shadowhiveYesterday turned out to be semi productive. In the morning I started my Uni assessment, doing the first 2 of 5 questions. I’m gonna get back to more soon. After walking the pup and having noms I had the afternoon alone but I ended up just nesting, probably because assessment drained my brain power. I’d hoped to read or go on eso but nope.
Tickets for MCR go on sale Friday because of course they do. I doubt I’ll get to go causa that but we’ll see.
When mum came back from the library I found out she’d had a tumble on the way there. She was ok for the most part though had caught her knee pretty bad. Someone had saw and gave her a lift which was good. I hope she takes it easy but... it’s mum so who knows.
Someone at the library said to her we should get Padme, my guinea pig, a new friend and gave mum info on the rehousing place they helped at. The fb has a few pairs and they look cute so... who knows.
Last night I watched the usual tv and managed to finish fic, woo! I dunno what I’ll do next but we’ll see what comes to mind later. Maybe I’ll do the xmas prompt I’d started.
I was gonna go on ESO but there was some sort of issue with it so I couldn’t, ugh. Instead I went on age of wonders planetfall and did the tutorial mission. It gave me definite civilisation vibes but I’d hoped for an achievement fit the Xbox quests. I ended up watching an ep of Lucifer and Bobs burgers before going to snuggle.
The rest of post is under a cut and about the latest Who.
First off, I really need to do these things the night of the actual episode instead of waiting a few days damnit. But anyway.
Nikola Tesla’s night of terror was a bit of a misnomer because why it started at night most of the ep (and the terror) happened in the daytime. Ah well. I liked Tesla, he was an interesting, visionary character. (Although being Who was sending stuff underground really a good idea?) I find it strange that sci fi stuff seems to love him. He was mentioned a few times in Warehouse 13 and appeared multiple times in Sanctuary. So it’s probably a surprise that he hasn’t been in Who before (although maybe he was in an audio?)
I liked the ep pretty much. I liked that there was a Silurian blaster (does that mean one of the ark ships bmade it somewhere) and the aliens reminded me of the racnoss a bit. They were a pretty interesting design too and I liked that they were scavengers with no clue how their technology worked. (Including a Venusian thing, I wonder if we’ll ever see them).
As a slight aside to the Silurian blaster, I’d love to see the Silurians back in an episode where they’re not antagonists, where they’re co-operating with humans. (Maybe on some sort of space mission? I’d really like that)
Anyway. It was a pretty enjoyable episode overall even though it ended on a sad note about Tesla. And ugh, Edison is such a dick.
Next week’s ep is called Fugitive Of The Judoon and, we’ll that’s as much as I know, but it’s enough to get me excited. The Judoon are one of my favourite new Who races so I was squeed when I saw them in the first preview pic and season trailer. I’m not sure what it is about them that I like so much, but I just 🥰. And the new one seems to have a Mohawk too!
