Since author Gary Russell is the kind of continuity porn, I'm sure it "makes sense" of her paradoxical journey.<BR/><BR/>Colin: That's a great idea! And I think you've pegged many a writer just right. Of course, Cornell can just "play himself" these days. :)Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-54308105554938268502009-01-14T13:06:00.000-04:002009-01-14T13:06:00.000-04:00Nice to see you compare Lawrence Miles to Grant Mo...Nice to see you compare Lawrence Miles to Grant Morrison, as that's how I've always thought of him, just as Paul Cornell is a more like Neil Gaiman, and Gareth Roberts (old-style, unpretentious fun) is Dan Slott. <BR/><BR/>Now *there's* an interesting game - comparing Who writers to comic writers. Would revisionist Ben Aaronovitch be their Alan Moore? Classic but over-rated and thematically repetitive Terry Nation as Jack Kirby? And would comparing RTD to Brian Michael Bendid be entirely unjustified?<BR/><BR/>Answers on a postcard, please...Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928804321277007686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-25661973817901863662009-01-14T12:59:00.000-04:002009-01-14T12:59:00.000-04:00Is my mind playing tricks on me, or was there also...Is my mind playing tricks on me, or was there also a 'lost adventures' line based on unfilmed scripts intended for the sixth doctor? (I can't recall if they were written before the 'Trial' metastory forced a complete overhaul, unused because of some strike, or written just before the ax fell. Or if the whole thing was just a marketing conceit, for that matter.)<BR/><BR/>(Also, do any of the other-media provide a quasi-canonical explanation of how Mel's timeline can possibly work out?)Jeff R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10010142887152619337noreply@blogger.com
