#who are like “wtf why is there a dead god's bodily fluids is this a biohazard” but they have to take it anyway

[aoxizu]

ok if you think about it zhongli is single-handedly responsible for the flow of currency from rich people (the northland bank)'s pockets back into the local economy (whoever had a historical artifact to sell that day)

zhongli is the reason why trickle-down economics works in liyue, as the money is trickling down from childe and the northland bank into the merchants and regular people of liyue, so as the rich get richer the poor will be brought up alongside because zhongli will be able to spend more

and also the us federal reserve aims for a 2% inflation rate, so zhongli's spending habits from when he had mora could just be him regulating inflation of the liyuean economy

so actually zhongli is great with money and he is supporting an entire economic theory all by himself

without zhongli liyue's economy would get significantly more top-heavy and the wealth disparity gap would increase

i would love to see a whole breakdown on liyue's economy like are their workers unionized do they know what a union is or are they still operating under like serfdom or something

Doctor Who, but Chronologically 22

Turns out, that last one was a two-parter, because now it’s 1893 for the Crimson Horror and we are in Victorian Yorkshire with Matt Smith and Clara and the lizard woman and Catrin Stewart and Strax. We still don’t know wtf is up with Clara, and the Victorian trio spend a lot of time asking, but the Doctor just hand-waves it as ‘complicated’. Honestly, this whole show is complicated, look how many hanging plot threads there still are.

So, this time, Diana Rigg is a Bible-bashing lunatic who wants to bring about an apocalypse using the bodily fluids of a gross red leech thing from the triassic. She is using a diluted version to ‘preserve’ a bunch of people to repopulate the Earth. Her daughter Ada is blind and is played by Rachael Stirling, her from Tipping the Velvet which is also about period lesbians, but also Rachael Stirling is literally Diana Rigg’s daughter in real life, so that must have been a really fun job for both of them. 

Anyway, for a very simple story, the writer and director chose a very good and interesting way to tell it by jumping around in the timeline a bit - the Scottish lizard and her wife and the Welsh potato are the stars of the episode initially, trying to find and save the Doctor. Jenny (Catrin Stewart pretending to be English) gets to beat up a bunch of men in a catsuit at one point, for which I am always a slut. Then the Doctor and Clara take over for the second half. In the end they save the day by Strax shooting Diana Rigg over a bannister, and then Ada beats the leech to death with her stick. Overall a really fantastic campy episode, loved it.

Shout out to one of the more charismatic supporting casts we’ve seen, too - there’s a guy who is trying to investigate and gets the Victorian Trio involved, and his role in this story is play his part with quiet dignity and solemnity and then to undermine it by fainting when confronted with aliens. So he does this on seeing Vastra, Strax, and the dematerialising TARDIS. In actuality I think Victorian freakshows would have inured the man to this sort of thing but fuck it, I laughed like a goose, the actor nailed it. ALSO, THAT MORTICIAN. My god. Did he need to play the role Like That? No. Was it reflected in the script? Also no. But my god, WHAT a character. What a performance! Adored him. I almost want more Victorian Yorkshire episodes just for him.

A side note - having watched so many period episodes in a row now, it’s becoming very obvious that they’re reusing the same few sets and then just claiming they’re different places. Honestly, it’s almost like the show was never remotely intended to be viewed this way.

Anyway, not too much plot here, though at the end of the episode we learn that this version of Clara is a nanny and her charges have inexplicably worked out that she’s a time traveller and have assembled photos. Also one photo is Clara from the last episode, so she’s now confused as to when she was in Victorian London. But... that’s about it. No further questions, no further answers.

Let’s check the list!

“She” (an unknown person) is returning (perhaps River returned as Missy. Maybe Me? Maybe Clara???!)

There is something on Donna’s back

An entire planet, Pyrovilia, just… disappeared, somehow. (Maybe because the TARDIS is exploding??? Saturnine was also lost, and that WAS because of the TARDIS exploding. The lion man’s planet was also lost but he was a bit of a knob about it if I’m honest.)

Amy is maybe dead (she’s not)

The Doctor has been cubed (he’s out, but how?)

River is possibly blown up  (unless she’s Missy)

The TARDIS has blown up  (It’s fine now. Except it’s sort of melting now because it’s corrupted, but it’s fine again)

The universe appears to have ended  (the universe is back again)

The Doctor has employed(?) Nardole (And Nardole was “reassembled???”)

There’s a vault in the TARDIS and it contains Missy but we don’t know why (sometimes she knocks for the bants)

What has happened to all these companions and where are the new ones coming from?

There’s an immortal Viking girl now. Her name is Me and she’s now looking after the people the Doctor abandons

Who/what is the Half-Faced Man that the Doctor talked about?

Why, when the Doctor saw the ship’s computer set to the Promised Land, did he say “Oh not again”?

What’s With The Silence?

Why was Rory entirely unconcerned by the entire world suddenly going silent when that is Not Normal and should have been, at the very least, extremely disconcerting?

What did the Doctor do to Queen Lizzie One?

