In the beautiful 50th Anniversary Special Day of the Doctor, Steven Moffat had yet another mindf*ck up his sleeve when he introduced us to the concept that figures from 3D art could actually be biding their time in suspended animation, waiting to colonize our world. Brilliantly revisiting Tom Baker-era monsters The Zygons was an inspired move, but it also revealed yet another crack in Moffats already fractured psyche. Apparently, even an innocent trip to an art gallery is fraught with danger for Moffat, as the shady figures in landscape paintings are obviously murderous alien shape shifters just waiting to burst forth from their paintings and terrorize us all. Besides, if you visit the gallery with your spouse, theres a good chance that this could be the moment where they killed you... Those pesky Zygons even had a pop at Elizabeth I, which linked up nicely with season 3s (non-Moffat) outing The Shakespeare Code, as well as (maybe) the Christmas Special The End of Time and season fives The Beast Below. You dont need to know that, but I thought it was clever of him. And, as you all know, there is a fine line between genius and insanity and Mr. Moffat has crossed that line (several times, in fact).
I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction.
I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long!
If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it).
I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work.
Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that!
Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?)
Latcho Drom,
