Update

Going to work on organising this blog - and all my blogs - to make things easier for myself.

I liked this a lot

Joel Fry as Trev Simpkins & Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor in Joy to the World (Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024)

In time travel movies, when the time traveler asks 'What year is this?!?' they're always treated like they're being weird for asking.

When in reality, if you go 'What year is this?!?' people will just say '2024. Crazy huh.' and you go 'Wtf where has my youth gone.'

And if you ask 'And what month??' people won't judge you, they'll just go like 'SEPTEMBER!!! Can you believe it?!?!' and you go 'WHAT?!? Last time I checked we were in May?!?'

[marlynnofmany]

That is a great point. Especially if you time travel to a period of Big Historical Events, when everybody's looking a little wild about the eyes.

"Hey, what month is it?"

"January already, can you believe it? I swear I was just at Pompeii, but no one's going there again."

In the same vein:

Stumbling into a diner and asking "What town is this" isn't weird, the workers will think you're on a road trip

If you ask them "Where's the nearest Nano Deck?" they'll assume it's a shop they've never heard of and say "Sorry, I don't know where any of those are"

Going into a store and telling a cashier "I need pods for my comm device" will just get you a "Never heard of those, maybe try Radio Shack?"

I think the problem is that people who create sci-fi movies have never had to work customer service jobs

or concierge/travel jobs. "does your machine take galactic credits?" would sound the same to me as "does it take apple pay?" or some other micro transaction app. i'd just say "probably, try it and find out" just like always. as if Elavon doesn't already sound like a scifi name

"Sam, will you promise me something? Will you promise me that you will keep my family safe and you will keep me alive, so that I can find out who killed him and why, and I can take my revenge any way I see fit?"

"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"

But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.

It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?

That sign up there, "Fuck off SAS", could've been written by General Montgomery himself. It was actually catering.

I've talked a bit before about what a good job Dead Boy Detectives does at making the world feel lived in. More importantly, it gives such an incredible sense of history to the characters.

The little nods to a shared life absolutely make you believe that these boys have been one another's Most Important Person for thirty years.

And there a lot of fantastic moments for it. If I had to pick a favorite? I truly don't know if I could, because all of them are amazing.

But one that sends me every time? That makes me absolutely gleeful?

Is when Edwin takes one look at this expression and the very next words out of his mouth are, "Charles, no!"

Because by god, he has known this boy for thirty years, and he 100% recognizes a Charles-is-about-to-make-a-terrible-decision face, and that is so unspeakably charming.
