members include guardian of the solar system mavic chen , trantis , zephon
master of the fifth galaxy
, celation , beaus , gearon , and malpha .
the new split sequel also feeds shyamalan’s master plan for his movies . in a recent interview with cinema blend , the director revealed that he essentially owns all the rights to his films so that no one else can make sequels to them without his permission . “i took care of all the right stuff , ” he said .
remember when we went into a lot of detail about how bran stark could actually be the night king on game of thrones ? well another theory about the leader of the terrifying undead army has cropped up . it details what he’s really after , and if this truly is his master plan then it all makes so much sense .
for someone who couldn’t stand wolf creek because of the pointless nature of it , i’m very curious to see what they’ll do with the last film .
the death scene of katarina , shot as a film insert at ealing during the week beginning 27 september 1965 , was the first work that adrienne hill had done in the role .
this film is an investigation of methods and patterns russia is using to win the expanding info - war both at home and abroad . the film will expose a set of instruments the kremlin is using , show russia’s propaganda machine in full motion and reveal how the same set of actions is tested and used in several european countries .
sara kingdom was going to be a replacement companion for katarina . ( not quite true . when it was realised that the character of katarina would not work as a regular , nation was asked to write her out as soon as he could . a replacement ' companion ' character was then requested for the remainder of this story . there was never any intention for sara to continue past the end of the daleks ' master plan . )
the story , telling over twelve episodes of the daleks ' attempt to conquer the empire of the solar system , is indeed a remarkable one with a genuinely epic quality quite unmatched by anything else in this era , and perhaps in the entire history of doctor who . the events depicted span a wide variety of different times and places as the doctor and his friends try to foil the master plan , and a whole host of intriguing and well - conceived characters are introduced , most of them ultimately to perish during the course of the action .
saw iv actually takes place during the events of saw iii , which is only revealed when a character from saw iv literally walks into the final scene of saw iii , about two seconds after the previous film cut to black .
“i have an 11 page outline for my next film in my bag . i can’t tell you what it is , but if you’ve seen # split . . . ” he tweeted on saturday .
' an all - round masterpiece , ' was ian levine ' s assessment of the daleks ' master plan in a voyage through 25 years of doctor who dated december 1988 . ' the direction of douglas camfield combined with the scripting of terry nation and dennis spooner gelled in . . . a way that defied description . . . rich characters , such as kevin stoney ' s mavic chen , and tense moments , such as the pathetic katarina ' s self - sacrifice - the first time we discovered that a companion could actually die - abounded . '
my one problem with this is that jigsaw consistently cheats with his traps . it happens literally in the opening moments of the first film ; a character wakes up , drowning , and thrashes , sucking down the key that would unlock his manacles down the drain as he pulls the plug .
like most of the longer doctor who stories , the daleks ' master plan is perhaps best appreciated at the rate of an episode per week , as was originally intended ; it is simply too much to take in all in one go . as gary russell commented in ark in space no . 7 dated may 1983 : ' it had its lame bits , [ including ] the nonsensical monk character ; and its strong bits , such as katarina ' s unexpected demise ; it had seriousness , [ as in ] the doctor ' s final thought ; and humour , notably the marvellous cricket match scene . '
having only seen the first saw , saw iii and the first half of saw iv , i have to say that this article has made me more interested in watching the series from beginning to end than any one of the film’s that i actually have seen . well done , sir .
the original intention was that the police station scenes of
the feast of steven
would feature a crossover with the characters and location of z - cars . however , the production team vetoed the idea , although the liverpool - area location of the police station survived in the transmitted episode . john peel ' s novelisation of the serial references this plan by using the cast names of the z - cars actors for the police characters ' names .
him putting the key behind michael’s eye in saw ii and everything else had been predicated years ago on forums and youtube ( search dr . gordon theories ) . i can’t believe they actually used it in the film though . i was rather disappointed , mainly because the whole premise and plot of saw 3d makes no logical sense ( even for a saw film ) and fans practically wrote most of the dr . gordon scenes . there was no real plot twist or surprise . just bleh . saw vi is the real ending of the franchise . : p nice read .
as a special christmas - themed episode ,
the feast of steven
( episode seven ) was considered to be of no sales value as its transmission would have to coincide with december 25 , and overseas television stations would be showing the story at any time of the year . the story was instead offered for sale overseas as an eleven - parter . because of this ,
the feast of steven
became the first episode of doctor who ever to be junked by the bbc archives ; no 16mm black & white film telerecording was made for international distribution , and once the master 405 line black and white videotape was erased for reuse the episode was lost forever .
i don’t fit the description of any of your characters you are look for . my question is are there any more role to audition for ? and if not may i be an extra in your film ? i am a starving actor that is just looking for work .
