Hoop for Episode 108 - Monologue, for @kayleigh.laymon, who kindly donated to the PCRF. Thank you!!

"I don’t think it’s going to stop. Last night was the worst yet. I knew they were coming, but how do you prepare for something like that? The first was there in the audience before I even set foot on the stage. By my second entrance, there were five that I could count. And when I began my monologue, the whole auditorium was full of masks."

I didn't know about ghost lights before this hoop!

Okay, so we watched the third part of "Ghost Light" and I think I know what it's about now. So you see, there was this guy. And he was a thing. And he was trying to make soup for his catalog. And there was this woman, and she was also a thing, and she wanted speech therapy, which made her jump out of a window. And they had another guy, but like. Not actually a guy. Or maybe he was. Maybe he was two guys. And a Neanderthal. And there was a woman and her mother and they were um. And they had a bunch of moths in a drawer and also a policeman. And they were going to Java to kill Queen Victoria. And Ace burned a house down.

getting intense twelve-era episode vibes. we have an unpleasant obvious foil to the doctor (the half-faced man from deep breath; ‘josiah smith’) we have a theme of tension between science and religion (robot of sherwood; evolution and horror) we have manipulation of the companion’s past and ‘facing fears’ (the entire premise of listen; ace’s traumatic childhood memory of gabriel chase) it’s so very series 8. i once read that season 26 of classic feels spiritually more like ‘series -1’ of nu and this is really proving that point. so many themes going on. class and gender and race and colonialism and darwinism and christianity and ableism and victorian social mores and uncomfortable history and the monster in the attic. gothic science fiction in the jekyll and hyde vein. they’ve got it all

A very heterosexual compilation of Ace and Gwendoline in Ghost Light (1989).

Not to be a huge lesbian or anything but Ace dressed this victorian lady called Gwendoline up in a suit and she is SO stunning. She was already stunning in this beautiful white dress and now im just.... oh damn... beautiful..................

Dead?

Yes but it’s only a temporary thing.

Yes.

Just a little death.

A temporary death.

Short term.

Yes.

Yes, he’s spending a year dead for tax reasons.

Shit happens I guess.

Apparently Ben was taking beta blockers, Propecia, HGH, "and just a dash of methamphetamine."

Well, then.

What is even happening in "Ghost Light." Why is there a house full of zombie Victorians. Why do they have a spaceship in the basement. Why is there a Neanderthal butler. Why is the seventh Doctor talking to a cockroach.
