Dude I'm not even an anthropologist I just have an interest in it
And yet I still manage to forget that the majority of people don't think about the human species the way anthropologists do
This is absolutely catastrophic.
Knowing that it was Rhianna Pratchett and Rob Wilkins to fight for the final 90 minute episode rather than Amazon trying to grab as much money as possible/cut their losses actually exhilarates me! It's like I've been given free rein to enjoy whatever comes out of it guilt-free. Honestly, after sleeping on it, this is the best outcome I could have hoped for, and certainly I didn't dare hoping for anything like it 3 months ago.
The early seasons lighting is truly beautiful. Each shot is like a painting.
I won't ever be able to understand the people who complain about the lighting in the early X files seasons. like what do you mean you don't see the appeal of twin flashlight beams in the dark.
doesn't this fill you with hope for humanity? don't you feel the child-like sense of adventure?
you're telling me you don't see the beauty of the silhouettes against the night sky?
the intimacy that comes from two people who only trust each other? you won't be able to tell that story under a bright light. it's the hushed whispers while standing very close together in an empty room, it's the shadows that lurk in the corners. that's the show's central thesis. this is also, simply put, art.
It's also what anybody means when they call the TARDIS a rusty, old model-T that's jimmy-rigged to hell and back and packed chock-full of the clutter of lifetimes.
