The pawns are fighting together now
Feb. 11th, 2020 01:09 pmSo last night I continued the a watch of the Doctor Who season 26 blu ray with The Curse Of Fenric.
Like Battlefield, Fenric also had three versions of the eps as part of the boxset. Like Fenric, I kept with the special edition one which had been done originally for the dvd version. It’s probably the best episode of the season, even though the titular Fenric doesn’t actually appear until near the end (much like the Destroyer and Light in the previous episodes). Although there are a lot of parts to it, it feels like it has room to breath (something which is no doubt improved by having it as an extended version).
The episode is clearly a basis for some of the newer series eps, since it connects seemingly unconnected events to it. (Although both of these events are in the last two seasons.) And it’s a little timey wimey with the Haemovores and the ancient one.
Speaking of the Haemovores I thought they were a really cool design, especially the older ones that came out of the ocean. I loved all the scenes of them coming out the ocean and wandering around in the mist. The fact that the whole ep was shot on location really helped it I think.
It also showed how much of a manipulator Fenric and the Doctor could be. (Even though it’s backfired cause he kept Ace in the dark) Plus it gave some extra insight into Ace, much like the last one did which was nice. I’m gonna watch the other special features for the ep tonight.
One of these days I’ll be able to sort the gas card without having issues. Today the machine acted up while I was there and the guy wasn’t sure if it was because of the card or machine so suggested I try again tomorrow. It’s annoying. I’d go and check one of the other pay zones in Wryley but between the wind and food shop coming I think not. (And if it’s a service disruption it might be effecting those too.)
Money went in yesterday and all I’ve done is sort the Who magazine subscription though I’m not sure if it starts with the current issue or not (I’m waiting on a reply about that). I want to sort the Night Vale ticket but I’m waiting to see if xboxgamerreviews does gameblast this year. Gameblast is a weekend where gamers do charity streams for special effect, a charity that helps disabled gamers. XBGR usually gives away games for donations, but they’ve not announced anything yet. So I’m holding back money unless they do.
Anyway, I’m gonna snuggle and wait for the food shop then snuggle some more. I might write but my writing brain is slow lately.
And as I’m just about to post this I see I have a reply to that email.
