Interesting take. I didn’t consider the belief vs atheism angle. That makes alot of sense to me. I don’t think it means to, but it really illustrates this idea that if you don’t accept divine love, then you are doomed. It shows just how abusive and cruel that position is.

The Doctor is kind of vilified for denouncing love (ignoring the possibility of asexuality/aromantic), I find it disturbing that the preacher’s last line is to the effect, it is good that he is dead.

I would have been interested in the hearing more about the gay angle. In that lens, is the Doctor being punished for being in the closet?

It is an interesting episode, but it seems like there is a lot of subtext to unpack. Parrot idea is brilliant though.

One of the best voices in radio and Disney’s Haunted Mansion. He could play a mime and it would work.

It was a cautionary tale that played the belief systems of the spiritualist against those of the impiricist. When the spiritualist was not able to convice the impiricist to open his heart to embrace love and that which cannot be seen, it cost the scientist his life. The scientist had deeply entrenched resentment towards deep and abiding love and because he was unwilling to bend and change his belief system and way of being, the love he’d shut out all his life came for him. His fear and refusal of it destroyed him. I find it interesting the minister was pleased he had died, suggesting that he found it appropriate.
