| Introduction | "The consolation of fairy-stories, the joy of the happy ending: or more correctly of the good catastrophe, the sudden joyous 'turn' ... this joy, which is one of the things which fairy-stories can produce supremely well, is not essentially 'escapist' or 'fugitive.' In its fairy-tale - or otherworld - setting, it is a sudden and miraculous grace: never to be counted on to recur. It does not deny the existence of dyscatastrophe, of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance; it denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat and in so far is evangelium, giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy, Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief." - J.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairy-Stories |

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?
Um. When the Doctor tells me it is?
