Regarding the film starring Marc Blucas: I was wrong about the "well-meaning".

Regarding the location of the Lurker demon in Season Six:

( Where Lurks the Lurker? )

OK, I know the above is deeply pathetic, but this what I'm like when I'm obsessed. Almost none of it has any bearing on the fic I'm writing, but I'll actually sleep easier now that I've come up with some vaguely plausible nonsense. You don't have to read it---that's what a cut tag is for.

Bleh. Sleep now, write tomorrow.

Last wibble on Spike in Africa

The salt-licking, volcano-dwelling elephants of Mount Elgon. I know it says Kenya, but their map is misleading. There are better maps of the region here and here.

Why did ME pick Uganda? What mystical associations did they mean to impart? Or did they just pick some random African language?

All I can think of is that southern Uganda includes the source of the Nile, Lake Victoria (Mount Elgon may be part of the catchment zone---not sure). And that Alan Moore at least has identified the country with H Rider Haggard's miraculous Land of Kor.
