Titolo: Damaged Goods / Lungbarrow







I have about 40 pages left in Damaged 
Goods and it has been an entertaning read. Next in my stack is Lungbarrow. How 
do you all rate Lungbarrow and do any of the BBC books (such as the Eight 
Doctors) contradict it? Also, what is the pronunciation for Lungbarrow? I got 
the "Lung" part but the "barrow" part could be pronounced a couple of different 
ways.


 


Thanks,

> what is the pronunciation for Lungbarrow? I got the "Lung" part but > the "barrow" part could be pronounced a couple of different ways.
I thought it was lungbarrow, as in wheelbarrow, not sure though, coz
I've never heard anybody say Lungbarrow before . anybody else find that
aswell ? for years I just read Who books, I was only about 13 or 14 and
couldn't afford videos, Who was never on TV, so I made do with the books
( which I think most of the Target novels are at least as entertaining
as their TV counterparts, depends wether you like reading though I
suppose) It's ever so embarrasing talking to a friend who has seen every
episode available, and mispronouncing "Mandragora" "silurians"
"sorenson" because of not seeing the relevant episodes :o) anybody else
got some classic "wow I always thought it was pronounced like . . . "
moments to share ?

I thought the same about Lungbarrow. Guess the only one who could really
tell us is Marc Platt?
On the subject, I have always had trouble pronouncing "Mandragora" :)

 The scene from Dr Who dealing with mispronunciation that always gives me the willies is in the "Androids of Tara".  The princess android,
who looks identical to Romana, mispronounces the word "sovereignty". Upon hearing this the Doctor whacks her with a metal rod and breaks her
face off. I often think, Wow, what if he was wrong and that was just the Taran pronunciation (this after I figured out the British say the
word pretty much the same way  Americans do.)

Hmmmm.. can't remember that far back, but I _do_ remember that Lungbarrow
was a fascinating read.

I'm guessing 'lung' as in the thing we breathe with, and 'barrow' as in the
wheeled variety :-)

Lungbarrow sheds some light on the murky past of the Timelords and the
Doctor in particular, but I think you'll find it different than what you
might have expected

and a little more just for good measure ^_^
I found it different than what I had expected, it raised a lot more
questions than it acutally answered.  Was the Doctor gene-loomed, or was he
naturally born?  And was he one of those old-time Timelords like Rassilon
and Omega, or does he just have a particular affinity with that era.  The
events in Infinity Doctor seem somewhat independent of Lungbarrow (but not
knowing what Doctor was in Infinity Doctors makes it difficult to put any
real assumptions into it.  I didn't like the ending very much of Lungbarrow
either, it was sort of tacked on to bridge the gap between the telemovie and
the original series.  The no-aliens on Gallifrey policy is thrown completely
out the window as well in another effort to bridge the gap between the
telemovie and the regular series/new adventures (Romana spends all her time
trying to get the high council to accept the Daleks on Gallifrey, but why
bother?  they never have until this moment and Romana in the past has never
has problems with blowing up the Daleks, so why not just timeloop them or
something instead.  Anyways, these are just opinions, there is a feel of
magic when you read Lungbarrow, like holding something from history in your
hands.

I had a friend at school in the early eighties who had only
read the Target book of
The Stones of Blood, and he kept pronouncing the name of the
Celtic goddess therein
as the "Call-eech".  Since I'd seen the story on first
broadcast, I just kept laughing at him.  Which was quite
cruel of me really.

Vraxoin for a long time before I got to see the episode ended with an
"boing!" type ending instead of Vraxo-in (my pronunciation was more like
vraxoing).
