Description
Coins the term "updaptation" to describe adaptations that shift temporalities from past to present, using the term to explore relations between ShT and the BBC television version, the "Sea Captain's Tale." Focuses on the episode's use of film noir techniques, the color blue, its setting in India, Sanskrit analogues, and "cultural mimicry."
