And you'd show me off to your friends at the pier
Tonight ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch and I performed our civic duties by voting for the second time in this ward and precinct without having to provide Kafkaesque corroboration of identity. We had still brought a utilities bill out of gun-shyness.
My new measure of the lousiness of last summer is the fact that I just tonight discovered the music video for Chappell Roan's "Casual" (2023). I had heard the song and its incredible hook. No one had communicated to me that the video involves the singer's romance with a man-eating siren. I have strong folkloric feelings about the ending.
I heard the first season of Vigil (2021–) had lesbians and submarines and have thus just finished watching the first episode. So far the ratio is in favor of submarines, but the f/f is not nil. Still haven't watched Gentleman Jack (2019–22) despite envying Suranne Jones her waistcoats since before the last glaciation.
Elsenet, context self-supplied: "I will die on the hill of Vengeance on Varos. I will just not actually die on Varos. That would be awful."

I absolutely do. When I saw it for the first time in 2022, the self-devouring satire had only sharpened since 1985, which is the kind of pop-cultural prescience you feel someone should have apologized to the writers for. It has real problems of pacing and characterization, but it also has a razor-clever thesis and it has Martin Jarvis giving one of those performances that just thud themselves into the viewer's id and remain embedded in perpetuity. I suspect I would have hated everything about the episode except him if I had encountered it in high school during my first go-round with Classic Who. Staking out this position has just made me want to rewatch it (I have non-Gallifreyan doctors in the morning, I can't).
