I Loved Jodie's Send-off As The Doctor. The Writing Has Definitely Been Rocky The Past Three Seasons

These guys are brilliant and my favorite Shakespeare to watch. Definitely worth the laughs.

Do you ever wish you could forget?

How To Train Your Dragon is my favorite children’s series ever. Seriously. Even more so than Harry Potter or The Outsiders. I love the HTTYD films equally as much but in my opinion the books are so much more adult and so much WISER than anything else I’ve ever read in any other kids’ story. Cressida Cowell understands how the world works and how children cannot remain so forever, and how with friends and family there will be loss and hurt; for god’s sake, she writes things that are more adult in that story than most kids’ books even touch on. There’s one point where Hiccup is being eaten alive slowly by a snake-like dragon whose stomach juices are eating away at Hiccup’s feet, and another where he’s being literally tortured by Alvin the Terrible by being dunked in the freezing sea over and over again for longer and longer periods. But the story approaches life in an amazing way and is even more beautiful and amazing for when Hiccup and his friends triumph.

If you’ve never read these books, go do so. Now. You won’t be disappointed.

‘Goodbye may seem forever

Farewell is like the end

But in my heart’s a memory

And there you’ll always be.’

So did Mary Poppins inspire Missy, or did Missy inspire Mary Poppins?

No matter how many times I’ve rewatched it, I still feel a thrill whenever I hear Thirteen referred to as Doctor. The gender doesn’t matter at all-- Jodie was fantastic!

This. This right here. This is the Star Trek “creature” that when I was five scared me shitless. Doomsday Machine is probably my favorite ST episode of all but there’s just something about this planet killer that still sends a shiver down my spine despite looking like an oversized bugle chip. It looks so utterly non-human, just this giant hunk of cold rock and it pursues you with a gaping fiery maw. Yeah, nightmares abounded if I watched this episode too close to bedtime when I was a kid. As Kirk so aptly says at the end of the story, “I found one quite sufficient.”

“You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” by the Righteous Brothers is Alec and Tess’s song. No one will be able to convince me otherwise.

Finally updated Everybody Wants To Rule the World again.

Goals. They still exist. Now onto a Broadchurch fic about a beached whale. Because beached whale.
