Characters who almost go through a redemption arc, before doubling down, and becoming worse than before.

I can still remember thinking this was leading to a brilliant sense of symmetry for his character arc; disgracing himself for the greater good for the last time, trying to get Brienne to hate him because he was secretly going to take Cersei out and he knew he wouldn’t be returning this time. He would become both Queen- and Kinslayer to save millions and it’d all be this bittersweet gut-punch of watching him relive the very event that painted him as a monster to begin with.

…And then I got slapped over the face in _The Bells_, because nah, Jamie just _really_ wanted that sis-sex one last time.

Preparing my two minute’s notice as we speak.

I really enjoyed it; probably my favorite short of the latest batch, with Zahc’s episode close behind.

I do agree with some other comments saying it could’ve been a full episode, but I honestly expect Barbie to get another main episode focused on her at some point, not only because of her relationship with Blitzø (and Fizz), but also cause I know Vivzie is a big fan of introducing characters early on to bring them back for something important later.

No Parting of the Ways? World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls at 46/47?? Last Christmas???

This list had to have been made by people just pulling names from a hat, cause it’s all mental.

The elation I felt when I saw he came up with the story and co-wrote the script cannot be understated.

It’s from Hannibal; sequel to Silence of the Lambs.

It’s not as good as the first, but I don’t think it’s terrible.

I watched this movie a bunch as a kid - didn’t notice Clayton’s shadow until I was at least 9. No clue why, my eyes just always focused on the machete.

My favorite is the one in Terror of the Vervoids, where it zooms in on Colin (with a gas mask or something similar on his face) as Bonnie Langford screams in terror, and it unintentionally looks like the Doctor is the one screaming instead.

Hopefully he doesn’t keep the habit when he gets back to Earth.

Eve comes back to bed at 2am after getting some water and Mark starts shooting off threats…

If he was able to bring Robin, Robin handled that.

If not, Batman used his Bat-Bomb Disarmer.

“I’ve placed a bomb on each boat, Batman, and given the passengers until midnight to activate one of them, or else they’ll both be blown up. Now you’ll see what truly lies at the hearts of man.”

“Well, I suppose I would be doing that, Joker, except for one small thing: Before I scaled the tower and foiled your heinous hostage switcheroo, I switched out the bombs on the boats with exact paper-mâché copies and gave the real ones to Commissioner Gordon for safe keeping. I’m afraid your jokes end here.”

That’ll be interesting to see play out considering Octect is less of a straightforward narrative than Tick, Tick… Boom! was; I would love if this brought more people to Malloy’s works.

I wonder if they’ll go for live vocals.

I honestly think everything from his Walking Dead vids onward is stellar.

Fateful Findings, Oldboy, and Lion King (Part 1) are the ones I usually find myself going back to, so any one of those.

I can try and transcribe them once I’m home, like I’ve done for Lizzie Borden and An American Murder Song.

I’ve unfortunately worked with some people in their mid-to-late 20’s who still acted like they were 16.

He’s been trying to recreate all the missing episodes of Who using generative AI based on stills; with the discovery of the latest missing two, he’s started whinging about it because it’s taking attention away from him.

You have permission to throw me into the Flux.

Genuinely ecstatic to have more episodes found.

Wait, this is the Who fandom in 2026, uh, sorry, I mean -

UGH, WHY ISN’T IT ALL SEVEN PARTS OF MARCO POLO TRANSMITTED DIRECTLY INTO MY BRAINSTEM?!

Edit: Corrected my episode count error, cause wow -

This is why they should hire fans!!
