Chap with the wings there, five rounds rapid

[shadowhive]

Hope everyone has had a nice easter weekend. I’ve only had one of my eggs, a Galaxy one, but I built some Lego. Saturday I built the new AAT with Ahsoka (it seems a little small and the main cannon is too big but otherwise it’s cool) and an Easter bunny yesterday (which is so cute!)

Saturday was spent watching Castle, but I also put on a film and settled on Ratatouille which I’d never seen before. It was pretty funny and I liked it, though the end was a little sad.

On the night I put on The Dæmons, which I split over Saturday and Sunday nights (cause I was tired). It has a lot of good things to it, the white witch, Benton and Yates getting stuff to do and the Brigadier being in his dress uniform in the first ep. Plus there was the famous five rounds rapid line (which has actually become the name of a trope on tv tropes, I wonder how many tropes are named after who things) and there being a BBC 3 channel featuring is oddly prescient (albeit it didn’t come around for decades). And I always knew Morris dancers were creepy.

There were some things that I didn’t quite like. The doctor did seem pretty grumpy and the dæmons themselves didn’t get fully explained (plus that ending seemed odd).

I watched the special features on the disc, so now there’s only two special features disc left (one with more Dæmons stuff, one with more general stuff) which I‘ll likely watch soon.

Also yesterday was Midsommer Murders which was pretty good, though the TV guide is right the mask of the killer did look like something from the last singer. And seeing Mark Williams naked was... unexpected. (Although there was an odd focus on a Lego glamping set which was appropriate considering the ep featured it.)

My tummy did feel annoying yesterday though which was, ugh. And I couldn’t seem to settle at night either. Hopefully today is better in that regard.

I’m gonna snuggle and watching stuff now, maybe write and go on Story of seasons (and likely game more tonight since there’s no Maxx stream).

Hope your stomach is feeling better now.

I had an okay weekend, didn't buy any Easter Eggs though so no chocolate for me. You'd think a plague of locusts had gone through the seasonal aisle in Asda when I called in at the end of last week. There wasn't an egg to be seen.

A little, it comes and goes

Oh wow! There was hardly any at the co op the last time I went. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised it’s worse at bigger onrs

I love The Dæmons despite how grumpy and sarcastic the Doctor is at times. (And how underwhelming Azal is!) I so enjoy watching Benton and Yates getting to run around and Do Stuff and I have a very weak spot for Stg Osgood. I wish he was in more adventures! And Miss Hawthorn is totally awesome! I firmly believe that Benton become Mr Hawthorn some time after that adventure :-) (Why don't I have a Benton icon?!!)

I hope your tummy is better by now. *sends it lots of calming thoughts*

Yeah that’s true! It’s a shame Azal is only really shown towards the end and is so... as you say disappointing. Yeah that was good! They got to all the stuff because it was do-wrote by the producer so he knew their strengths. It’s a shame Osgood isn’t in more though it seems the new who Osgood is related to him (and he’s appeared more in third doctor comics as a result) abs aww that’s sweet

I hope so too, it comes and goes
