Description

Exposition is a bitch, if you know what I mean and I'm sure you do. Getting the characters to explain what is going on in a way that doesn't shatter the illusion of 'real speech' that dialogue has to carry with it. The term Abomination was first coined by Ben Aaronovitch in the novelisation of Rememberance of the Daleks. It has since infiltrated the TV series, originally it was a term applied by the other Daleks to the Special weapons Dalek, which had mutated and gone insane due to its proximity to the power source of its big gun.

Yes I agree, sometimes it almost seems better to explain as little as possible and let the audience figure it out. You handled it well, though.

As 'glenn' says "you handle it well", we are informed in a way that it would have to be put to Stillan. Interesting bit about the term 'abomination'...... More wonderfull illustrations, and New Skaro seems to be turning into 'Spy School', all this intrigue...
