Tables don’t work like that
So in the last non fic post I hoped I’d watch the last Stranger Things but that didn’t happen. It’s not happened partly because of tiredness/eyes aching, feeling flop causa the weather and speedrunning the ESO quests for the free reward (of a fancy house). So hopefully I’m gonna watch it this week most likely tomorrow.
But also yay I did actually manage to do some ficcing at last which was unexpected but at least it’s something (and I am pleased how it’s worked out).
The last few days haven’t been too exciting though, bar watching various things on tv. Good things have been a travel documentary with David Suchet where he follows Agatha Christie’s travels, Walking With Dinosaurs (with a cute lil triceratops) and Death Valley which was a fun new detective thing. And also I’ve been back to listening to a bunch of Night Vale eps too which has been fun.
Mums friend was meant to be coming Saturday which was a concern (especially cause it was a last minute thing) but she also cancelled last minute so thst was good.
Saturday was spent sidetracked by Wallace And Gromit (and Shaun The Sheep) on bbc1. It’s funny to have found out that the mention of Wensleydale in A Close Shave actually ended up saving the company (which was close to closing). The Shaun the sheep ep was a fun lil multiverse one and then there was Vengeance Most Fowl which I still say is one of last year’s best films cause it’s so funny. (And Feathers McGraw manages to be an amazing villian despite having no lines.)
Sunday ended up being one of those weird low energy Sundays, which was annoying but at least there was a good tv.
Then today I had to run down and take back one of the things mum picked up last week (which didn’t fit) and pick something up but it was tiring and I got hit with rain ugh. But at least I got a cool mandalorian mystery mini (of Bo Katan) and aldi had the nice mayonnaise I’ve been missing.
(As always I’m sure I’m missing something I meant to say but…)
And now the, slightly belated, thoughts on Doctor Who, Wish Wirld.
Wish World is an odd one to give thoughts on, primarily cause it’s the first part of a two parter and some of the issues/questions I have about it might be resolved next week.
Let’s look at the Wish World itself. There was something so off about it from the start (and I’m not just talking about the bone palace and the giant dinosaur skeleton things) but the heteronormative ness, homophobia and ableism of the society quickly became apparent and that just made me hate Conrad even more, it also makes me wonder why the Rani would associate with someone who is pretty obviously a misogynist and I feel sure that she’ll bpkill him when he’s outlived his usefulness.
(Also it’s strange how this whole world got set up so quickly, like this is meant to be the same day Belinda wanted to get home so how’d this happen? But then again maybe that’s also why certain people can through the lie of it)
Then there’s the Rani and I generally liked her vibe but at the same time her plan feels strange. Like why does she want to bring Omega back and restore Gallifrey? The Rani was banished from Gallifrey so why does she want it back? I’m sure it’ll be made clear next week, at least I hope so. Though I do feel Mrs Flood will turn against her (though again what was her deal?).
However, we also got my boy back! Rogue appeared briefly on a screen from wherever he got.sent which was a surprise (and made me squee!) but of course it raised more questions. Why does he know to send the doctor that warning? How is he able to send it? Again it’s something that raised further questions but I’m glad it means he’s not been forgotten and hope he’ll return properly.
The main worry though is that this whole thing cause have raised to much, with stopping the Rani’s plan, Omega possibly returning and what’s the deal with Rogue (and Susan) suddenly showing up. I feel it’s likely that some of those will be left as threads for season 3 but I guess we’ll see.
So yeah it does feel like it has potential but it all depends on the payoffs that’ll happen in the second part. A great part one can easily be undone by a weaker part 2 so fingers crossed.
Also I’ve got a £5 Amazon prime video credit randomly so does anyone have any recs?
