Putting that down to Mike Mills’ fairly heavy involvement.

It works best if kept slightly nebulous too: it’s a concept everyone has a slightly different version of it in their heads.
The quite openly xenophobic view peddled by fringe right wingers (and I’m being kind there) is the worst of all possible worlds.

It’s frankly lunatic to put a musical on as part of a weekly production treadmill. To have it work so well as both episode and musical is some kind of miracle.

Trachtenburg’s silent ballet fight with the Daffodil Auton looking demons is a mightily underappreciated part of the episode. Nicely eerie in an episode it’s awkward to sell horror outright.

Outrageously, they cut away early from the end of I’m Under Your Spell. No room on Uncle Walt+ for good honest filth.

911 on last week after going down eight places, No Doubt weeks after getting knocked off the top. Didn’t realise it at the time given my patchy viewing of it, but post-Blaxill TOTP really does feel half-arsed.

Tbh, my default reaction to any news involving Trump’s pet billionaire is this panel from All-Star Superman.

Moved up quite a bit in the last DWM series survey (which I’d put down entirely to my book on it were I egotistical).

Yep - just grabbing a bite to eat and then be at the bar all night.

The creativity, enthusiasm and love for the show here really does make it something special. If you have a shot to attend in the next three years, do take it.

It’ll never stop being funny that they try to shoot Cardiff like LA.

Yeah, it’s ridiculous isn’t it? Wouldn’t be surprised if Sly et al were fans.

Might that partially have roots in their 2010s governments? Needed support from other parties to govern twice and even their outright election win in 2015 was on a manifesto seemingly designed with coalition negotiations in mind.

Is that 53 decades or centuries?
(yes, I’m on the repeat gags too)

Yep. Not someone I’d have been comfortable taking given said issues, but the talent is undeniable.
