shadowhiveLast night ended up being semi restful. I was mostly low energy from the day though so that was annoying.
I did watch strictly and the opening with Steps was really great! I had no idea they had a a musical (or maybe I’did and forgotten) so I’m curious what that could be. While it was good no one went home I did feel so incredibly sad it was because La Voix couldn’t do any more. They were so fun and funny it really sucks, especially after them being so excited to get to Blackpool last week.
After that Iput on the next Strange New Worlds ep which featured the gorn. Or rather it shown the aftermath of them attacking a colony and their ships attacking the enterprise, but you didn’t actually see one. I think it was a great idea to keep them so mysterious like that and I think they are in the series again so maybe they will be shown then. But it was a really good ep.
Then I finished the Wildhood special features which were pretty good. There was only 3 deleted scenes and they were pretty short (Pasmay was only in one but he was shirtless so) and the behind the scenes stuff was cute. (The trans actor got to meet one of the other actors who they really loved which was sweet.compare that with Joshua talking about how Pasmay was a sexual being and attracted to Link from the start) they did make me wanna watch it again so I’ll have to at some point but I think it’s been too soon.
I do have a storage tower I picked up before I had the sickness/glasses issues (so I’ve not fully sorted it like I’d hoped) and I’ve intended the top shelf is for fave blu rays. So far that’s Dungeons And Dragons Honour Among Thieves, Ghostwatch, Mamma Mia, the Sonic films (I still need to watch 3), Wildhood and the first It. (
Today has been a low energy day (mum didn’t even call about walking Naryu) which has been good, so it’s mostly been spent snuggling Midna and bundled. I watched Glass Onion, which is one of those films I’ve meant to see for awhile but not. It was really good, I loved the puzzle boxes at the start and there’s a reveal part way through which really ups it but it’s best to go in blind so I won’t say what that is. But also ahhAngela Lansbury playing Among Us at the start is an awesome concept too.
Since it was Doctor Who day today I did end up putting on the next of the blu ray eps, The Android Invasion.
It’s got a good concept, an alien race planning to invade but sending android duplicates of people first (and having a copy of a village to try them out on). The whole deserted village is unsettling, then the little details (like coins all dates the same day, the androids being motionless sometimes) is just so creepy.
It’s especially creepy when Sarah Jane is replaced. There’s a few subtle ways of telling she’s not real, but the doctor saying it and her face coming off (which is a pretty good effect!) is so creepy. And then an image later of her rising from a pod like a vampire from a coffin…
The Kraals are a bit less effective and I think, like the making of describes, it’s down to the look. (Especially how one is meant to be a surgeon but his hands don’t seem too dexterous!) but I felt the actor playing Guy, a human they captured, was pretty good. (Though I had been bugged by the thought I’d seen him before but couldn’t place it, he was the Castellan from Invasion Of Time.) It being the last ep for both Benton and Harry did feel a disservice to them both. It felt like neither really did much, but we’re just there to be ‘look there’s an ally of the doctor! Oh no he’s been replaced’. It’s a shame cause they were both good characters.
(One of the special features on the disc is a new tribute to Harry’s actor and i can tell it’ll give me feels)
Tomorrow is gonna be ugh. Mum’s friend is coming which is annoying and I’ll have to go into town which I’ve not done for months but maybe I’ll get some good stuff from Iceland, though I’d rather just stay home and not have to go at all.
The rest of the week is gonna be all over the place. I wanna finish up Pokémon ZA, I might have a cinema trip, but I also have a uni assessment to work on (and worry money might be an issue if so that’ll be put back a week). Plus there’s Stranger Things but I dunno which day I’ll start watching, hopefully I’ll start it before the weekend starts. (But I also wanna watch It chapter 2 and the thanksgiving blu ray so who knows)

Date: 2025-11-26 09:30 pm (UTC)A yeah Sarah Jane was one of the best parts! Elizabeth’s acting as both was so great. Yeah I saw he was in that too when I looked him up!I’ll have to rewatch it sometime. I saw it on Monday night and it did give me feels, especially at the end. He’d hpjsut done an interview a few weeks before he died and he was so full of life and eager to write more 🥺 it really is so sad
