Was talking with a friend about this just last night. I'm 6'4",he's 5'11, and was complaining about all the guys he meets on hookup apps that turn out to be lying about their height. But I never noticed it before b/c a couple inches of discrepancy just doesn't register when 99% of people are shorter

As mentioned before, though, as lovable as these characters are, I low key take issue with Doctor Who getting too cozy with the military, so I’ve always been ambivalent about UNIT. (4/5)
The card’s a bit strange:

The Invasion, #JohnLevene’s Benton appeared in every one of 3’s years and 4’s first two. #RIchardFranklin’s #CaptainMikeYates was a bit superfluous to the cast on top of Benton, the Brigadier, the Doctor, his companion, and, for three years, the Master, but the show made lemonade out of this (3/5)
