->"Mr. Turner’s influence reaches beyond the horror set: Last year the Museum of Arts and Design showed “Tales From the Quadead Zone” as part of its VHS retrospective. Jake Yuzna, curator of the show, said Mr. Turner stood apart from other amateur filmmakers because his films “failed in a way that made them more original and fantastic.”"

->''"At its best, one of the things ''Series/DoctorWho'' has always been extraordinary at is making new mistakes. This is true on a very fundamental creative level, where even from the very beginning of the program you are forced to say things like, 'well in their defense, resolving two weeks of sci-fi experimental theater with ‘oh, bother, the switch was stuck’ is not something I’ve ever seen done before,' up through the days of 'racism [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang}} and giant rats]], huh' and 'holy fuck [[Creator/ColinBaker that coat]]' and at last to things like 'wait, they lied to their brother and [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS33E10JourneyToTheCentreOfTheTARDIS}} told him he was a robot?]]' This is terribly important, because if you don’t make new mistakes you’ll never discover that obvious mistakes like evil robot salt shakers, hiring [[Creator/TomBaker a construction worker]] dressed in a ludicrous scarf as your lead actor, [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS25E2TheHappinessPatrol}} a giant fascist Bertie Bassett]], or a searing deconstruction of the normative [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar}} rape/revenge plots]] that dominate sci-fi media in the early 21st century that argues for a focus on women’s narrative and experiences are, in fact, brilliant and important ideas that the world would be a poorer place without."''
