shadowhiveThe past few days have been a bit off. My head’s felt a bit headachy and off, which I think is down to the storms that have rolled in the past few nights. It’s meant I’ve neither got back to Resident Evil 2 or watched anything on shudder like I was going to (the latter especially last night when I ended up zoning out instead)
Sigh.
There has been some Who related stuff though. On Wednesday (unexpectedly early) the new Doctor Who magazine came. I’ve not had much chance to look through it yet (just the review of season 9) but I might do it soon. I am annoyed that I was holding off on doing the 3rd and 4th Doctor ranking thing cause of season 9 cause that’s closed now and it’s now 5th and 6th, which is annoying cause there really needs to be a 5th Doctor boxset soon.
One of the past nights I also put in one of the Who audios that was on BBC sounds lately, which is the the first part of the last War Doctor set with John Hurt before he passed. But fuck was it so depressing, with the start and end having the daleks being cunts and just… ugh. It was depressing. I’m hoping the other two stories are better, because they have Leela.
I also heard back from Lost In Time’s support and they say they’re gonna look into it so maybe I can get my progress back? But I’m not hopefully. The new event also seems kinda strange too, though kudos for them trying something different I guess.
Since mum’s kindle acted up and she didn’t wanna take it to get fixed she got a new one (luckily the Amazon sale crossed over with her money going in) and it came yesterday, just after we ate. It’s odd though, because as soon as I opened it all I did was select language and country…. And somehow it had access to the account and wi-fi without me putting in the info for either. How did it do that? Did it somehow sync with the old one or maybe the tv? Either way it’s… odd.
That’s it really I haven’t done much else (ep other than Fortnite event stuff). I did try and go back to the thing I started ficcing Monday but I can’t seem to word it right for some reason. Maybe I’ll look at something else later.
Brief Picard thoughts ahoy.
This weeks episode felt odd in a few ways and I think it shows a lot of the oddness of the season overall. First off it didn’t payoff from the last secede of the last ep, so Troi (and Riker) don’t appear at all which feels like a waste and another disservice to Troi. Then there’s another returning character, this time Tuvok, only he’s a changeling (fuck I hope the real Tuvok is alright). And then… well.
I just can’t help but thinking how this season’s whole arc, involving changelings in such a big way, would have worked better as a direct DS9 follow up. It just feels like it’s transferring so much from there (the changelings, the dominion war, the changeling virus) that it feels odd there’s no one from that series other than Worf (and again, he isn’t even in this one!).
At least we get some backstory on Vadic and how she got her new abilities. However we still don’t know who she’s answering to, especially since it seems like they might not even be a changeling. Also how she acts around Jack is… strange as well.
At least we got a nice scene between Geordi and Data (though of course Lore took over at the worst possible time).
I guess we’ll see how next week’s plays out.
Tomorrow it’s the trip to the cinema to see Dungeons And Dragons, because it looks so fun. (I am jealous of people in America AMC seems to have d20 popcorn buckets and tankards which looks so cool!) the plan is to go in a few places too, maybe have McDonald’s as well and make it a nice day. As long as it’s not terrible weather again
It’s also the first day of April (already??) so hopefully I’ll post the first AMA and the monthly round up before I go in the morning. And then at night there’s MCC which I’ll likely end up watching Ranboo.
I’m sure I was gonna say something else but it’s gone out my head.
Sigh.

I did!

Date: 2023-04-03 01:28 pm (UTC)I’ve enjoyed the season so far but it does seem to have an odd kind of vibe. It very much feels like it should be been a Deep Space Nine follow up rather than a TNG one
