Yes! As a matter of fact. Because of the linear way in which time works for us ordinary people, I wasn't able to use it at the time, but more or less since I first heard it, the Eleventh Doctor leitmotif has generally taken over as Corwin's own musical motif in my head. (In fact, I used it in S2E1a Quarantena, in the form of the series-5 track "Amy in the TARDIS", for the background music of a key "Corwin doing something bold" sequence.)

Various bits of the From the Earth to the Moon music - the opening and ending themes, and a piece from Mason Daring's score to the fifth episode, "Spider" - are still my go-to tracks for Corwin and Utena's relationship: the first when they're being heroic together, the second in cheerful moments, the third on the occasions when the romance comes to the fore. But it's the Eleventh Doctor's riff that plays in my mind when he's getting the job done on his own, when it's not a rock song of some description. Not just as it appears in "I Am the Doctor", either, but some of the later variations as well.

>*sorry about resurrecting a thread, only reading annotations now.

It's not a problem for annotations, Mini-Stories, and Featured Documents - the idea for those discussions is to be kind of atemporal anyway, since people don't come to them all at the same time. (N.B. Nobody should hesitate to discuss regular releases that are old either! Just make a new thread in the appropriate board for those rather than digging up an old one, is all.)

One caveat to that is that lately the Forum has been a little tetchy about heavily populated threads, so for ones like this one that are getting up toward 50 posts, it's probably better to start a new thread there as well, as I've done here. (To get the quoteback, just reply-with-quote, then copy the contents of the edit box, go back, start a new thread, and paste it there, then proceed as you normally would. Takes a little fiddling to reconstruct the subject line, but as long as it's close enough that people can tell what you meant, it should be fine. :)

>THANK you for the annotations. :)

You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoy them. They started out as kind of a lark, but have become one of the Standard Tools for sharing bits of the process and keeping the discussion going that little bit longer, which is fun from this end.
