For my part, I will take a Verne submarine over a Lunar lander (what the DW Time Machine looks like) any day. Besides, the submarine shape is more in line with the symbolism of Wells's words. The Machine in "Time After Time" has the name "Argo" on the front, a reference to what Wells called the Machine in "The Chronic Argonauts". Of course, Argo is an analogy to Jason's vessel. In "Chronic Argonauts", he describes it as "sailing the sea of time", so the submarine shape evokes travel in a similar way than the sleigh shape of Pal's Machine. |
