Zardoz Who?
It's been quite a long time, but I mentioned before how much I love the poignancy and "slow passage of time" feeling that I get listening to Beethoven's 7th Symphony, 2nd Movement, Allegretto.
I'm actually quite surprised that of all the reviews, articles, forums, and even YouTube vids I've seen and read regarding the latest Doctor Who episode (Heaven Sent), I've only found two commenters on one video who at least give a nod to Beethoven's 7th.
Did everyone forget the tie in of Beethoven's 5th being mentioned during the Boostrap Paradox monologue back at the beginning of the Before the Flood episode?
I should think Beethoven is owed a little more than such a slight nod by the masses for his contribution to this episode's score.
"Shades of Beethoven in this"
"Parts of this remind me of the second movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony."
I'm sorry, but the first few notes of it playing in the episode didn't just "remind me" of Betthoven's 7th. It IS Betthoven's 7th remixed. I instantly thought of the "long haul" time frame the moment the music started playing. It became most obvious when he started thinking about( I'm in official spoiler territory )
