A Fairytale Life #2

[superboyprime]

The planet Caligaris Epsilon Six is supposed to be a holiday planet modeled on Earth fairy tales, but the Doctor and Amy have arrived to find that -- surprise! -- something odd is going on.





Everyone on the planet who becomes sick or injured gets abducted to the Dread Tower by a creature called the Serpentine. Amy's come down with the local plague so, sure enough, that night...





And at the Dread Tower...

Erm...reads a little bit more Baker than Smith, I find.

Well, they ARE the same person! :)

Oh, the timing of this coming out is a little unfortunate for Sturges, since only two weeks ago there was an episode about a rogue medical program that kidnapped people from a pseudo-historical setting -- pirates, in that case.

Amy sure seems to get shackled a lot.

[icon_uk]

Her husband dies a lot, of the two of them, I think she's got the better part of the deal.

Watching Amy get shackled to thing makes me think I've gotten the better end of the deal. :)

I just noticed that in "Hungry Earth", "Coldblood", "The Big Bang", "The Day Of The Moon", this comic, and the novel The Glamour Chase (a great novel if you like Rory)...as opposed to only twice in the Jack the Ripper issues and the (audio) novel The Jade Pyramid, where she's actually tied up...if Amy's going to be restrained, it's typically with a clampy-shackle-thing rather than another way.

And, yes, I do count these things.

I'm slightly disappointed by the lack of Rory, a sentiment I wouldn't imagine having a season ago.

Hahaha, I was waiting for the part where Rory dies. Again.
