I did manage to do some of the things I was going to do this weekend. I started Clone Wars season 3, finishing disc 1 Sunday night. I also watched The Mandalorian, watching the first five episodes on Sunday and then the last three yesterday.
That meant I’ve finally finished the series. I never watched the final two eps, even though I downloaded them so I finally watched them on Disney+. I really do love the series (though I was sad that Kuili and IG-11 died) and it was great that Cara appeared again in the last two episodes. I hope she comes back in season 2. Same with the armourer, who kicked ass, There’s also so many questions left open. What happened to Mandalore? Who was that with Fennec’s body? Where did The Child come from? (And I really love the child so much)
I also wanna know how Moff Gideon got the darksaber (which if you don’t know is super important, having appeared in Clone Wars and Rebels). Hopefully we’ll find out some of these things in season 2.
Yesterday morning was shopping again, which went as well as normal. There’s still some things that are missing, which are annoying, but in general I got what we needed. I also got the Lego Star Wars magazine so I got something Star Warsy, since it was Star Wars day. I also ordered a few things on sale at Forbidden Planet, though Ugh the shipping really is annoying.
Before we walked the pup my doctor who season 14 collection arrived, which I was waiting for. I can’t wait to start it since it has some great eps (and a Tribute feature about Elisabeth Sladen which I wanna see).
Monday night was a few things. The start of Endgame, the last Voyager ep which is a great ep (aside from the Seven/Chakotay thing which is just... no). The second half is tonight and then it’s next generation from Wednesday. Elementary finished on Friday so Merlin replaced it on Pick. It’s a series I’ve not seen in ages, but I remember enjoying it. The first one is a nice set up and it was strange seeing Gwen from Torchwood in it (in a really nice dress too). I forgot just how much of a dick Uther was.
After the Bone Collector and then the Monterey Bay Aquarium stream I continued my Doctor Who watch with Genesis Of The Daleks. It’s an episode, like so many old Who’s, that I’ve only seen once. (A few years ago I thought about doing a rewatch of some eps but never got around to it.)
The episode is widely regarded as one of the best but I dunno. I think, like many 6 parters, it kinda dragged. It’s an interesting ep in that it’s really about the futility of war and the Doctor’s speech of ‘do I have the right’ To destroy the daleks. (Of course, he should have, but the whole mission is really considered to be the trigger of the last great time war. Plus it’s another showcase of how the time lords are willing to use him to meddle so they don’t get their hands dirty). Davros is clearly both insane and amoral, only caring about his daleks even at the expense of his own people.
I intended to watch the special features right after, but the making of is an hour alone so I‘m gonna watch tonight instead. I then may watch the next one, Revenge Of The Cybermen, Wednesday. (And watch the special features disc. I might also put on one of the humble bundle audios, destination Nerva.)
Of course it was during the watch of Genesis that I got a nasty dm. It started out nice enough, with the person saying hi and saying if they could ask me something, so I said sure. What followed wasn’t so much a question but rather a venomous attack, again solely because of what I shipped. I blocked and reported them, but it pissed me off. (Even though I didn’t fully read it.) It led me to spite write, which I posted up last night but I dunno why people are like that. Ugh
I got a few more things today from Home Bargains, but they had no compost or sawdust, ah well. I also did
this post about Animal Crossing.