searching for marc cory , missing for six months ( see mission to the unknown ) , kert gantry and bret vyon instead find the daleks ' alliance , holding its seventh meeting . members include guardian of the solar system mavic chen , trantis , zephon ' master of the fifth galaxy ' [ see the monster of peladon ] ( a new arrival since mission to the unknown ) , celation , beaus , warrien , sentreal , and malpha .
the doctor and his companions are forming a plan to steal the daleks ' ship whilst evading the daleks and the visians . seeing that the dalek ship is only guarded by one dalek , the doctor decides that now is the moment . he reveals himself and says he wishes to surrender himself and the taranium to the daleks in exchange for safe passage home . whilst the doctor keeps the dalek talking , steven sneaks up behind him and splatters mud on the dalek ' s eyestalk . using this brief period of blindness , the doctor and his companions hijack the ship , closing the door just in time before the rest of the daleks arrive .
or just to have the time to go and kill jill , since a trap was setted up to kill people entering the test i thibk it’s more of a genius plan from hoffman ( and since hoffman really doesn’t give a damn about killing anymore i find this story way more credible than gordon turning mass murderer when all the footage we get of him in saw 3d is chirurgical interventions . )
the lead actress of the film seen in
the feast of steven
was played by sheila dunn , who was douglas camfield ' s fiancée at the time the episode was in production . the two married just before the serial completed production . camfield later cast her in a minor voice role in the invasion and a major screen role in inferno . sheila was also the daughter of bill dunn , who designed the bulletproof engines that would be used in spitfires , which were seen in victory of the daleks .
you know , i saw the first saw movie , and i was very impressed by its execution , but almost everyone i knew said that the sequels did not live up to the first one . and i would later find out spoilers from other movies , such as jigsaw dying at the end of the third film , and i would question how the films could still be any good or at all plausible after that happens .
in the tardis the doctor reveals that thankfully the main console has been unaffected by the explosion and it was the directional unit that suffered , but this still means that they cannot go to kembel . the doctor and steven hatch a plan whereby they could steal the monk ' s tardis , but the doctor worries they are surrounded by egyptians and he uses his scanner to check . he is delighted to find they are on kembel after all and that the directional unit must have broken after the trip . steven fetches the doctor ' s power impulse compass and emerges into the jungle .
gordon’s two helpers were not identified . the film does not reveal why gordon would help john . i mean it was just minutes before john dragged him off that gordon was shouting he was going to kill the man responsible for murdering his family ( at the time he thought they had been killed ) . no mention of his family at all . they could have used another 5 minutes to explain things a bit more . i don’t understand why lionsgate must need to condensed a complicated film to 90 minutes , especially when parts of saw 8 was added to saw 7 . there was just more traps and gore than story . the real fans of the saw films , watch them for the storyline , not guts . though that is an added bonus .
perhaps , then , the shyamalaneissance is nigh ? after a string of flops ( after earth , the last airbender ) , the filmmaker redeemed himself last year with comedic horror film the visit . made on a meager $ 5 million budget , it ended up pulling about $ 98 . 4 million worldwide , setting the stage for split ’s success . now there’s a comeback story with a juicy plot twist—and more to come .
in 1973 , the 16mm black & white film telerecording of
the traitors
( episode four ) was loaned to the children ' s magazine programme blue peter for use in a doctor who 10th anniversary feature that they were compiling for the monday 5 november edition , which used a 58
extract of the scene leading up to katarina ' s death . however , for some unknown reason ,
the traitors
was never returned to the bbc archives afterwards .
the results you find inside this plan in many ways support much of what we have already done over the last nineteen years , but they also challenge and inspire us to undertake new and innovative programming and efforts to continue to grow in artistic and cultural vibrancy , to invest further in beautifying our public spaces , to engage creative people in the community locally and at large , and further propel a unique identity for our city .
this article prompted me to start looking at the films wikipedia pages . while scouring over them i came across this little nugget in the intro section for saw vi : following its cinematic release , the film failed to garner any award nominations from mainstream motion picture organizations for its production merits or lead acting . true that has nothing to do with the films , but that is just way too funny not pass on .
back on earth , chen reveals the true depth of his plan to karlton . he plans to return to kembel as soon as the taranium is returned ; in the meantime karlton is to take a fleet to venus and from there they will destroy kembel with the help of a dissident army of followers that chen will summon up from within . karlton seems unhappy with this , saying it will only mean they will rule the galaxy ; however , chen insists that this will just be the start .
radcliffe says he was doing a q & a recently and somebody in the audience asked why he played such weird parts . he looks pleased when he tells the story .
i can ' t put it down to anything more than that i ' ve got weird taste . there have been plenty of weird roles so far , and more to come , i hope . i pick films based on scripts and directors and parts . i think i ' ve got good taste , but it ' s slightly left of centre . i ' m not interested in making films i ' ve seen before . there ' s nothing more exciting to me when i read a script than originality . that ' s all it ' s governed by ; there ' s no master plan to distance myself from potter with every role .
