The cruelty of racist white men.

[brb-on-pluto]

everyone is always acting like there is some crisis of human interaction with one another because everyone is overly sensitive to how strangers approach them and like. no actually its because nobody has any fucking manners. social etiquette has legitimately vanished. it makes interacting with strangers miserable because people don’t know how to fucking behave in public.

like it is rude to stare. it is rude to point. it is rude to have a loud phone conversation in a quiet place. it’s rude to listen to music or videos or whatever on your device with no headphones on a loud volume, or at any volume in an enclosed or quiet space. these are rude things to do. like i’m sorry while some etiquette is silly, an acceptable level of decorum is necessary to make existing in public bearable for everybody…….it is LITERALLY common courtesy

Was this episode a bit out there in terms of plot? Yes, but when isn't Doctor Who? Was this episode a little political? Yes, but when isn't Doctor Who? Could it be said it was a little "cringey"? Yes, but when isn't Doctor Who? My only major criticism of the story is that after saying "babies", every time it was then corrected by "Space Babies!" which got old, very, very fast. (+ the weird cgi on the babies mouthes).

Did I find the monster for the episode to be a bit odd? Yes. But it's nice to see a new monster, that will very likely not be a recurring villain for their first outing outside of a special.

First episode of Doctor Who I've *enjoyed* in a long while. Whilst I appreciate some of Chibnall's writing - it often isn't for me, too clunky, too tell don't show.

I'm really excited to see what comes next with Gatwa's fifteenth Doctor. And very excited to see him handle some recurring monsters. Also, loving the recurring snowflakes and lead back to the day of Ruby's birth. I'm interested to see where this plot goes.

Loved seeing Golda in a different type of role than what I am used to seeing her in (which is mostly her role as Queen Charlotte). And loved seeing Mollie Gibson as Ruby Sunday!

Gorgeous, gorgeous music by Murray Gold. Gorgeous, gorgeous direction.

Not sure what's going on with the Susan Twist cameos, I wonder what it's all leading up to and wait with anticipation!

Welcome to my Blog! I'm Pluto. Here I post reviews of various media, this is mostly for my own benefit - so I can remember what to rewatch and what I'm good watching only the once. But, if you find any benefit from them, I'm glad.

For Context of what I'm watching -

I'm a UK based person in their early 20s, I've grown up on the internet and I'm obsessed with shows like Doctor Who, Shameless (US) and Taskmaster (UK). And my favourite Films are Gods Own Country, Mamma Mia and Glass Onion.

I find pictures from my posts online and are not my own, I try to make sure not to use anything that has been edited by anyone but if I have accidentally used your edit please DM me and I will remove it.

I have never been more angry at a woman, person or company as I am at Paula Vennels and The Post Office.

The amount of people who will never get justice from the lies and sentences pushed by the Post Office.

This happened during my lifetime, my 10th birthday being a date directly referenced in the series. And I had no clue this travesty of justice was happening.

Great acting by all in this series omg - so so good.

Toby Jones was incredible. All the actors were. The friendship between Alan and Jo was so well done.

Oh, and the events depicted are still ongoing - Justice for the SubPostmasters.

(I know this is based on a book that because of the way its written gives a different perspective and this is not about said book)

Part of what makes this film so good because you *know* what the outcome has to be, but up until the end your hoping for it to be different.

If only communication was a thing, and Snow wasn't psychotic.

Also a beautiful beautiful film. With beautiful beautiful music.

Forever in love with Hunter Schafer.

I want to see all the different Hunger Games, give me Mags, give me Haymitch, give me Finnick.

If a man ever referred to *me* and our child as "little one", divorce.

Props to Spaeny for doing such a good job at playing a 14 year old in love with a 24 year old.
