Does Anyone Remember The Original Star Trek Episode Assignment: Earth? The One Where The Crew Travel

Watching Say Yes to the Dress with my grandmother right now and it's so nerve-wracking because they have a amab non binary bride as the main bride they're following.

So far she hasn't said anything too terrible though. Obviously she doesn't understand they/them pronouns, but really her main concern is what they're going to do with their hair if they get a dress. They have it cut really short, and she doesn't think there will be a good way to stylize it to match a wedding dress.

Her homophobia is outwayed by her belief that a bride should be in full glam on their wedding day.

I think this should apply to any character talking to another. Especially in the later seasons.

I'm seeing a lot about how awesome the character Trent Crimm is and how James Lance is killing it at his job. May I point you to toward the 2021 The Canterville Ghost miniseries? Sure, it's a more childish show and there were some, shall we say, liberties taken with the original source material. Also, Lance's American accent is definitely something to behold. It's like Keanu Reeves British accent in the 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula, only reversed. However, his character is super adorable and avoids confrontation like this:

I mean, come on!

Just my humble opinion. (Sorry for the shit quality)

Y'all...

The new set of audiobooks for Discworld just dropped, including Richard Coyle's narration for Going Postal, Making Money, and Raising Steam.

Can you guess what I'm doing right now?

So I was reading the Terrance Dicks novelization of some of the Second Doctor's stories to see what descriptors for him are used, and I really love in "The Web of Fear" one that Dicks gave us an actual scene where the Doctor and the the Brigadier have their meet-cute.

Because as much as I really like Web of Fear, I think one of the main problems with it (other than the fucking missing episodes) is that for such an influential character for the Doctor, they basically meet off screen. Like, this is the first time we see them together:

Which will eventually turn into this:

And since this was written in '76, there's even a little paragraph explaining that this character will eventually become a really big deal to the Doctor. Idk if Lethbridge-Stewart was originally going to be such a big character, so I just think it's kinda cool that he retroactively gives him a slightly better introduction, even if the original one is still pretty fire.

Man, one of the earliest episodes of Batman the Animated Series I remember was Harley's Holiday.

I think we all know how heart wrenching Mad Love is, and that has a large part to do with Arleen's voice performance.

She really gave a depth to the character that I don't think anyone has ever been able to fully and accurately reproduce.

Truly awful news.

This is going to sound very strange and random, but @hotvintagepoll has got to be my favorite blog at the moment. They had a great idea and they've ran with it. I can only pray that they're going to see it though to the end.

(Also, I'm very proud of myself for recognizing so many of these actors so far)
