyone with a title that isn't "Private" has some sort of command authority. :/
If you look closely, you'll notice that the title pattern on the screen stays in place and fades into the actual end credits pattern (at least, if I remember right. I'm pretty sure it did.) Also, it wasn't quite so much a "fanvid" as it was a slideshow of production photos.
Purple jeweled battle shorts? This'll be interesting.
It's a fair point. Pelladon is a lover, not a fighter :P But I can't resist that bit of language from Douglas Adams: "the leader of the Vl'Hurgs, resplendant in his jewelled battle-shorts."
(since seeing "the Doctor's Daughter", I kinda ship him with Jenny, just for the wacky).
Yes, that's exactly the effect I was referring to. (and I was borrowing the "fanvid" language from you). Sadly, it happened differently on gussied up release that's up on dailymotion. I was so sad when I saw that.
Yeah, I'm no expert on the finer points of military ranking either, so I could be wrong about half of this. (And most of what I do (think I) know comes directly from UNIT and Stargate). But I do know that there's like a ...two tiered system between officers and enlisted.
I may be overstating Pelladon's purple jewelled battle shorts. They aren't really all that jewelled or battle. Although they are certainly purple and short. But. I really really like that episode, and so I should say no more about it, just hope that you will enjoy when you get there.