only the second , fifth and tenth episodes of this twelve - part story —
day of armageddon
,
counter plot
and
escape switch
— exist in the bbc archives as 16mm black & white film telerecordings .
day of armageddon
was recovered in 2004 when a former head of engineering at yorkshire television returned it to the bbc . this is the only recovered episode to feature footage of katarina .
to understand the saw series , all you have to do is look at the production company’s logo . before each film , the words “twisted pictures” are ensnared by coils of nasty - looking barbed wire . then they are impaled by a metal spike . then the metal spike is rotated , tightening the wire and gouging deep scars in the poor letters . in less than ten seconds , this animation encapsulates the series’s infamous modus operandi : horrible pain is inflicted with low - tech tools , and we’re forced to watch . twisted .
sara kingdom was going to be a replacement companion for katarina . ( not quite true . when it was realised that the character of katarina would not work as a regular , nation was asked to write her out as soon as he could . it doesn ' t appear likely that marsh , who at the time was much in demand for film and tv appearances , would have signed on for an ongoing role . )
since its inception nineteen years ago , the city of sunny isles beach had to be built from the ground up . initially by focusing on providing essential services like policing and code enforcement . then by constructing infrastructure like parks , a school and library , government and community center . the city’s cultural & community services department has consistently risen to the occasion as the city grew and became more diverse by creating wonderful programming for these facilities . but now , with the creation of this plan , the city is ready to take its next step in its quest to improve the quality of life for our citizens .
in an effort to avoid capture , the doctor and steven take refuge in a room wherein an experiment in molecular dissemination is taking place . the experiment reaches its climax as sara enters the room , and the three of them are transported to the distant planet mira , much to the annoyance of karlton , who has been sent to regain the taranium . karlton orders the scientists to keep an eye out for signs of life on mira and goes to report to chen . karlton suggests to chen that he should pretend that this was all part of chen ' s plan and he purposely transported the taranium to mira as it is closer to kembel and the daleks could get it more easily .
i guess it was a let down . i can’t really argue with you . but at the same time , i really enjoyed it – it didn’t feel like a letdown to me . part of it was that this was the only saw film i saw in a theater . the rest i caught on dvd . i think being these with an opening weekend crowd made it more fun , and compensated for what probably is , in all fairness , a meh final chapter .
in 2013 , mcgann reappeared as the lead in the mini - episode the night of the doctor .
there is no other horror film series that comes anywhere close to this kind of unified narrative . the friday the 13 th and nightmare on elm street movies weren’t building off previous installments . the final destination movies , released concurrently with the saws , were basically a series of remakes . the scream movies had some continuity , but they certainly weren’t that complex , and there were only three ( soon to be four , but that’ll be a reboot ) . generally when it comes to slasher flicks , you keep the villain the same , but rotate in a new cast of pretty young lambs to the slaughter . the guys behind saw didn’t get that memo .
he tells a funny story about harry potter and puberty .
in the second film , there was a shot where i had to hitch my trouser legs up to show i ' m not wearing socks , and at 12 my legs were way too hairy , and they said , ' nobody ' s going to believe any 12 - year - old would have that much hair ' , so they had to shave two inches up from my ankle .
the energy counter leads the monk to the landing site of the tardis , but it has been removed by the egyptians . however , the monk follows the trail into the pyramid . the doctor follows . the monk soon uncovers the tardis and tries to enter it but is confronted by the doctor . the monk tries to befriend the doctor in order to gain access to the tardis and the taranium , but the doctor sees through this and moves towards the monk as if to attack him .
by the time he ' d made the fourth film , and was past the halfway mark , he decided it would be foolish to stop . by then he felt he was mastering his craft . actually , he says , it wasn ' t growing up in public that he found so difficult as learning how to act in public . what does he look back at with embarrassment ?
god ! loads of stuff . my acting lessons are there for all to see . that ' s essentially what the films are , us learning to act .
the monk says that he was able to bypass the dimensional control that the doctor sabotaged in the time meddler .
outside the tardis , the doctor overhears the daleks ' plans for his spaceship . the two daleks refer to the imminent beginning of operation inferno . the doctor slinks off into the jungle leaving the two daleks guarding his ship .
the people who know the saw movies only from the advertisements assume their appeal is the twisted traps . but for the fans , it’s the twisted plotlines that has us counting the days until halloween .
