I'm loving Cloudward, Ho! But my favorite part so far has been Emily grappling with the fact she married a man named Brian

There are two types of big British celebrity guest stars on Doctor Who

Already very famous and are guest staring because they are fans of the show or because they respect it as a pillar of British television

or

2. It's one of their first roles and they blow up after their appearance

This was spurred on by the fact that I rewatched both Planet of the Dead and Time Heist and they guest star Daniel Kaluuya and Jonathan Bailey respectively

I'm going to be honest Midnight never scared me, I thought it was a good episode but I never found it scary.

The Well however scared the shit out of me. Something about the Midnight Entity peaking around Aliss's shoulder deeply unsettled me.

Belinda calling the Doctor out really took me out of the episode, and I don’t mean that as a criticism

I’ve been watching Doctor Who since I was 11, to me traveling through time and space has always been a fantasy

I was so charmed by the Doctor that it never crossed my mind to question his behavior

[sadcat360]

Totally thought it was gonna be fraternal twins with each of them being a father

Everyone’s talking about how much Katniss is similar to Haymitch, but his INTERVIEW? That was Peeta Mellark.

[sadcat360]

me: man, most d20 fans don't even know that Bayley was the winner of the first ever WWE women's main event match, or that Kofi was the first Black WWE world champion of the modern era, or that he and Xavier were part of one of the most beloved wrestling stables ever, also me: but, and i mean this in the best way possible, this is a very good summation of Chelsea Green

[sadcat360]

katniss: oh my god i cant believe it! we actually stopped president snow AND coin. we can start rebuilding towards something better-

haymitch: me and your dad skinnydipped together

katniss: wha-

haymitch: me and your dad naked in tha water

“Burdock punches him hard in the back of his knee and it’s enough to get him down on the ground and out of the line of fire”

- Katniss’ dad saving Peeta’s dad so their children can one day overthrow the government

I just finished sunrise on the reaping

excuse me while I go stare into the middle distance for a while

Spoilers for Sunrise on the Reaping

Burdock Everdeen dying in that mine explosion is kind of a mercy

But just for him,

Hear me out, one of your best friends gets put in the Hunger Games without even being reaped

Your friend actually wins the Hunger Games, which seems like an impossibility for District 12

He just gets dropped off at a random hour with no announcement or celebration of his return

Then his whole family and girlfriend die under suspicious circumstances

And after that, your friend is completely unrecognizable and he refuses to talk to you about anything that's happened

Cut to 25 years later one of your daughters is going into the games and is going to be mentored by that friend

And you don't want your child to die but do you want her to have that life

The life of a victor

You don't understand how much this ghost show means to me

Here's a list of the School Spirits characters I think smoked cigarettes while they were alive, given the times they were alive.

Mr. Martin: Yes, but only one or two a day. He was probably born in the '20s, his teen years were during the Depression, and he was most likely drafted into WWII. This is peak, "smoking is good for you" era.

Janet: No, she grew up in a very religious household. I could see her father being like, "women shouldn't be allowed to smoke," "It's not ladylike to smoke." Something that is deeply sexist and not smoking is bad for you.

Rhonda: Yes. She was a teen in the 60s. Schools had smoking sections in them. She reads Jack Kerouac. Her lollipops are definitely to make up for the fact she can't smoke anymore.

Yuri: Yes, and he rolls his own.

Wally: Socially, I think he'd have a couple while at a party.

Charley: No, he just doesn't give off the vibes.

Quinn: Yes, but I think she's ashamed of it and if she was still alive I think she would have switched over to vaping.

Xavier: We already know he vapes

Claire: Does not own a vape but takes hits off other people’s vapes

Maddie: No based on what she said to Xavier in s 1 ep 2

Nicole: No

Simon: I think if he had a Zyn he'd feel better

[sadcat360]

Hey so are men named Wally who have blonde girlfriends just doomed by the narrative or something?

Mini School Spirits Season 2 Ep 6 Spoilers

Ok, I'm going to go on a bit of a rant. I AM SO OVER TV SHOWS HAVING CHARACTERS' BIRTH YEARS NOT LINE UP WITH THE GRADE THEY'RE IN.

This is such a pet peeve of mine and I think it comes from the fact that I have a late birthday.

But I was watching the new episode of School Spirits and it confirms that Wally was born in 1965 instead of 1966. And, yes, Wally could have been born in 1965 and still graduated in 1984, because he could have had a birthday in late November/December of 1965 or he could have been held back. But the majority of people who graduated high school in 1984 were born in 1966, not 1965, they would have graduated in 1983.

Because the majority of people turn 18 during the year they graduate not the year before. Like so many TV shows/books do this. They make the character the age that they would be turning that school year before the year starts instead of during the school year.

Like Maddie has the same problem they list her birth year as 2005 when it should be 2006.

I graduated high school at 17 not because I graduated early but because my birthday's in late August, I still turned 18 that year. I was born in 2004 the majority of my classmates were born in 2004. There were very few students who were born in late November/December of 2003. There was one girl who’s birthday was in June of 2003, but that was an odd circumstances because she did a majority of her schooling in a different country and then when she moved to the US they decided to hold her back for some reason. I mention this because it was odd, if she gone to school in the US her whole life she would have graduated the year prior.

Like I have the same problem with PJO because Percy's 12 in 6th grade when he should be 11 or be in 7th grade.

Hopefully, this makes sense.

[sadcat360]

Wally had to have had a girlfriend when he was alive, right? Like there's no way. Captain of the football team, homecoming king, the most popular guy in school in the 1980s. There's no way he didn't.

I don't think that it'll be played for jealousy because there hasn't been a whole lot of that in the show. But I think it would be interesting to see how she differs from Maddie. I also hope it gives Maddie some perspective how understanding Wally has been with her. This is not me saying that I think Maddie is being selfish or a terrible partner. Just to show her what it's been like for Wally to watch her long for her old life.

Also I want Rhonda and Quinn to kiss this episode but that's a separate thought
