Time Lords tend to refer to them as capsules, don't they? It's just the Doctor and Time Lords closely associated with him that call them TARDISes.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I think that's largely the case. Of course, the TARDIS translates other languages into the listener's native tongue, so even if one were to hear a Time Lord say "TARDIS", that doesn't mean that's what they said in Gallifreyan.
During the First Doctor's tenure, during Ian and Barbara's time at least, even the Doctor mostly called it the ship.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Tying those two points together, at the outset of the series Susan claimed to have coined the term "TARDIS". Perhaps that just means that she came up with its English name.
I'd forgotten that! Makes me wonder if we'll see Susan this season.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Hey, did we know that 1) there is a TV version of Snowpiercer at work and 2) Josh Friedman, who helmed my beloved Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, is going to be the show-runner? [link]
That article is from late 2016, but I just came across some of Friedman's tweets that suggest he's hard at work with writing for the show right now. IMDb says it's in "pre-production" so whether it'll be greenlit remains to be seen, I suppose.

I am not caught up on iZombie from its return yet, but OMG, the guy who plays Ravi is on this episode of Supergirl!
I suspect he will not have quite the same charm or sense of humor.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
And the actress who plays Jiya in Timeless as his CFO!
I watched about half the episode then stopped watching because it looked like both the Ravi and Jiya characters would turn out to be evil, which made me go, BAH. I know, I know. Actors play different roles!

Thank you, knew I recognized her but I hadn't looked her up yet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Vonnie, would it be set on the train or after the events of the movie?

Zen, from the article linked above:
For what it's worth, Deadline says the series would start "seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland," which would put it 10 years before the movie, assuming the show acknowledges the movie's timeline at all. Which it might not: Friedman's statement about the possible series (at The Hollywood Reporter) suggest he's mostly interested in the movie's setting and its political metaphor, rather than its specific characters or story elements.
Which makes sense, because why do an adaptation of Snowpiercer without the train? And since it'd be set well before the movie, the show can be populated with a whole new set of characters, although younger versions of the characters from the film could be featured, I suppose. The only one who is sorta guaranteed to be there would be Ed Harris' train-master.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Supergirl was great this week. I love Lena.
That Flash episode felt like nothing but filler. I'm watch iZombie now.