‘eastwatch by the sea is the closest part of the wall to the gods eye . harrenhall is on the northern shore of the gods eye . the writers have dropped hints about the gods eye for years and have always discussed the riverlands with great detail . ’
with the daleks destroyed and sara dead , the doctor and steven return to the tardis and leave the planet kembel .
last year the city commission in partnership with the sunny isles beach foundation made a decision to create a more formal vision for arts and culture in the city . the goal is to create a greater sense of community identity , to leverage arts for creative place - making , and enhance the overall quality of life that bridges all divides in our extremely diverse population , and crosses all demographics . in furtherance of that goal , we engaged world - wide experts in the field of cultural planning , aea consulting , to evaluate our programming , survey our residents and businesses alike , examine our capital infrastructure and do some organizational planning . at the heart of this plan is a shared belief that the arts are an essential part of the engine for the creation of community , quality of life and overall sense of well - being .
was he aware how much harry would change his life when he was offered the part ?
no , i knew i was signing on for the first two , that four books had come out . warner genuinely didn ' t know at that stage if they were going to make more than one film . if it flopped , then they certainly weren ' t going to put up all that money again .
did he ever consider exercising his opt - out clause ?
by the third film , i thought , if there ' s a time to get out , it ' s now ; there ' s still enough time for another actor to come in and establish himself . for a while , i thought , if i do all of them , will i be able to move on to other stuff or should i start doing other stuff now ? but in the end i decided i was having way too much fun . and actually there aren ' t many great parts out there for teenage boys , certainly not as good as harry potter .
the travellers have escaped once more from the daleks . the tardis arrives at their next destination and , checking the controls , the doctor discovers that the atmosphere outside is completely poisonous .

correction : yes mb the screens showed the police station , but i still believe that the pictures showed the test subjects .
great point . jigsaw , of course , would claim that none of his games are about revenge . but in the first film , he chooses one victim who attempted suicide , and one victim who’s a junkie . then he chooses dr . gordon , who… cheats on his wife . and how does jigsaw know he’s been cheating on his wife ? because jigsaw hired a private detective to follow him around . it does really seem like jigsaw wanted to put his doctor in a trap , and set out to find a reason for doing so .

i waited a while to watch this one , and i ' m glad i did not see it in the cinema . i admire the first original eight films in the jönssonligan series ( 1981 - 2000 ) very much . i think they are genuine , funny and full of wonderful moments . they weren ' t just about the heists and plans , but about the sympathetic characters . all of those eight films bring a smile to my face because how wonderfully honest they are with both humor and cleverness , all mixed in a nice lighthearted bowl . i was excited when i heard an origin film was to be made . but , after seeing the advertisement for it i felt completely and utterly let down .

the best criminals in the world . the biggest heist of their lives . one day to make it happen
the doctor says that the way to defeat the daleks is ' to look back in the history of the year 2157 ' [ he either simply gets the date of the invasion wrong , or this is when the dalek campaign against earth ( meteors , etc . ) began ( the dalek invasion of earth ) . ]

spoiler alert : split in itself is already a sequel of sorts to shyamalan’s film unbreakable , though we won’t say what gives that fact away . ( read here if you must know . ) but now that spilt is a box - office hit , shyamalan can go full steam ahead with building an entire unbreakable cinematic universe ( who knew that would ever be a thing ? ) . cinematic worlds are all the rage now , and it would probably make universal very happy to nurture another little franchise , especially if future films within it can be made on budgets as low as split ’s ( a shocking $ 9 million ) .

as they emerge from the ship the doctor states that he will only give back the taranium at the doors of his tardis . the daleks are reluctant to do this but chen persuades them that it seems the only way that the doctor will return the mineral . the daleks lead the traitors to the tardis . the doctor says that he and sara will go in and steven will hand over the mineral to them . this is carried out . as steven tries to leave and goes back into the tardis , the daleks try to exterminate him , but the force field renders their efforts futile . chen is delighted that he has the main core to the weapon back again .
aku was a survivor of the dalek attack of egypt . ( prose : the eighth wonder of the world )
radcliffe says he doesn ' t want to sound ungrateful .
i know that potter is going to be with me for the rest of my life , so to try to set a goal where nobody talks about that any more is stupid . it would be like… paul mccartney might have gone on to do a lot of other things , but people are always going to want to talk about the beatles . it ' s just a fact of your life , so you can ' t get annoyed by it or resent it . you have to embrace the fact that you were involved in this incredibly cool thing that did wonders for the british film industry and though you might not always be happy with the work you did on it , the opportunity it has given you to forge a career for yourself is amazing .
the doctor , steven and sara have been transported to the planet mira , where they hide in a cave from the invisible visians and invading daleks . as the daleks surround them , the doctor concedes that the creatures have won .
back at the dalek time machine the daleks are impatient with the monk and issue the order that all
humans
are to be killed on sight .
in the dalek control centre , the daleks decide to leave the delegates in their incarceration for its destruction . they then give orders to begin the invasion .
chen notes that the people of the planet tisar and the embodiment of gris have both tried to depose zephon recently .
