The weekend ended up being more low energy than I expected. That was cause I woke up Saturday and mum had a fall messing outside (she’s fine thankfully but I’ve always told her not to do anything out there unless I’m downstairs to hear her) and then ugh. She decided that the best thing to do would be to argue. There’s stuff she wants doing in the house but, as always, she wants all of them doing at the same time. I tell her to prioritise them, or give me space to do them and it’s like I’m asking the world from her.
It’s frustrating cause this is a repeated thing that happens every few months but she doesn’t care to actually do these things.
Thus I came back from walking the dog, messed upstairs until I exhausted myself and stayed there all day and until lunch the next day.
Yesterday was also fairly uneventful, bar watching the next Doctor Who boxset ep (more on that later) but I didn’t do much of what I’d hoped this weekend. I only watched that and an episode of Ghost Files Saturday night (and the standard gaming stuff).
I did get credits rolled on Tomodachi life though there’s still things to do.i hope they add an update with more stuff (more quirks, more inventory space for people, more unlockables) but I need to add more people.
This morning was spent trying to chase up my hospital appointment (still no answers but had three different numbers to call). One of the calls even said I’d been discharged despite the referral and not being told. The third call did say that was wrong and to chase it up but still…
There was mail this morning, which was the rest of the comic book day comics (I’ve not read them yet or even checked them) and my second intentional 4K which was for Cold Storage. The hmv exclusive does have its own cover and a set of cards… but there’s no special features listed which is odd. Maybe there is something when I watch, but it’s annoying if there’s nothing, (Clown In A Cornfield was odd like that too).
Last night was the next in the Who ray run which was… Caves Of Androzani.
People consider this a classic and… I’m not entirely sure why. It’s so grim, virtually every character is unlikeable (and all but two people end up dead).
The Doctor and Peri land on the world of Androzani Minor. In the process of exploring they end up in a cave system and find out that this world produces a drunk, Spectrox, with life extending properties. However the facilities have been commandeered by a man named Sharaz Jek. Jek has been betrayed by a buisness an on Androzani Major and that’s led to a conflict. Oh and unrefined, the spectrox is toxic.
Like I said pretty much everyone in this is unpleasant. Much like Vengeance Of Varos (from the next season) it’s one of those eps that’s so grim you want it to end sooner. Sharaz Jek is kinda sympathetic as a man betrayed by someone he trusted (leaving him scarred) and his outfit does look good but… he spends a good chunk of time leering over Peri.
Morgus, the businessman is awful. He’s amoral, killing people just because they’re an inconvenience. And he has this… odd way of talking that’s… hard to describe. It’s kinda flat and very off putting (with random asides to camera too, again for some reason? Apparently the actor just did them not understand stage directions and they kept them in)
The only good parts are towards the end, both with Morgus. First his secretary telling him gleefully that she’s took over his buisness and ket the government know his crimes. Second it’s when he confronts Jek and ends up dead for his trouble.
The end of the ep has the doctor (after managing to get poisoned along with Peri at the start) dying of the poisoning, regenerating into the sixth doctor (oh boy) but at least the regeneration brings Tegan, Turlough, Nyssa and Adric back (oh and Kamleion’s there too I guess).
Gonna watch the special features tonight then the next ep (whenever that’ll be) is the last of the season, The Twin Dilemma. Is it as bad as people think? I guess we’ll see
