Penultimate Outsiders... It's Misora! In a really odd cameo right after Evolt has been cloned, because she's talking about Ex-Aid stuff when she'd actually be helpful telling the world that's forgotten him about the guy from her show. Being sat in front of a photo of the cafe is hilarious, though.

Today on Gotchard... I disappointed yesterday they wrote out Clotho's half mask costume and feral look (I wonder if it was hard to breath in?), but the upside is, fighting in her regular outfit means it's even more obvious she's doing all her own stunts and it's fucking awesome.

my partner has been watching Death Comes to Pemberley on Amazon prime and says their subtitles must be AI now

#DoctorWhoADay 2 years, 9 months. Just short of a 1000 individual episodes. But today, my 60th anniversary rewatch of Doctor Who ends! If it had ended with SJA, I'd have watched tonight with a beer to celebrate. But Class... I just want over. Especially as the finale opens with a long, bad song.

Sarah Ferguson when the UK media's exhausting focus on US politics means her turning out to also be BFFs with Epstein is largely being ignored:

A thread that will make you glad Rick Berman made Beltran's life a misery by forcing him to work out his contract rather than letting him quit.

Just for having to deal with racist relatives, y’all should make a donation to this worthy cause for the Scraplet’s school - which is a lovely, diverse little primary school.

BBC News

Disproportionately excited that tonight's Ultra Q was the debut of one of my favourite freaky sad guys, Garamon (who you can tell apart from Pigmon because girls do not like him).

One thing Ron Friedman did that might get overlooked in the discussion about his work (largely because the faster production rate of the cartoon means the idea debuted there) is he pushed hard, and against Hasbro's belief girls have fleas, to get a woman Transformer into the film and franchise.

Amongst many other things, "I Killed Optimus Prime" is one of the all-time great autobiography titles (certainly snazzier than "I Put Duke into a Coma" would have been).

Tonight's X-Files is the second of the three in the last season they remember Robert Patrick is an asset rather than just there, as he has to deal with the horror of realising one of his regular cop cases in the 80s was actually an X-File, and he's brilliant. Again.

Gonna go ask him to Rider Kick the Stan Lee AI to death

Gozyuger time! Ryugi is back (and I kinda liked the unexpected twist of his replacement getting immediately killed), but am more excited by how suspiciously Hiiro coded Rikuo's doctor disguise is. Will he do the pose?

I would argue that "live your life in a way that means no one cheers at your funeral" is very good advice, but similarly important is "live your life in a way that means you get invited to the place where they make Godzilla movies"

On Sept. 22, 1994, a show debuted on CTV featuring a street-wise Chicago cop and a Mountie on the trail of the man who killed his father. The critically-acclaimed hit reshaped Canadian television and made a star out of Paul Gross. This is the story of Due South. 🧵 1/14

Anyone need Haslab RID Omega Prime? Still case fresh and sealed. £370 shipped UK ono Reskeets appreciated

This is it. We can all stop making Youtube videos now because there is not beating this. "Steamed Hams but it's a Critically Acclaimed Feature Film" www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk-O...

Outsiders part 5! Which was quite a while after the previous one (indeed, the next time trailer was just Dan Kuroto promising things in voiceover). But it means we get some Geats crossover! Tsumuri didn't exist when this series started.

Today on Gotchard, Kyoka is literally going "Please look at these 1000 photos I look of Lachesis. For science."

On a similar note, and not to moan about the Transformers Kickstarter again, but they're 1000 page omnibuses of comics without a contents page.

#DoctorWhoADay The penultimate Class! It's trying to be clever by being set in parallel with the previous detention episode as Quill goes to what looks like the planet from the start of Into Darkness. Which, fine, but means it's an 8 episode show where most of the cast is only properly in 7.

This week's some wine left Prisoner is the one the the show's most famous visual iconography outside of the first and last episodes. Human chess. Apparently this gets played pretty regularly on this spot in Portmeirion as a tourist thing now, which is a bit playing Squid Games for real in context.

Holy shit Spike, calm down

"gooners never stay dry" or whatever that 80s movie said

This week's Hitchcock is the only remake of one of his own films he did, two decades after the original. Most people prefer the punchier British version. But, even if Doris Day is stuck with a much weaker role as the mom (a singer instead of a sharp shooter), you can't go wrong with Jimmy Stewart.