with his repairs to the tardis complete , the doctor goes out to find sara and steven . as he looks for them he witnesses the materialisation of the monk ' s tardis in the form of a stone pillar and hides . the monk emerges and sets off in pursuit of the doctor . the doctor realises that if the monk has just arrived then the ship that sara and steven must have seen was the dalek one . he sets off in pursuit of the monk .
having escaped from the prison planet desperus in the spar just as the daleks arrive , the doctor asks katarina to check that the airlock door is secure . as she does so , the convict kirksen emerges holding a knife . katarina screams .
by this time the doctor has arrived at the landing pad just as spaceship 1 - 11 lands . chen emerges from the spaceship and is met by the daleks . the doctor is horrified to see his foes again and hurries off before chen subjugates himself to the daleks — wishing them success and help with the plans for annihilation of the universe . by the time the doctor returns to the tardis he sees the door wide open and daleks milling around preparing to board his machine .
the space security service initially discovered the daleks ' plans on kembel , and left a recording which the doctor finds . ( tv : mission to the unknown )
one thing he prefers about making smaller films these days is that it ' s over and done with so much quicker . he talks about the final scene in harry potter which took four months to shoot .
it ' s almost impossible to film a scene for four months . it ' s a great scene , but it does make it harder to keep energy up for that time . we filmed kill your darlings in 25 days ; nine pages a day , which is faster than some tv shows . and that ' s exciting , you ' ve got no time to slow it down . i loved it . i wish all my films could be done at that pace .
the daleks have noticed zephon ' s absence and they , as well as the other dignitaries , are annoyed with the leader . the daleks fan out to look for him and soon find the doctor in disguise as zephon and escort him towards the meeting . arriving at the meeting , the other leaders express irritation at the tardiness of
zephon
. the meeting begins , and the dalek supreme reports their ultimate weapon , the time destructor , is now complete . chen reveals he has procured a sample of the extremely rare element taranium , necessary to operate the time destructor .
this story had the working titles of the daleks ( part iv ) ( meaning , the fourth doctor who story to feature the daleks ) and battle of wits .
the monk was stuck on the ice planet . ( there is no reason to believe this — the directional unit was taken , not the means to travel . )
in coronas of the sun , when the doctor orders steven , from inside the tardis , to give up the taranium , his voice is briefly
dalekised .
as the doctor goes back to the tardis the egyptians have mustered together their army and are also making their way to the rendezvous point at the same time as the doctor , chen and the daleks are . the doctor arrives late to the meeting and uses a large slab of stone to protect him from dalek fire . he is initially irate that chen brought two daleks but chen protests he has no power over the daleks . the doctor orders that his friends be let go . the daleks comply . the doctor tells chen to come and join him behind the rock and he will give him the taranium . as this happens the egyptians attack and chen snatches the mineral away from the doctor . a large battle ensues between the egyptians and the daleks . large swathes of egyptians are killed but some dalek casualties are sustained by the egyptians using rocks to hem them in .
the starfish - like dalek creatures seen after the time destructor has done its work in the final episode ; are implied to be the form from which the daleks evolved over a period of millions of years .
the short story katarina in the underworld tells what became of katarina ' s soul after her death . it is one of the few officially licenced doctor who stories to deal with the concept of the afterlife .
perhaps none of the sequels live up to the first , but after reading this , it seems that comparing the films side - by - side in that way is missing the point . from your writing , it seems like the experience of the entire series is the payoff . which is really strange , cause the writing and directing team behind the films has changed a few times .
chen notes that the people of the planet tisar and the entity gris have both tried to depose zephon recently . the indigenous population of mira are the visians ( who are invisible and , according to the doctor , eight feet tall and extremely vicious ) .
on the tardis the doctor fits the directional unit but warns his companions that if it doesn ' t work it could destroy the central unit of the tardis and render it immobile . steven states that they have no choice . reluctantly the doctor agrees and steven pulls the lever . a large flash of light and smoke billow from the unit as the tardis veers dramatically to one side .
the monk ' s tardis was stuck with the appearance of a police box . ( it clearly takes on the form of a block of ice on the ice planet )
meanwhile , at the main control centre of the city the daleks are assembling an army five thousand strong to make its way through the galaxy with the time destructor at its head . their preparations are interrupted by a guard dalek reporting that chen is presenting prisoners to the city . the supreme dalek tells them to escort them to the control centre .
when the doctor and his friends steal a dalek scout ship , the doctor says he is getting used to dalek technology . during the hollywood sequence the doctor meets bing crosby .
anyway , no i don’t believe gordon did help with the games ( we see hoffman take out a box with bobby’s game plans , so in the saw universe that’s what happened , unless it’s proven otherwise in another film ) . plus all of the billy tapes for bobby , nina , suzanne , cale and joyce were not by john , it was hoffman . you can tell by the words billy uses . one obvious clue was there was no wit added in the tapes and they were just to straightforward . i don’t believe there will be a saw 8 — at least not in 2011 . no closure for john and his work or the films ( “all of my work as being leading to this” . to what ? ) . he allowed jill to die after promising a way out for her . so many more questions brought up than answered , just lazy storytelling . so we’ll have to go with this flat “final chapter” . it was a let down–it really was .

