Doctor Who and most other sci-fi. Cat lover.
Yep, this has been the case for me ever since Discovery. Even after several years of that show I’d struggle to name half the characters now.
Whereas I could rattle off the actors/characters of TNG in my sleep.

Gah. I wish modern Treks told you character names in the credits. The one full name I can remember in Star Trek Academy is the Doctor's. Which is the Doctor. I should *at least* remember one of Holly Hunter's names. But I don't. She's Captain Holly Hunter. This is not how things are meant to be.

Every Christmas when I have family round I build a Lego city to entertain the kids. For several years I’ve placed this Trump minifig as head of a board of comic book supervillains: Thanos, Kingpin, Loki, General Zod, etc.
It was meant to be a joke…

Hmm, bits of this felt like a high-quality fan-made production rather than a real film…😬 Still, at least we get the actual Adam/He-Man transformation, something sorely lacking in the 1987 version. He’ll probably only be He-Man at the very end though!

Sigh… anybody else using Fedica to cross-post to several social media platforms? It keeps fucking up for me lately if there’s some sort of attachment. Failing to post… then posting multiple copies, or attaching a post to the wrong thread.

Clickbait TV news sites will have a headline like "CULT 80'S BRITISH DRAMA DROPS NEW EPISODE TONIGHT" and you'll scroll down three miles of text to find out there's an episode of Emmerdale on.

Looks like a man releasing a tiny eagle into his very detailed model railway set.
NEW: Glasgow City Council has just approved a massive AI-generated mural to be painted in the city centre.
The illustration of Scottish elements inexplicably contains a bald eagle.
The planner says those upset about it are "keyboard warriors" who should "calm down"

I won’t hold my breath after all the previous false starts, but still… cautiously… a tiny bit excited…
