Watching my favorite #DoctorWho story. I’ve probably watched this one more than any other in the show’s long history. It was one of the few I managed to record 40-odd years ago on the family VCR when the reception for our local PBS station was crystal clear for once. Always enjoy it.

Tonight’s #DoctorWho viewing. Been a long time since I’ve last seen this one. (Also, I would think any competent assassin would be deadly. But I suspect “The Competent Assassin” isn’t quite as compelling a title.)

One of the best “Behind the Sofa” trios on the Doctor Who Collection blu-rays.

Servalan is the best sci-fi villain of all time and I will not hear slander otherwise.

Lazlo from Real Genius is eminently quotable (as is much of that movie), but I find myself using this one at least with some mild frequency.

When toxic people ask you to mediate between themselves and the people they’re being toxic to, it’s kind of comical. Irritating and frustrating, but comical.

I’ve realized as I’ve gotten older that I’ve basically become Ron Swanson.

My favorite #ttrpg room description ever, from Caverns of Thracia.

Seeing the Quarks in “The War Games” makes me feel like Gretchen is still trying to make ‘fetch’ happen in Mean Girls. #DoctorWho

After recording a new episode of @preparethetimelash.bsky.social, watching an underrated #DoctorWho story from my latest blu-ray acquisition. (It’s amazing to see how crisp this story is now, compared the original restored and recolorized VHS tape from the early 2000s.)

Kind of wild sometimes to remember that I first read this when it was brand new, and “The Wilderness Years” were still yet to come. #DoctorWho

Last night’s British sci-fi watch. #blakes7

If #DoctorWho does bring back Omega for the finale, I hope Omega is played by Peter Davison and is accompanied by the ridiculous Ergon. (It would also make my mom, who is a non-Who fan, very happy. She knows Davison from the shows she watches on BritBox as “that guy who’s always the villain.”)

That feeling when your ideas for possible podcasts to make or books to write have not only already been done, but already done extremely well
