New Dr Who episode. Space Babies. It is what the title says.
Its...weird. Starts off clearly highlighting that this series is a bit of a reboot going over all the basics. The bit with the butterfly stepping could have been a great episode but sadly brushed off quickly.
The episode itself....Its a joke which they just stretch way too far. So much goes unexplained. Like how the hell are the babies still babies yet...not?
After the xmas one too...As stand alones funny stupid episodes are fine. But two in a row makes me suspect its the overall tone now. Which is sad.

Cheers S9, Ep. 12 (Dec 13, 1990). The B-plot is about Cliff wanting to have his head cryogenically frozen after death. At the start Frasier says, "I don't necessarily believe that Cliff's severed head will be brought back to life in the year 2278 ... but who knows? I mean, who can predict the future?"

15 months later, Star Trek TNG's "Cause and Effect" aired, with the crew stuck in a time loop where Enterprise explodes every time colliding with another ship emerging from a time rift. When they finally break the loop, the other ship is the USS Bozeman, captained by Cpt. Bateson:



Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Captain... do you know what year this is?
Captain Bateson: Of course I do. It's 2278.

(Btw, I didn't realize that this TNG episode came out almost a year before Groundhog Day :o )

I finished baby Reindeer. Yeah. It's good. Great job by the Martha actor. Really familiar chilling vibes.
Shocking ending too - £7.25 for a vodka and coke.

Has vodka coke become a real drink?  In my day it was what idiots ordered.

I guess it's useful when you need a little bit of caffeine but don't fancy going full heart attack with vodka red bull?

I ordered it as a youth as it didn't mix well and when I started thinking it did, I'd had enough to drink.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

What are legitimate hi-balls in your book?

I haven't been drinking at a bar like that for years and years... but I recall the big ones being vodka-7, rye & ginger, rum & coke. I always felt super sophisticated with my gin & tonic on those occasions :smoke:

Everything else except whiskey and fruit juice.
