An iconic episode. I’m so glad and grateful that we ended up with this instead of the Sappho musical.
*talking about the ending scene with the poem*
RENEE: “That was nice. It was a really beautiful moment. The poem was really sweet. And you know, just talking about love and friendship and uh…”
*looks at Lucy rolling her eyes and making faces*
LUCY: “Blah, blah, blah.”
RENEE: “Let’s get right back to the scene, I know. And that’s so us.”
LUCY: “That’s what the character was doing, right?”
RENEE: “That’s exactly us though. I’m like the romantic and Lucy’s like “yeah, yeah, get over it.”
These two make me smile. So much chemistry years and years after the show had finished filming. ☺️😚
And yes, Ren’s right. That’s exactly them as a dynamic and their characters’ dynamic. Storm and sunshine.

Me, a casual viewer of BFU: True Crime and Puppet History, clicking on the Making Watcher playlist: Oh, its so nice that the boys got to start their own company :)
Me, 40 minutes later, no longer a causal viewer after seeing Ryan Bergara talk about his anxiety and then almost cry on camera because he is so happy that his friend agreed to work at his new company:

I wonder how the trial will be framed on the show because the optics of Louis and Claudia both having to testify for themselves against Lestat, a rich white Frenchman, in front of a mostly white audience, is pretty glaring. On the one hand it could be done as a commentary of how two Black vampires have to defend themselves for going against their white maker, all the while replaying the trauma of what happened (Claudia's "It's never been about me!", having to repeat the point firstly said by Lestat and then indirectly 'proven' to her by Louis' actions). On the other hand, depending on how its shot and written, it could just as easily verge on exploitative for the sake of audience shock (both the theater's and the show's in general). And this goes doubly for the show's framing of the interview (Louis remembering things now as he relays his information to Daniel, a white journalist who also mirrors him in many ways).

suffered through a rewatch of Power of Three and Dinosaurs on a Spaceship last night and I wanted to scream the entire time. I am nobody and have never run a 60-year-old television show. but. Chris Chibnall does not know how to write. he is bad at it. he is bad at it. who gave him control of the entirety of Doctor Who? why? he had Amy narrate the first and last scenes of Power of Three like she's in some kind of early-2000's romcom because he doesn't know how to write dialogue or how to show-not-tell. the last line of Power of Three sounds like a preteen who has no idea how to end her oneshot fanfic and I know this because I have been one and I would never have let 12-year-old me write a single episode of an actual show on tv. the Silurians are a crutch. the Doctor got sucked into a Wii game? Kate Lethbridge-Stewart has zero personality outside of the Brigadier. Brian is an empty, emotional-exposition robot. who let this man run the entire show for years, I want names and addresses-
