SUSAN: “I can't, Mister Chesterton. You can't simply work on three of the dimensions.”

IAN: “Three of them? Oh, time being the fourth dimension, I suppose? Then what do you need E for? What do you make the fifth dimension?”

SUSAN: “Space.”

“DOCTOR: Yes, the planet Quinnis, of the fourth universe.”

VICKI: “Time [fourth dimension], like space [fifth dimension], though a dimension in itself, has dimensions of its own.”

THE RILLS: “Though we are beings of separate planets, you from the solar system and we from another space, our ways of thought, at times, do not seem all that different.”

MALPHA: “Suppose they send a message through this universe?”

[...]

MALPHA: “This is indeed an historic moment in the history of the universe. We six from the outer galaxies, joining with the power from the solar system, the Daleks!”

Revisiting this post of mine after rewatching Galaxy 4 and fixating on the Rills’ phrasing a little. Playing with the Hartnell era’s outdated (often intentionally) or kitschy, already rusted “space-age” approach to cosmology.

The outdated way of viewing galaxies as “island universes,” the idea of “galaxy” and “universe” being interchangeable terms. “Space” as something just as surreal, strange, as “Time,” with multiple dimensions of its own. The reverberation, the haunted humming, of evil and machine monsters tapping into a sort’ve “cosmic unreality.” The night sky endless “island universes” drifting past, beside, and through each other. Different galaxies, sure, but evidently equal as different dimensions, entirely different definitions of “space” and “universe.” Different properties. Dreamlike. Child’s logic.

And this approach to space sort’ve slips away textually with Troughton, replaced with the eerie, spooky sense of vast space, of whole worlds and universes hidden in the folds of humming velvet black, but it still... I dunno.

And it’s all so... empty.

Perhaps, to jump a few eras and (extreme) aesthetics later, distressingly empty.

Time Ramvent Day 9: The 'Tache Pirates Tom Baker stars in 'The Space Pirates'! Wait, no, don't leave! Yes, somewhere there's an actual thrilling adventure going on, with Hi-Ships and Alpha-Darts, but this is good too! Look, there's Milo Clancy! You can't say no to adorable old Milo Clancy. And there are scenes where Tom Baker and Brian Blessed interact, you're going to want to see that scenery chew-off. And if all that's not enough for you, how about the debut of the hit single, 'She's Only a Girl (with a Bottom on her Head)'? Nowhere else do you get stories like this! Nowhere.

Hear me out, TARDIS Data Core, but I feel *pretty* confident that Dome of Whispers author Ian Watson, who has by all accounts been an author by trade for the past fifty years or so, is a different Ian Watson from the guy who did the design work on The Space Pirates and Terror of the Autons.

Just a hunch.
