The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock/Doctor Who:[vid]Visions and Revisions(Dare Disturb the Universe?)

Nov 27, 2009 16:42

After changing the course of history in "The Waters of Mars", the Doctor must face not only the unforeseen results of his choices, but also the responsibility of altering the world for the better- or for the worse. Now, with power in his hands that he's always known he shouldn't use, he faces the option of going back to change... anything. But where does that stop? And now that he has lost everyone, who will point out the line he has crossed? He's over the border of where rules define his travels through the world, and Here Be Worse Than Dragons: all the terrible things that he hasn't changed. How much does he dare revise, how much can he disturb the universe?

Exploring themes from T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," this vid displays the burden of such choices in his past and present, and the anxiety of encroaching mortality. Featuring TS Eliot reading the poem (courtesy of HarperCollins Audio), Mogwai's "May Nothing But Happiness Come Through Your Door," clips from the BBC's Doctor Who, and photographs from the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Subaru Telescope, Wikimedia, Ken Carver, and others.
