This is absolutely brilliant. The idea of two Sams is one that doesn't get explored often enough, and you've done it magnificently here.

I adore your description of words falling like hammer strokes and Sam cleaving a path through time. ♥

Thank you. There are clearly some really nasty, dark places of Sam's head that would be hell to inhabit. I found all those dim-lit passages through his psyche very unnerving in the show.

Deliciously sinister, and especially loved the notion of TCG as a friend to this entrapped version of Sam. Very chilling and brilliantly done, thank you!

[templeremus]

Thank you for commenting. I imagine TCG was probably happy to have her very own Sam tucked away, for keeps.

[templeremus]

Thank you very much. I love how this could show made innocence creepy or darkly funny- like the Test Card Girl, or Sam's childhood memories, or (under 'darkly funny'), Camberwick Green.

This was slightly unsettling and just brilliant.

Thank you. Unsettling is something the show does especially well, imo- all those persistently ringing phones and flickering power.

Oh, I love this. Really unsettling and makes you think. I always did wonder what had happened to Sam Williams...

[templeremus]

Me too; I feel like the Williams/Tyler plot point was mainly there to ramp up Sam's angst and self-doubt, and then dropped as soon as it had served that purpose. Quite what might have gone on in Sam William's head, if he was ever real, is a fascinating question.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked.