"Need a lift?" Astrotrain. art by me. #transformers #art

I'd planned to finish Drive today, but only got an arm done. Largely becayse his tiny tiddly shoulder light was an absolute pain in the dick to get into place. Kept flying everywhere as I tried to click the pieces round it.

FUCK IT!!!!! TIMELINE CLEANSE!!!!! ROLL THE CLIP!!!!!!

And it's time for the Gotchard summer movie! One of those post apocalyptic ones Rider has liked to do every so often since Faiz, paying off the time traveling old Hotaro from the show. Who turns out to now have as many eyes as he does braincells.

Today on Gotchard, me and @skeletonizer.bsky.social when we're doing our friendly banter.

Outsiders episode 4! And if there's one thing to give this credit for, it's making Brain gay for Zein. No innuendo or ambiguity, he wants to Yuut that o.

#DoctorWhoADay I'm kinda running out of things to say about Class, but at lesst they've found a school based gimmick bottle episode (everyone's in detention, so it's all in one room for the 40 odd minutes) that Buffy hadn't done. Which is impressive if nothing else.

Legacy Nemesis Leo Prime The anime character this toy represents is the first ever instance of a black and teal duplicate of a Prime/Convoy. It is, therefore, another Beast Wars idea that has permeated throughout the Transformers mythos. #Transformers

Probably not a great sign that I, Number One Oscar Nominated Cuban Actresses Appreciator (not to mention I've got mutuals Sweeney and Vanessa Kirby do things to), completely missed that this had been and gone in cinemas?

What do you think JFK’s mutant power was in this universe. I hope that under his suits he was covered in eyeballs like Eye Boy.

OK, a second actor having a podcast talking about the show they made decades ago is allowed (the other is the one I found out about last week by the now in her 80s female lead of the original Ultraman, which sounds adorable). Everyone else can stop, though.

If you (like me) watched a lot of Saved By The Bell in the day, you must have a listen to the Zack To The Future podcast. Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack Morris) never once watched the show irl, so he goes through the first season chatting about everything that was going on behind the scenes

Just finished re-watching The Enemy of the World. It’s terrific. I’ve never quite twigged before that David Whitaker invented a brand new DW story genre here: The Future Historical. 1) 🧵 #DoctorWho

Hey, I thought Zeztz was going to very standalone, but they managed to get in a Zero-Two cameo this week.

I've got a mug of tea and some corned beef rolls so lets kick off ZeztZunday!

Still, can you imagine what the political commentary in MTMTE would have been like by now if it had kept going? That would have been a thing to see.

Anyway that's enough politics. Back to your regularly scheduled me being impressed by the women of Toku. Hey, look at Sachika in the Gavv vcinema trailer! (Admitedly this is basically all she's in the trailer, but maybe she's doing something so amazing they're keeping it under wraps. ... right?)

Also been reading up on the Russian incursions in Polish and Estonian airspace and am actually glad the British media has decided to focus way more on the completely irrelevant to us Charlie Kirk when that was happening as that would have been stressing me out a lot more last week.

Been reading up on the Corbyn Your Party collapse... I voted Labour both times, but always felt he'd have wound up disappointing his biggest supporters. But, I assumed he'd obviously have been a better PM than Johnson. Turns out, he'd have been as inept, but accidentally rather than maliciously?

On my way to Newcastle Travelling Man! A 11am Sunday signing can be... quite a quiet affair so if you are in the area please consider coming round. And then onwards to York for 3pm!

We're celebrating #batmanday with our biggest competition yet here at We See The World In Ben-Day Dots. We've got four copies of Batman '89 to give away, two hardbacks and two paperbacks, one of each up for grabs on Instagram, and one of each up for grabs on Bluesky. (1/2) (K)

Q: What's the difference between Servalan and the USA? A:

None of the DVD sets in my collection included the correct end credits for the Masterforce part of Transformers TAKARA so I had to dig through a badly recorded StarTV VCD copy and luckily found a complete copy on the final disk to add to the next release 😁💿