steven , sara and the monk don ' t get far before being caught by the daleks and chen , who demands the taranium . in desperation , the monk pretends he was bringing steven and sara as hostages . chen accepts this and tells the daleks that the doctor will not allow the two to be killed . the monk seems pleased with himself until he is told that he is to be a hostage too . the three are taken to the ship .
after the doctor stole the directional unit from his tardis , the monk was stranded on the ice planet , the name of which he never learned , for a considerable length of time . however , he was eventually able to repair his tardis sufficiently to allow him to leave the planet , though he had not been able to replace the directional unit by the time that he encountered the doctor ' s eighth incarnation in the abbey of kells in ireland in 1006 . ( audio : the book of kells )
i think the other two with dr gordon at the end are his wife and son… . i noticed one was shorter than the other .

the tardis arrives in ancient egypt at the foot of the great pyramid of giza with mavic chen and the daleks a mere four minutes behind . the daleks and chen monitor the tardis after it has landed and puzzle over why it isn ' t attempting to take off again .
the following episode , volcano , continues in the same light hearted vein , with the tardis arriving first at a cricket match and later during new year festivities in trafalgar square . it is only after these diversions that the focus returns to the main plot . worth mentioning here , though , is the reappearance of the doctor ' s old acquaintance the monk from the time meddler - the first instance in the series ' history of a ( non - regular ) character from one story returning in a later one .

whilst roaming the jungle the doctor stumbles across steven and katarina . katarina explains how bret helped them out of the tardis as soon as the daleks were seen in the distance , therefore saving their lives . while the companions speak , bret is elsewhere in the jungle , where he observes the daleks using their
pyro - flames
in order to torch the jungle . bret goes back to warn the others , wherein an argument soon breaks out . the doctor wants to go back to the tardis , but steven argues that this is playing into the daleks ' hands . bret weighs in angrily only for the doctor to react with hostility towards him . the decision is made to move towards the dalek city so as to be safe from incineration .
back on kembel the daleks are upbraided by another representative from the largest galaxy of their alliance , trantis . trantis is worried about the trust that the daleks have placed in chen . the daleks are insistent that their way is correct .
sara and steven return to the landing site of the tardis and assume that the tardis has been taken as treasure and go into the pyramid . there they find the tardis but no sign of the doctor . as they search a sarcophagus begins to open and a bandaged hand emerges .
katarina , only introduced in the previous serial , became the first companion to die while travelling with the doctor . later in the story , sara kingdom , who was introduced during this story and was played by jean marsh , became the second . this story saw the first appearance of nicholas courtney in doctor who . it also saw the monk make a return , the first individual antagonist to get a rematch with the doctor .
realising that the impact should have totally destroyed the spar , the four conclude the daleks want them alive , and bret and steven set about repairing the ship . katarina and the doctor notice the three convicts approaching the ship and begin to defend themselves by placing a live wire within the swamp in which they have landed . sure enough , the convicts attempt to board the ship , and bors and garge are shocked unconscious . just after this bret and steven fix the ship and take off . the dalek pursuit ship lands heavily , allowing the doctor and his companions a further head start . in his haste earlier , the doctor realises he hadn ' t closed the airlock door of the spar and sends katarina to do so . as she does , kirksen , who has stowed aboard , holds her at knifepoint .
i think the movie focusing on the key in that opening shot , and having jigsaw mention it again at the end , is needlessly confusing .
back on kembel the dalek time machine has arrived and is staffed by a fleet of daleks and chen . as the ship dematerialises , the daleks are led in a chant stating that the destruction of the universe is now within their grasp .

alas , love the coopers focuses too much on interfamily drama to salvage the real christmas spirit .
the story ends with a comparison of jim and della ' s gifts to the gifts that the magi , or three wise men , gave to baby jesus in the manger in the biblical story of christmas . the narrator concludes that jim and della are far wiser than the magi because their gifts are gifts of love , and those who give out of love and self - sacrifice are truly wise because they know the value of self - giving love .
taking what should be recognition of love and family and the fortune of being happy and healthy and together and disemboweling that of its guts and soul has created the most nihilistic holiday film of all time .
love the coopers follows the cooper clan as four generations of extended family come together for their annual christmas eve celebration . as the evening unfolds , a series of unexpected visitors and unlikely events turn the night upside down , leading them all toward a surprising rediscovery of family bonds and the spirit of the holiday .
