I hope to write an essay on it soon enough (that's what I was preparing for before the twist).<BR/><BR/>As for the credits sequence, well, why NOT have Jack hanging on? That would have been some COOL. :) But you're right of course.<BR/><BR/>(With the Black 7/Star Trek/etc. plot too.)Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-86457107969155346652007-06-20T17:07:00.000-03:002007-06-20T17:07:00.000-03:00I forgot to mention: one very good thing about thi...I forgot to mention: one very good thing about this episode was the return of the <B>real</B> Captain Jack Harkness, not the angsty imposter ho hangs around in <I>Torchwood</I>.Steve Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213873565793377832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-85251818778118439312007-06-20T17:03:00.000-03:002007-06-20T17:03:00.000-03:00As a whole, I thought that Utopia had some great c...As a whole, I thought that <I>Utopia</I> had some great character business, stuck into an episode of <I>Blake's 7</I> (they did "the last few civilised people surrounded by Mad Max gangs" time and again, and one variation even included Avon launching a rocket Ark).<BR/><BR/>On the pre-credits: they couldn't really have cut straight from Jack hanging on to the TARDIS in the vortex to the title sequence, because that is another vortex scene. It would neither have matched nor flowed. And when the TARDIS came into view again, children everywhere would have been asking, "Dad, has Captain Jack fallen off?"<BR/><BR/>As it was, I know of a few who were asking, "So who's this Master, then?"Steve Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213873565793377832noreply@blogger.com
