GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Have to watch later. Does the set provide multiple seats for her?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Umm...Miracle Day is not a happy fun romp, either
Honestly, I'd recommend skipping Miracle Day entirely.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I do not disagree with this advice

I'm pretty sure you gave me that advice and I didn't listen. I should have listened.

Every time I see Tatiana Maslany during an interview, at some point I always thing "Awww... the actress who plays _____ isn't there", but then I realize she is. She is an astounding actress!
I read an interview once that her mom was on set and asked when he daughter was going to show up, when she was already there and in character!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Tatiana Maslany deserves all the Oscars.

Thrive to spite them
She does! I don't know why people aren't just giving her all the awards.
Do they not realize everything that goes into it. Especially when she's playing one character who is impersonating another who is pretending ot be another?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Doctor Who: that was my favourite ep of the season so far. The story was well paced and structured, the means of defeating the bad guys was really quite inventive (though I'm lost as to how electric eels - which aren't eels anyway - wound up in a Viking village) and the character work by the three main actors was superb. (On the Doctor's plan, someone noted that it involved showing the aliens dodgy CGI over a dubious puppet, thus defeating them by showing them both classic and new Doctor Who at the same time.)
Some random thoughts:
- Yakety Sax!
- I loved the Doctor speaking Baby again. In Closing Time it was pretty funny; this one was remarkably haunting, and still true to baby.
- I never get tired of Clara facing down aliens.
- "Okay. You mash up Vikings to make warrior juice. Nice." Very Children of Earth.
- Bit of trivia: the director was previously the lead singer of the Vapours, of "Turning Japanese" fame.
- The Doctor talking about losing companions. Where Tennant and Smith would go all angsty (Tennant would probably find a rainstorm somewhere to stand in), Capaldi just sounds so exhausted by it all.
- "Reversing the polarity of the neutron flow. Bet that means something, it sounds great." Electric eels, incidentally, generate their electric charge by reversing the polarity of its abdominal organs.
- Finally, great work by Maisie Williams on the last shot.
