@stavvers Ooh, now I'm actually wondering about other kanji-like characters used in English! Off the top there's @ (at) and & (and) which are relatively commonly used in sentences as if they were the words they represent. Especially &.
@stavvers 👍 That would be VERY appropriate for Doctor Who! It's exactly the sort of thing you could explain away with weird "time anomalies" and what-not, and yet has real-world metaphorical implications.
I feel like we'd learn the Ancient Thing is using his nuclear plant to power the device keeping this status quo - which is also keeping him effectively immortal.
@stavvers the cruelty of stardom in an age of permanently recorded and replayable performances. The movie stars and rock stars have to endure everyone reacting to someone they have long since ceased to be, may never have been outside of celluloid or vinyl. The current Dylan biopic shows some of the cracks this causes in ones psyche. The audience has a role in this distortion.