Who is Captain Jack Harkness? (Is he the one who gave the companions a warning about the lone cyberman?)

Why is Amy seeing a one-eyed woman in a vanishing window?

What’s with the Doctor’s future involving getting shot by an astronaut?

Is Amy pregnant and why is it inconclusive?

Who is Sarah-Jane Smith?

How is the Doctor Bill’s teacher and why/where does he have an office?

What is going on with the Cyber War and the Cyberium???

Who did the Doctor lose to Cyber Conversion?

What happened with the Other Cyber War?

What happened with the Third War that deleted the void?

Why does Rose seem particularly important?

What’s with the statues you mustn’t blink at?

What order do these Doctors go in? (Eccleston, Tennant, uncertain.)

Which companion just... forgot the Doctor, and how?

What is the Flux and what did it do?

Who is the mysterious Victorian man who met Yaz?

Yaz and Vinder are about to die as Mori/Mwri/Muuri

There is a Lupari shield around Earth.

What’s a Time War?

What’s the Rift?

What’s Bad Wolf?

What happened with Amy’s pregnancy?

In which war did the Doctor become a war criminal, and how?

Who is the Master?

Why has Amy forgotten Rory?

Is Rory plastic or not?

Why is the Doctor sulking on a cloud?

How exactly does the Doctor have a cloud?

What exactly happened with Strax to, uh, tame him?

Which friend killed Strax?

Which friend brought Strax back?

Where did this lesbian lizard and human couple come from?

What happened with Clara as Souffle Girl and the Daleks?

How does Clara actually join?

Why so many Claras?

My mum's reactions to 9-1-1 episode 3, Next of Kin

Opening scene, dad attempts to look cool getting into bouncy house: Mum: "There's a reason adults shouldn't jump around in those."

The wind picks up taking the bouncy house with it: "Oh god it went flying! How strong are the winds in L.A.? Shit!"

The team arrive, hen and buck rescue the kids from the cliff:  "Oh thank God the kids are fine. Although I wasn't actually expecting them to kill off little kids this isn't game of thrones, sex scenes aren't nearly naked enough." Omg mum 😂

Athena finds May has overdosed: "Probably the scariest thing that a parent could ever go through." These scenes are very hard on my mum.

I don't feel comfortable writing what she says about this part of the episode because of how personal it is.

Chimney pretending to cook take out got made her laugh. Which is good since the last scenes made her cry. Mum already doesn't like Tatiana:

"Why does Chimney lie about his job to his girlfriend? Oh, to impress her that's sad."

Chimney purposes: "Oh no he's not is he, oh dear."

Buck and Hen playing video games at the station: "I used to love watching you and it brother play games together. Until you started fight of course."

She says "fight" like I had a chance against my brother who's been bigger and heavier than me since I was 10 and he was 8. He used to push me off the sofa and sit on my back until I'd give him the controller, the cheat!

Bobby's ranting to Chimney about faking himself for Tatiana: mum nodding along to what Bobby says, "He's right."

Chimney storms off: "That is not going to end well." My mum is clearly psychic 😉

Chimney driving angry down the motorway, dodging cars and overtaking the truck: "There is going to be in an accident isn't he?"

The truck runs straight into the back of Chimney's car: "Ha I knew it." 😅

The team arrive on scene and the camera pans out to show Chimney pinned to his seat with the rebar through his head: Jesus! WTF!? That so gross ugh."

Chimney's brain surgery: a lot of grossed out noises.

You'd think having been a nurse and career my mum would be unfazed by blood and gore, she's dealt with the care of dead bodies, all the bodily fluids, broken bones and still even small cuts make her squeamish. I'll admit I'm having a lot of fun watching her gross out. I'm evil I know 😈

The families locked in the back of the truck storage unit and slowly dying in the heat: Some very choice swear words. This scene made her (and me) super mad.

Unfortunately last year in the UK around 39 migrants died in a truck like this after being left in an over crowded in an refrigerated trailer, the driver and several others have arrested for 39 counts of manslaughter.

Just the idea someone would leave people to die like that disgusts the both of us so much.

Hen taking down the driver when he tries to make a run for it had my mum cheering.

Abby phones Buck: "Why does he keep picking up on calls? Why doesn't Abby wait until he's not at work. Shouldn't she know it's potentially dangerous for him to get distracted whenever his phone goes off."

This gets me as well, like clearly in this scene he's not in the middle of a rescue but still, I think my mum's point stands.

Abby's brother trying to get her to put their mom in a care facility and abby talking to Carla later about wanting to keep her mum with her: As mentioned before my mum has worked with patients who have Alzheimer's and their families. She doesn't have much to say about Abby and her mum this episode only that both siblings have very valid arguments over their mother's care.

Final scene, the team visiting Chimney at the hospital: After the surgery scene mum's pretty relieved that Chimney didn't die and chokes up a little when Bobby takes Chimney's hand.

Final thoughts: pretty good episode and happy to see that the May and Athena cliffhanger from 1x02 didn't end tragically.

Mum is still pretty excited to keep watching so more reactions to come soon😊
