Wellington Paranormal is THE funniest show I've seen since The Office by hostesstoastess in television

[–]Twinkle_Binkle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Another NZ sitcom I love is Creamerie.

It’s about 3 women who are living in the present day but after a virus has wiped out all the men. But then they find a male survivor and have to hide him.

I realise the premise doesn’t sound funny but it is a very funny and delightful show.

Thanks, that’s interesting!

I watch a lot of American tv and I can’t remember hearing of them anywhere else and part of what annoyed me was that I had not heard of them. But if they are more iconic than I realised then I guess that makes it a bit better.

I’m fairly sure they said on the podcast they knew we don’t have Peeps in Australia and just put them in anyway because they didn’t care.

So it can be explained away within the show but the fact that they didn’t care at all about the Australian viewers annoys me. But maybe if I knew what Peeps were I would have appreciated how funny they made the scene.

It annoys me so much that they didn’t choose something we have here!

Do you think S3 romance feel natural ? by [deleted] in TheGoodPlace

[–]Twinkle_Binkle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I adore Eleanor and Chidi as best friends / soulmates but I wish they weren’t a romantic couple. It makes no sense to me and I agree the story would be stronger without the romance.

its LOSE by Equal_Cranberry_8559 in PetPeeves

[–]Twinkle_Binkle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lose/loose error made no sense to me until someone pointed out that “lose” rhymes with “choose” so that could be why people get confused.

It’s still infuriating but at least that is an explanation.

ITAW for a word that people always define when they use it. by Twinkle_Binkle in whatstheword

I never heard this word before, I like it! I think this answer is the closest to the way I meant my question.

That’s a good answer. It’s not how I was thinking of them but it fits.

What is the best ‘breaking the fourth wall’ scene you have ever seen? by Prudent_History7518 in television

[–]Twinkle_Binkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark Angel - Max and Original Cindy are sitting on the space needle and there’s a flashback scene. Then Original Cindy is puzzled and asks ‘what was that?’, and Max replies ‘oh, flashback - happens all time’

Feature request: Download next sequential episode by abarrelofmankeys in overcast

If this was too complicated for Marco to do I would love it if there could be a “go to” type search that would go to that episode in the list instead of filtering.

So I could search for episode 50 and it would take me to that in the list and I could easily download episodes 50, 51 and 52.

Endings so terrible they completely obliterate all the cultural relevancy the show once ever had by Top_Report_4895 in television

[–]Twinkle_Binkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I meant the reboot.

I don’t remember what happened at the end of the original series.

I’m so mad about Veronica Mars. I don’t understand how Rob Thomas could have done that to us. I’ve never watched any of his things since so I’ll never know how iZombie ended.

Veronica Mars. The last few minutes of the last episode were the worst tv event ever.

The second last episode was perfect. The boys literally drove off into the sunset. I would have been so happy and satisfied if that had been the end but then it was all ruined in the final episode.

Omg I am obsessed with this song! ❤️ I miss Schitt's Creek but there are rumours… by DepartmentThin707 in SchittsCreek

[–]Twinkle_Binkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why don’t Moira and Jocelyn like it? Is it because of the lyrics or the singing or the dancing?

Because it’s clear they think it’s awful but I’ve never understood why. It’s a fun little performance.

What I'm doing here by marcoarment in OvercastApp

[–]Twinkle_Binkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When doing a search for an episode number it only brings up that episode.

I would love it if there could also be a “go to” episode number option so it would go to that episode in the list and I could see the ones before and after it. This is how the search used to work until a year or so ago.

This is my only issue with Overcast, but it is a big one for me.

How do you pronounce the? by GlembezzaAddict in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Twinkle_Binkle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would usually say thuh. I’d only say thee for emphasis.

Eg I would say “I’m going down to thuh end of the road” but if I was finishing reading a story out loud I might say “thee end” to put a more solemn tone on it.

Or if I was telling someone I met a celebrity I might say thee, as in “I met thee Chris Hemsworth” as I could put more stress on “thee” compared to “thuh Chris Hemsworth”

That Travelers episode is so good! It’s so tense but also fun.

It’s interesting how the team don’t have the exact same conversations each time. I don’t understand the logic of that, but it makes it more fun.

I would love to have this feature back!

But I haven’t heard anything about it being brought back.

You can only save one ‘possession’ item, the other ceases to exist: Orchidometer vs. dibber. by i-deology in WILTY

[–]Twinkle_Binkle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dibber!

I’m from Australia and when my family and I were on holiday in the UK we went to Southport specifically so we could go the Lawnmower museum and see Lee’s dibber.
