Jared Harris is great in it too, although he’s kind of under-utilized I think.

As a Brit living in another country, I get this too. People make jokes about me liking Doctor Who, drinking lots of tea and having bad teeth.

How dare you but also that is completely accurate.

I would definitely watch that!

I think it would depend on how confident I am that I’d be able to beat the kidnappers.

If it’s like inept comedy movie kidnappers and I feel like I’m on my way to deliver an ass kicking, then yes I’d play pump-up music.

If it’s scary KGB/ISIS kidnappers and I’m probably on my way to perform a well-intentioned yet ultimately futile gesture where I’ll likely get killed before I even get through the door, then probably no tunes for that one.

Season 2 is definitely the slowest season I think. It’s a bit of a slog but it’s doing a lot of the legwork for seasons 3 and 4 to go wild so it does kind of pay off in the long run IMO.

There are two new seasons and a movie!

Also Mr. Robot and Foundation and Good Omens and Fleabag and the new Beavis and Butthead and Station Eleven and Doctor Who is about to get good again and Irma Vep was great but I don’t think that one’s coming back

I definitely wouldn’t say it’s the best show of the last 10 years TBH. The first season is fun, and the second one kind of trails off a bit IMO.

The fishes, right?

It’s always fun for revenge stories too!

I had one game in I think Civ V where Dido was just being an asshole to me the entire game, and in the sort of mid-late game she did her big move and invaded. I lost maybe 3 cities, then the defenses started to hold and I pushed back. Took my cities back and then just kept going, and absolutely refused all offers on peace (which were becoming increasingly elaborate.) Even when every other civilization started denouncing me as a warmonger even though I didn’t start it, I kept going. Eventually got her down to two cities. I took the one closest to me, renamed it to Fart City, then offered it back to her in exchange for peace which she gladly took.

Then I waited a few turns until it had cooled off, then declared war on her again. This time I took the city on the other side, leaving her with Fart City and about three workable tiles, completely surrounded within my territory. I stayed at war for the entire rest of the game, with troops completely surrounding her. Every time she built an improvement I instantly pillaged it, ever worker was instantly captured, every troop immediately blasted. She just got to live out the next thousand years or so in squalor in Fart City, while every other country denounced me for my crimes lol.

In German:

Man = male (der Mann)

Woman = female (die Frau)

Boy = male (der Junge)

Girl = neutral (das Mädchen)

No idea why lol.

Also I’m learning French and everything has a gender but I don’t see any pattern to it at all. Pizza is female, books are male, a suitcase is female, hats are male and so on.

Also in French, the names of numbers go absolutely mental once you go above about 50. That’s got nothing to do with gender but I want to complain it whenever I can.
