Important Doctor Who stories

[izlear]

Logopolis is also my favorite episod. I don't know why. Many other people that I have talked to do not like that episod. I think it's great. I have used the concept of numbers presented there as a basis for a large story I am writing. entroducing entropy into the universe is also a great story device.

The Doctor used a machine to amplify his subconcious. the resulting problems of it didn`t show up til later. in the form of ravaging invisible amorphous entities. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Incidentally, the similarities to "Forbidden Planet" in "Face of Evil" were almost certainly intentional. The phrase in the movie was "monsters of the id", and that's basically what the rampaging entites are. But it is only a passing similarity -- overall, the story is quite different, and knowing "Forbidden Planet" won't really give you any spoilers at all. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> (But it will make you really wonder what's going on when you first get a look at what the invisible monsters actually look like.)<br /><br />Incidentally, I believe they used a similar technique for the visualization of the monsters as was used in "Forbidden Planet". At least, the effect comes across in a similar way, which is worth noting. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
