Wow, those countries? I guess as someone from a country (New Zealand) that many SAFs and Zimbabweans emigrate to/escape for a safer life (as one parent explained why they moved in the 90s "I was sick of having to hold on to my daughter's hand when in Jo'berg so she wasn't abducted" I'm kinda terrified of it).

To me, Taylor Swift is the one sign of 90s revival fashion namely crop-tops. (Lorde does do it too but tends to hide it under boxy jackets). She can pull it off, it just makes me feel old.

[GAH, can't read, books, not TV] The rape scenes in Outlander: was not expecting them!

I know that one of Little Town had a front cutout dress that showed underwear, but was it just me or did Grande's super short skirt and sashaying feel kinda inappropriate given the context?

That said: girl got a set of pipes. Didn't know that.

Now playing

Perhaps not the worst, but I'm really not a fan of this series' Doctor Who credits:

Hide is brilliant, and Asylum of the Daleks is worth it (though obv a lot of it was the big reveal). I also didn't mind the 2012 Christmas ep: dodgy Cockney accent aside, I think I preferred Victorian Clara to the modern one.

Wait... having rewatched Dark Water post-reveal, is "Doctor Chang" an in-joke relating to Chang Lee?!

Which was the one? Was it Listen? (Actually one of the few I wasn't keen on, but many seemed to love).

I actually love that when you see Missy and the Doctor together they kinda match like some deranged version of The Prestige

Is there another section for masochist-watching?

Cos by god I don't know how I got through most of Doctor Who season 7B (even A to some extent)

Missed the best one.
"Sleeves are too short & have no stripes. Costume does not feature a hood. This is a "sexy BA" at best."

No mention of the wonderful Thick of It in-joke?
"Not another government audit. So soon? Why's there all this swearing?"
"Oh, I've got a lot of internalized anger."

I'm also curious about that line "Clara Oswald never existed." What's that about?

But Liz's flatmate David is the amazing Dylan Moran! Him dying was sad. (That said, Peter Serafinowicz is a great actor but doing so well playing a dickhead that you're actually kinda OK with him dying).

I love that Geek Love is finally getting its due.
One thing that should be mentioned between this and American Freak Show has to be Carnivale.

My friends got around this by having THREE weddings. UK, Mexico, India. The groom is either lucky or very unlucky that there are kinda three anniversary dates :)

Also an extra: cross-nation marriages. When the couple aren't the same nationality, it's going to be a destination wedding for someone. The best way to solve that? Multiple weddings. My Indian and Mexican friends were both PhD students in the UK so had a little wedding here (easiest visa process and good for student

My god, found the full ep online. Defo saw more of the 4th Doctor than I was bargaining for o_O

Hope someone goes through the grays soon, there is some good convos there (including *cough* mine) that currently involve too much effort to find!