for her dramatic acting debut , singer marie osmond chose this sentimental adaptation of the venerable yuletide short story the gift of the magi , previously filmed in 1952 as a segment of the omnibus feature film o . henry ' s full house . set in turn - of - the - century new york , the gift of love casts osmond as young heiress beth atherton , who gives up her life of privilege and luxury to become the wife of poverty - stricken immigrant rudi miller ( timothy bottoms ) . though he finds work as a clerk , rudi is unable to afford a decent christmas gift for beth , nor is she able to scrounge enough money from the household budget to purchase a gift for her husband . what happens next hinges on the fact that rudi is inordinately proud of his gold watch , while beth takes equal pride in her long , flowing hair . produced by star marie osmond ' s brothers , the gift of love made its abc network debut on december 8 , 1978 .
here , o . henry again emphasizes the thematic difference between wisdom and foolishness in relation to the value of self - giving love . the wise men were wise in a practical sense . the comical reference to their gifts being exchangeable in case of duplication relates to the pragmatic side of thoughtfulness in gift giving : spending money wisely and choosing a gift that someone doesn ' t already have and might use . jim and della , on the other hand , despite their apparent foolishness , are wise in another sense ; that is , in their ability to appreciate the sentimental meaning behind gift - giving that goes deeper than a gift ' s material worth .
a successful novelist falls in love with her married publisher , to the consternation of her boyfriend , who arranges for her to meet the publisher ' s wife .
jim and della are thinking about the present moment and the material possessions that give us pleasure . what they foolishly don ' t realize , however , is that they ' ve given each other a greater gift : their sacrificial love . the lesson they ultimately learn is that their love for each other is worth more than all of the material possessions money can buy . o . henry makes a somewhat humorous though a meaningful comparison between the magi in the bible and jim and della at the end of the story :
filmed on location in jordan and in east jerusalem , the video beautifully captures some of the symbolic sites in jordan , including the king hussein mosque in amman , the citadel , the holy baptism site , petra , and wadi rum ; with exclusive shots also filmed in jerusalem . the idea of the video draws on all faiths , no matter the belief , in coming together to express the message of love .
the gift of the magi is a short story by the american writer o . henry , written and published in 1905 . it takes place at christmas time and tells the story of jim and della dillingham , a poor , young married couple who don ' t have enough money to buy each other christmas gifts . as the gift of the magi unfolds , both sell their most prized possession to pay for a gift for the other . jim sells his watch to buy della a pair of decorative combs for her hair , and della sells her hair to buy jim a chain for his watch .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
this lesson covers o . henry ' s famous short story , ' ' the gift of the magi . ' ' we ' ll cover the story ' s plot , analyze some of its major themes , and finish with a brief quiz .
the gift of the magi is a well - known short story by american short story writer o . henry , the pen name of william sydney porter . the story first appeared in the new york sunday world on december 10 , 1905 and was later published in o . henry ' s collection the four million on april 10 , 1906 .
a visionary and artistic young woman finds her love torn between her imaginary boyfriend and a real boy from one of her classes .
o . henry ' s story is a classic example of literary irony , the contrast between an expectation of what will occur and what actually takes place . jim and della each buy presents for one another , hoping to make each other happy . they never expect their actions will have an entirely different outcome : that their gifts are essentially unusable . however , they ' ve given each other a greater gift in showing how much they love each other . the major theme of the story is the difference between wisdom and foolishness , and the meaningful giving of gifts as an act of love rather than a merely practical gesture .

if you think this looks like an uplifting christmas story about the love of family , think again . sure , it wants to be , but instead it ' s a depressing mess .
the gift of the magi is a classic example of irony in literature . irony is a literary technique in which an expectation of what is supposed to occur differs greatly from the actual outcome . in this case , jim and della sacrifice their most treasured possessions so that the other can fully enjoy his or her gift . jim sells his watch to buy della ' s combs , expecting her to be able to use them . della sells her hair to buy jim a chain for his watch . neither expects the other to have made that sacrifice .
dark comedy where a married couple comes to the aid of a jailed uncle .
the magi , as you know , were wise men - - wonderfully wise men - - who brought gifts to the newborn babe in the manger . being wise , their gifts were no doubt wise ones , possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication . and here i have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat… who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house . but in a last word to the wise of these days , let it be said that of all who give gifts , these two were the wisest .

