Circular Time - a brief review.

posted by [personal profile] leoniedelt at 07:49pm on 01/02/2007 under ,
Circular Time.

Part 1 was ok. Wasn't particularly memorable, but Zero changed the society in the end, that was cool.

Part 2 was pretty good. Isaac Newton was *quite* good; I love David Warner anyways.

Part 3 was superb. Terrific for Nyssa to develop her own relationship, and circular time, and her novel, etc, while he was disappointed by the cricket. Superb.

Part 4 was... i'm speechless. I wanted to cry. just as I wanted to cry when i first saw Androzani. Weep my heart out for the lonely weary time traveller, destined to be alone in the end.


Paul Cornell, you're a genius. Utter genius. Pushed all the right buttons. Yes.
Mood:: 'happy' happy

I wont say anything other than to say that it is unbelievable in places, and just amazingly wonderful.

Winter had me totally cornfused until i sussed out when it was happening and what, and i was so very sad for him, so utterly sad like i was when i first watched Androzani and any time i think about what he does in it....

I almost cried. So moving, so beautiful. And he and Nyssa are such a good pair in audio. SO much better than the Perimem entity...

When he was describing what it was like to be dying of spectrox toxoemia, what was happening to his body then and there, and then how he was drawing on his companions to help him, it was just beautiful. Running to the watcher, with one last determined thing to do, it was just *beautiful*.

I really had to try hard not to get all sniffly. I was on public transportation; people look at me funny when i do that :P
