I'm hoping for a really awkward setup. Something like two teens who've booked the film nobody would ever go to to get some hand action in, a couple of gammons gone to salute whatever the film allegedly stands for, and a sole 20something that's gone to watch it ironically.

The best thing about the last series of Game of Thrones was seeing people who'd called their poor kid Danaerys or Khaleesi realise in real time they'd accidentally named them after a mass murdering despot.

Pogust Goodhead sounds like a character if Rowldemort was writing spicy fanfic based off her own books.

The easiest language to translate from. Somehow every single sentence and phrase converts neatly into "I'm a complete spanner."

I'm always happy to share unless I have people due to join me in the very near future, but far too British to ask to share unless space is critically low. Ideally I'll have a book I can hide behind at that stage.

I fear to watch, yet I cannot turn away.

*looks*

Oh god.

The main sources of enjoyment in the first Fantastic Beasts were the fantastic beasts and Katherine Waterston, both of which were apparently excised from the sequels in favour of very slowly telling us that the bad guy from one of the major fiction series of the last 30 years is a bad guy.

Look how blissfully happy he was getting to be a total dickhead in Knives Out.

Might not be useful depending how many moderately evil streaming services you subscribe to, but it's on Prime as well, if you happen to have that and are suffering from severe Mulder mockery withdrawal symptoms.

Yep, only outcome anyone could have wanted is Butker doinking a kick to knock the Chiefs out before getting back in the kitchen to tidy up.

I don't know if I'd call it my favourite over the original, but I think it's excellent - takes the series into a very different place while still maintaining big chunks of its original DNA.

Let he or she who has never mixed up members of an 18th and 19th century family of astronomers cast the first stone :-D

Caroline was William's sister and John's aunt. I know she worked with the latter too, but he seemed to respect her and her work.

100% with you on the lack of credit she got for her work, though. And yet she still maybe got the most of any non-Marie Curie woman in science until... the late 20th C?

I might be remembering this completely wrong (it's been a while!), but I think that was his dad?

Thank the gods John Herschel came along in the 1830s. Before then nobody in the southern hemisphere had been able to look at the night sky and map it. It was a physical and mental impossibility. We're incredibly lucky somebody British turned up in the end.
