Monster of the Day

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but Seeds of Doom is a near perfect 6 parter. Most arcs of that length consist of a lot of wheel-spinning. They avoided that by opening with a side story that then fed into the larger narrative. This worked quite well, and yet they seldom employed that strategy…

Beanie and Cecil gone horribly, horribly wrong. Or right.From the Third Doctor (you heard me) / Jo Grant arc Carnival of Monsters. Hot in Chicagoland again. Blech.

The Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker years of Doctor Who were surprisingly friendly to giant monsters. These where generally brought to life with lovably clunky puppets.

Some people *really* don't want others pilfering their Bullseyes.Discord Watch Party on Friday.

Never bring a gun to a snake fight.

Stupid Wizard of Oz. Giving the Lion the Little Blue Pill instead of a medal. And yes, Men-Hungry Women louse up *everything*! Happy weekend, everyone. Watch something stupid.
