I know it is a strange opinion, but I think the second half of Twin Peaks Season 2 is just as good as the previous episodes. The show for me has always been strange small-town antics, mixed with crime and the supernatural. This is also one (of the many) reasons I hate the revived series.

Random Question: Were coke can grenades a thing at other people's schools or just mine? To clarify this was a soda can, shaken up, pierced with a small hole then quickly thrown at someone (commonly myself).

I did indeed watch Twin Peaks. I had forgotten how much eating there is in it. Makes me really hungry.

An exciting two-fer for you today: a dose of fierce feminism to go with your Vision of Tomorrow #ScienceFiction magazine review! galacticjourney.org/february-16-...

In which I discuss the beginnings of the Women's Lib movement in 70s Britain and a surprisingly good issue of Vision of Tomorrow: galacticjourney.org/february-16-...

I always want to get into Fullmetal Alchemist as it seems like I'd enjoy it. But whenever I try to understand the relationship between the different series I get too confused. Doesn't help fans seem to say, watch all of them but in order from worst to best otherwise you can't appreciate properly.

Me: Argh I am trying to keep with 2 million things and failing. Also Me: Maybe I should watch Twin Peaks again?

Starting in an hour. Come and enjoy the company: discord.gg/XNTJuc4C?eve...

In August of 1970, Vision of Tomorrow ceased publication. For the first time since WW2, there was no regular British SF Magazine. Editor Philip Harbottle knew what was to blame. Doctor Who!

Hey folks! Did you know that last year, @galacticjourney.bsky.social missed being on the #Hugo ballot for Best Fanzine by just *one* nomination?

Sigh, seriously Labour. Reform is rising not because your 2024 voters are switching to them but because even Tories hate Kemi and liberal voters don't know if they can stomach you. Trying to run to the right is the silliest plan you could do.

Signal boosting this petition. It ought to be a no-brainer. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

The great writer @aliettedebodard.com is going through an awful situation, so a bunch of us put together a funding link to help. (I’ve been asked not to add to what she’s said here.) Do give whatever you can, and please spread the word. www.gofundme.com/f/helping-al...

He was a Chinese Business student who barely spoke two words to me and spent most of his time watching shows on his laptop. I imagine I probably more traumatised him.

Apologies all. Broadcast file has become corrupted. It will likely start an hour late.

Join us in 3 hours for more undersea, prehistoric and classical fun: discord.gg/XNTJuc4C?eve...

I don't if it is just that Colin Baker is so darn charismatic, but watching Brothers, I find myself wanting Merroney to take over & get rid of the Hammonds. With Brian gone, David just wants new toys to play with, Ted opposes any attempt to improve the company & Jennifer blindly agrees with Ted.

The problem with being reared on Agatha Christie, I can usually tell within the first episode of the mystery TV series who did the crime. For example, I loved the journey of Man on the Inside but the minute the person who did the thefts appeared on screen I knew it.

Ding! Ding! Ding! You got it!

Random lunchtime quiz: Only one film released between Superman (Dec-78) and Jurassic Park (Jul-93) sold more than 10 million tickets in the UK. Which film was it?

Weird thing of being a parent now: Whenever a baby cries on TV I automatically shush. It doesn't matter it is an unnamed character in a black & white film, I must comfort!

Make sure to join us on Saturday as we get our first glimpses of Homo Reptilia: Schedule 08/02 (GMT): 16:50: Marine Boy: Operation Deep Deep 17:15: Doctor Who: The Silurians: Part 2 17:40: Up Pompeii: Spartacus

In which I review one of the best SF films of 60s and 70s that most people have never heard of, The Peace Game: galacticjourney.org/february-6-1...

We got our toddler some phonics cards for practice. We showed monkey which was broken in two. We pointed and asked what it was, he saw the first part and just said "Monk". Either he is absurdly smart or possibly knows some very complex ideas.