the irony here works both on a practical and on a deeper , more sentimental level . both della and jim buy each other a gift that ultimately seems financially foolish . being poor , they can ' t afford to waste money on things they can ' t use . however , what they get is something they don ' t expect : a more intangible gift that reminds them how much they love each other and are willing to sacrifice to make each other happy .
featuring an all - star cast that includes john goodman , diane keaton , ed helms , olivia wilde , amanda seyfriend , and steve martin , love the coopers is a holiday treat . when they come together for an old fashioned , traditional christmas the cooper ' s facade as a perfect , loving family starts to crack . the storytelling is pretty good ; considering the size of the cast and the number of plot lines that intertwine . however , most of them are formulaic and clichéd ; a father hiding his unemployment , parents covering up their separation , a daughter pretending to be in a relationship to please her mother , etc . , etc . and the comedy is rather tame . yet despite its problems , love the coopers is an enjoyable family comedy .

we first meet leo gursky when he believes he is nearing the end of his life , living alone in a tiny apartment in manhattan . he is an elderly jew who came to america from poland after the second world war , having survived the holocaust in hiding ,
mostly in trees , but also cracks , cellars , holes
. gursky is terrified of dying on a day when nobody has noticed him , which drives him to mildly attention - seeking behaviour - dropping his change in a shop , say . although he seems to be a man without much of a life , we soon learn that he was once rich in art and love . he loved a woman , alma , in poland , but because he took too long to get to america she married somebody else . he also wrote a great novel in poland , the history of love , but entrusted it to a friend who later told him that it was lost . so the holocaust allowed him to survive , but without the core of himself , and it seems that all we see is the husk of the man , withered and waiting for death .
marie osmond plays a rich girl being raised by her uncle and aunt ( june lockhart ) . her guardians encourage a courtship and possible marriage to a nice but boring guy ( james woods ) . osmond does not want to spend the rest of her life as pampered wife who does nothing but give society parties . she meets an immigrant , played by timothy bottoms , and they fall in love . however , her guardians disapprove of the match because osmond ' s late mother allegedly threw her life away by falling in love with a poor man . bottoms has his own problems - - he ' s only supposed to stay in america long enough to make a little money , then go back home and enter into an arranged marriage . this movie is based on an o . henry story called ,
the gift of the magi
. it ' s a very sweet and romantic tale with a christmas theme . osmond and bottoms are very believable as the young couple .
. . . a searing portrait of holiday - driven despair , a ruthless and harrowing look at emotional burnout and the soul - crushing playacting demanded by the holiday season .
i just saw this movie for the first time on tcm and i ' m an older adult . why anyone would think this movie would appeal only to teenagers or younger is a little pessimistic to say the least . i love the movie - lauren bacall , robert stack and adorable little evelyn rudie are wonderfully talented . of course , no one will ever compare with shirley temple - that ' s a given . even tho there have been many talented young actresses , they threw away the pattern with shirley . the storyline is - as it ' s supposed to be - rather melancholy - and for the period of time it was made it ' s rather marvelous i feel . the outcome of the story - which most of us could have guessed of course - is quite a lesson that teaches just how grief can make someone go off the deep end , dealing with just their own pain , and not considering the feelings and welfare of someone else , especially a child . who knows , maybe julie ' s spirit did come and encourage more searching for hitty - it ' s possible .

but as the novel progresses the patterns of the plot become tighter , and threaten to drain the life out of the characters . and although krauss uses the historical dislocation of the holocaust as the reason for gursky ' s broken life , the fact that the outcome is so elegant and the emotions are always described in such a stylish , glancing way means that we never get the sense that we are coming up against any real horror or despair . the very fact that gursky carries the candle for his own alma until his dying day - even though she marries somebody else and has children he stays faithful to her - gives a rather fairytale feel to the whole novel . when the old alma is dying in manhattan he goes every day to sit at her bedside in the hospital after hours .
she was tiny and wrinkled and deaf as a doorknob . there was so much i should have said . and yet . i told her jokes .
this moment should carry a massive emotional punch , but it is so charming that it slips into a purely literary convention . krauss is undoubtedly an entertaining , humane and intelligent writer , but this novel is just too neat and too sweet for her talent to fly freely .
over the past decade , we ' ve seen a recent phenomenon in film , where producers cast many big names in a clip film , that all comes together in the end . while this may work well with superheroes , it has yet to be successful in regards to comedy . that is why the film , love the coopers can be defined with one saying , too many cooks in the kitchen . this film features a large and impressive cast , and the previews looked terrific , but i assure you , ed helm ' s little girl calling him a dick , is just about the only truly funny moment in this film . the story here has a lot of different angles , and they do come together quite nicely , but this film is not what it was intended to be , as the last thing i would refer to it as is a hilarious holiday film . a lot of people are going to see this film because of it ' s cast , and from young timothee chalamet to veteran alan arkin , this cast is remarkable , however the story is not , in fact this whole film was fairly dull . i expect a lot from the cast , but even hollywood ' s best and brightest can ' t make a film work when the writing just isn ' t there . i love the concept and i really wanted to like this film , but in the end it ' s just a big disappointment .
