Getting to listen to a new GaGa album on my deathbed.

How lucky am I?!

There’s nothing more satisfying than correctly answering a Jeopardy clue that nobody else can guess!

Quiz me!

Sorry that I let my BFI membership renew annually, mother dear, I didn’t have dying in March 2025 on my calendar!

Stebbi Jak can’t be tamed.

It’s at times like this I dearly miss Sara Aalto!

Iceland’s answer to Jedward?

Come to think of it, what if Blaze has been stealing the floor cleaner to create content for her Crimesborough podcast. I mean, what are people tuning in for now that Hellfire Holly is over?

I do so hate the merchandisification of the Matt Smith era, though. The day they stop waving around that sonic dick we’ll all be happier (I imagine Capaldi said I’m not doing that shit)!

I feel like I should say “aside from the Neil Gaiman episode” but Surrane Jones is cracking in that episode. Ignore the fact the doctor wants to fuck his car, of course the Tardis looked and sounded like that with how many British ladies the doctor brought inside her!

I got Premium on ITVX, it was actually worth it, all that stuff with no ads. Things are added as soon as they air (or before). I don’t expect the service to be around for very long. They’ll be uploading Corrie and Emmerdale to YouTube for free in the near future, like Hollyoaks, I imagine.

Well, we did it. We got past THAT episode. Even aside from its content, it’s the worst episode of the Matt Smith run so far. All that build up with 7 great episodes, only to come back with that. Truly awful, punishable by guillotine if you ask me! Anyway, it can only get better now, right… right?!

Oh look, an Ugly Betty rewatch podcast. Come on, Ellen DeGeneres, give us the Ellen rewatch podcast. Your standup career is not going anywhere! Remind people why they used to like you, and in the pantheon of bad people in the world currently, Ellen is small potatoes!

But that doesn’t even make sense because she’s still vocally butt-hurt about Seb. There was literally zero development of her cooling off after Seb. A part of me thinks they had to hastily write the actor out of the show, it’s the only explanation as to why this is coming across so weird.

From this outsider’s perspective, Fallon took one look at Krista and was activated like a KGB agent to start destroying her life. No sane, rational person would stay in a city they didn’t intend to visit to plan the wedding of a sibling that they don’t even like - it’s like she fell for Leo on sight

There didn’t need to be this ridiculous setup of ex-fiancée Fallon following Seb to Erinsborough, perchance witnessing him kiss Krista the day he left and then letting him leave. Girl, if he’s your boyfriend and you’re so in love with him, go follow him! There’s nothing left for you in Erinsborough.

Whilst we’re on the topic of Fallon, I get that she’s just written to be a Cousin Emily character (IYKYK), but skip to the part where she’s after Leo. It is much more believable she would have come to Erinsborough specially to visit Krista and then fallen for Leo, he’s a very handsome character.

I think Fallon was cast purely for the fact she’s sounds exactly like 2004 flavour Mischa Barton. I can close my eyes and I’m right back in The OC!

Don’t know where I can boast about this because it’s still early days, but yay I’ve started recording my podcast. All I have to do is not die before I reach episode six and I’ll have beaten Shannen Doherty!

We haven’t heard hide nor hair of Willow during “The New Chapter” have we? Does that mean she has to stay in Colac if she wants to see Hugo?

Same! To me, three hundred characters is not tweeting, three hundred characters is enough to make a consciously succinct blog post that has depth and conveys more emotion. Look at that, still got one hundred and twenty characters left, I could go on forever and ever and ever and I’ll shut up now!

maybe I can get a refund

I’m a little confused why it wants me to subscribe for a minimum of 3 months when transferring a playlist only takes 15 minutes? If it does it once, why would I need it in two months time?

Water creatures legitimately sound like names from a childrens game. Seahorse! Starfish! Goldfish! Catfish! Octopus! Compare it to land creatures, like Orangutan. I’m not taking Pufferfish seriously even though it could kill me. But a lynx, I know to be wary of. Tarantula gonna fuck you up.

Here’s the thing with Finland this year… it’s in the wrong key. It probably will qualify, but I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t. Just the structure of the song in that key makes it more flat and boring than the performance suggests (same thing happened to the UK song last year).

But as far as I’m aware, Rose never comes back, so that’s such a shitty end for her, especially as now Ten is Fourteen and is just chilling with Donna. Go clean up your messy offspring which includes your daughter - which fair, you don’t know she’s alive but still… deadbeat dad!

Donna’s brain overload just conveniently is fine waiting whilst all of that happens and Ten just goes zzz, off to sleep, you have no say in the matter. Ugh. Ick. It’s screaming control of womens bodies. At least I know we get a resolution with Donna where she tells him should’ve let her decide!

Rose coming back, which is handled terribly. Ten creates his own progeny which he then deems as too volatile so he banishes him to the other universe and then says Rose not only are you staying there too, you need to raise this man baby but you’ll enjoy it because you can have sex and die together!?

I finished S4 last night. Such an ambitious attempt which both succeeds and falls flat on its face. After such a killer run of episodes (even the one without Donna), to then relegate Donna into the Tardis for the most part, nearly killing her off, then she gets upgraded but it’s kind of overshadowed

Hmm, I’m hoping there is some tool that can copy my Spotify playlists over to YouTube Music (it’s only 2 playlists but each with 10,000 songs).

She essentially does Wandavision and Agatha All Along all wrapped up in two 45 minute episodes. And the way it ends, like she knows something bad is coming for her, but she accepts it (she doesn’t go on a murder spree, Wanda). I love Donna. I might just cry if I ever met Catherine Tate.
