Ha, this was quite fun :D I'm getting, here, that part of the deal of S&S is never actually "getting" tne metaphysics involved in S&S, and just focusing on the characters... yes?

Aw, thanks

I'm sorry... any excuse to start theorising about Elements... *sheepish*

It's appealing to me because of the flexibility of the metaphysics. I really love coming up with "technobabble" that is internally consistent if not always externally understandable. A lot of my rules for writing stuff like that is, "the characters understand it better than I do, and that's perfectly okay". :) I see echoes of that here as well, and I do like the way it gives a feeling that you are getting a glimpse into a much bigger picture.

Yes, that's a very good way of putting it. The characters know all this stuff, they don't need to explain and it's quite uncompromising about not telling us anything it doesn't have to. It makes them very unusual "other" POV characters - they're on the outside, looking in with a very different take on things - or you have the option of a human POV character trying to make sense of them.

Given how much you love TARDIS-centric stuff, I could imagine might like it - or certainly would enjoy the fanfic possibilities! If you did want to try any time, it is all up on YouTube, has been for a while. (aralias says starting with Three might be best, and I can see hwat she means entirely, but I find it hard to imagine watching such a tiny amount of canon out of order, especially since the only explanations we ever get are in A1. It is slow, though - mostly quite deliberately, but it is, Assignment 1 especially so.)
