I watched the '86 version with the kids recently and it went down a storm. No need to update it.

Yeah, actually to be fair they probably didn’t shoot those scenes on location here. It is explicitly Ireland though - Brendan is shown becoming a Garda, which is this side of the border.

He’s a real guy! The song Cloudbursting is based on a book a guy wrote about his insane dad! Sorry if you already knew this, I only discovered it quite recently!

If Brendan is The Timeless Child then I’m betting his dad and boss are Rassilon and Omega.

It sure is. But the Republic of Ireland, where Brendan’s story is set, is very much not.

No, I think she's Graham's ticket out of the show. He'll stay with her wherever she ends up.

People criticize Moffatt for being all setup and no payoff, but Chibnall can’t even do setup.

Ahem, Ireland is not in the UK.

The doctor never rides the TARDIS into battle (except when they do) which explains that one particular plothole, I guess. 

Indiana Jones and the Troubling Fursona

Apparently Ana de Armas has been working hard on her Marilyn accent. Possibly hoping for one of those Oscars they seem to distribute for Best Celebrity Impersonation each year.

I don’t understand how people believe in Christian heaven but also reincarnation.

Every episode so far (even Orphan 55) has contained some good stuff without ever really coming together. There were some nice character beats in this one and I felt the pacing was a vast improvement on Praxius, and it was all very promising until the wheels started to come off at the end.

It was very similar to the "The Origin of Love" sequence in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

 this actually feels like the most predictable Oscars in years to me. The current odds on the frontrunners range from 1/2 to 1/20 and the other major awards have been pretty unanimous. 1917, Mendes, Phoenix, Zellweger, Pitt and Dern will win the big six. Chances of an upset are vanishingly small.

I thought she was better in Little Women. Just give her an Oscar for being Laura Dern, I say.

IT TRUE. WE SO LAME.

There's no grand finale to recovery. You gotta do it every day.
