Why “The Impossible Planet” and “The Satan Pit”?Religious themes, Incongruity, Aporia
http://hollyjordan.net/workingpapers/
+From the showrunner:I think one of James Strong’s [the director] greatest feats on this is to get smoke all the time. It’s like, it is is like Hell is underneath them. In every shot, almost, there’s some sort of smoke rising up in the background or the foreground. And I love that. It’s so atmospheric.
– Russell T. Davies
