I think you need someone to stop you
Dec. 20th, 2022 07:59 pmToday I continued the Who Christmas run with The Runaway Bride.
Bride starts something that becomes a tradition of Who Christmas eps: that Christmas eps have one off companions. This one features Donna, who goes on to return as a companion in season 4. She’s the titular bride, although it’s less runaway (which implies choice) more… I dunno.
It’s a bit of a sad ep, being right after Rose left and Donna is kinda abrasive at the start (understandably so, she was ‘abducted’ from her wedding and it just gets worse from there) though she does soften over the ep.
Unlike the last one the Doctor is in it a lot more which is great. Although at the end he does… almost go too far (which we see the result of if he had, surprisingly, a few seasons later)
The villain here is the racnoss, an ancient spider race(ugh, though the whole costume is impressive) though Lance is a much more human villain (what an utter fucking bastard he was)
Unanswered question of the ep: Where were the Torchwood employees running the facility? Was it all automated? Were the robots running it?

Other thing now.
Update on shed kitty. I wasn’t able to check the shed yesterday, but today I went down and they were there again (or there still?) I couldn’t see if they ate the food because the food pot was gone. I did take some more food back down, but they were nowhere to be seen (I still left it though)
Last night I did some more on The Quarry, doing chapter one. I did make the choice I’ve seen no one make and the result is different enough to make me wonder if it makes something else change too. I’m hoping to do more later.
Net has been flickers still, which is annoying. It’s likely due to the cold but still, it’s annoying.
I found out that the Magnus archives is getting a sequel, called The Magnus Protocol which is coming out next year. There was a kickstarter that I managed to get in (to do a small amount) but it’ll be coming out for free like archives was (starting next October).
I also did icons on the laptop this morning. Problem was I found out my mouse wasn’t working cause the… thing (receiver?) was somehow damaged. Ugh. I haven’t switched the icons round yet though
