It is not always about who we let into our lives that should be of a concern, it ought to be those we refuse to let go of that would surely be the most troubling; the presence in the room that we cannot somehow live without, such is the fear of letting go that occasionally we find troubled souls and the homes they have made, are nothing more than shrines to ones to whom that refuse to leave.

For those that seek the truth, the shame of it is that it ends in tragedy. If there is any 20th Century playwright to whom tragedy is a gift that deserves to be exposed into the broad light of day, it is Arthur Miller, an expert who saw the American dream as a symbol, not of goodness and righteousness, but of fear, perhaps corruption, of the willingness to do whatever it took to keep humanity locked in a cycle of calamity, of refusing to see that the recklessness of one simple action would be visited upon our children forever.

How many regenerations have you lived through? It could be a question in which the critics decry as nostalgic, one that avoids a sense of action or purpose to the story line, the conclusion to a life is the only thing worthy as a new set of eyes to see the universe with fresh hope and a new catch phrase. To do this though misses the point, it shows that arguably you might not have been paying attention, or consumed with eager optimism for the fresh face to appear at the end.

Living for a few thousand years would be enough for anybody of sound mind and disposition to start feeling the pressure of existence. When that person has been held captive, held hostage in a diabolical prison by the very people he saved, for over four billion years, it’s really not a surprise that the mind might fracture, that the one thing that kept the mind truly occupied during that time was the death of a much trusted and loved companion; it really is only to be certain that the mind is Hell Bent on revenge.

Doctor Who is known for the bravery it shows in experimenting with the different, with challenging the viewers perspective on how certain stories should be seen or even emotionally felt and the penultimate episode of the current series is no exception to that.

The hidden, those that seek asylum and keep themselves out of sight down a maze or concealed nest of alleyways and secret hideouts, a place where the unnoticed go about their business and a place where even The Doctor doubts their existence. Into such a street comes the best of traps, the finest of well laid out plans to deceive The Doctor and which to ensnare him and make those around him accept their own final destiny and Face The Raven.

If you want to defeat an enemy then talk their language, if you wish to save the world from destruction, then learn the art of co-existence, learn to have true and meaningful discourse.
For the world in which The Doctor inhabits is not one to be given up lightly. It is not a world of continued aggression, it is one where things can be achieved if people are willing to talk, willing to sacrifice something more than their humanity, something more powerful than the ability to change; it is not an invasion but a peace that can be sought and won.

The world is replete with the tales of the fear of losing one’s identity, of having it usurped, stolen, by another and seeing it misused, misappropriated and driven to the edge of a psychological breakdown; it is the story that has been the inspiration behind so many science fiction stories and the very real and perhaps just as imagined terror that led to the insanity of the McCarthy Trials in the attempt to root out so called Communists in American life.

How would it be if you could be immortal? That every single ripple of Humanity’s suffering for ever would in some way touch your heart and then corrode it, tarnish it against the pain and eventually leave you cold and as unfeeling a rock in the baked and merciless deserts. Immortality comes at a price, life is something that no longer becomes precious and the cost to the soul can be devastating.
