The Bill, a long-running UK cop show that I've been watching a lot of lately to investigate its rather bizarre IMDb ratings. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084987/epdate What baffles me is that the episodes getting the most attention from IMDb voters are usually the ones that have the least to do with the show's most iconic storylines. The Don Beech scandal has been seemingly ignored aside from a special episode set in Sydney, Beech on the Run. The 2002 episodes involving Chief Inspector Conway's murder, DS Singh's resignation and a fire that killed six other officers have been seemingly ignored, yet the transitional episode in between gets ten votes. The 2005 Sun Hill Fire has been ignored yet a relatively uneventful episode later that year gets 14 votes. The murder of Sgt. Boyden has been ignored but the episode featuring the investigation of his death on a short-lived spin-off got 15 votes. And so on.

14 hours into Pokemon UltraMoon, 57 on my Pokedex. I started with a Popplio this time, though I was half-tempted to do another Litten-Ledybug pairing, this time calling them Felix and Bridgette.

I got back to Pokemon Moon for the first time in a while last night, and I beat the Elite Four and the Chmpion, thanks mainly to my Incineroar Adrien and my Ledian Marinette.

At OzComicon Melbourne in 2012, I got an autograph from Julie Benz and I asked a question or two in her panel. Also, I remember walking past Anh Do and getting a "Hey, man" when he was performing at my university. Rather ironic if you're familiar with Anh's more recent work.

Because he's busy in Engineering. Lt. Kyle should be available though. My first answer would be to the late 60s so I can recover the missing Doctor Who episodes, but that's taken. Maybe last Thursday night? I have an overdue phone bill.

So far all I've done to celebrate it is play Knights of the Old Republic II for a couple of hours and watch the Family Feud Star Wars special, which was fun. And I'm wearing a Darth Vader shirt, though that was accidental. But the Fourth will be with us for a while yet. -
Q&A, tonight featuring Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, Deputy Opposition Leader Tanya Plibersek and Veep creator Armando Iannucci, among others.

From tonight's Family Feud: Grant: Name an Australian celebrity known for wearing a hat. Contestant: ...Grant Denyer? For the record, no, he really isn't.

RIP John Clarke

Doesn't make it less amusing that a quarter of the survey probably misread the question (I guess it's possible someone had the above points in mind). And it didn't seem like the contestant or Grant saw anything off about the answer. It's far from the first time I've seen them do that: "Name something paparazzi might hide behind." "A camera." (Since hiding behind a camera and nothing else would just make a paparazzo more visible.) "Name something that might go wrong when singing karaoke." "Forgetting the lyrics" (Though in this case Grant did point out the problem, that the lyrics are supposed to be right there on a screen.)

Highlight of tonight's Family Feud: Grant: Name something you might find in ancient Greece. Contestant: Ruins It was the top answer with 27, which struck me as really stupid because the buildings wouldn't be ruined yet in ancient Greece.

I'd be hesitant about arranging a meeting on neutral ground. Enemy territory, you know where you stand, but Neutral? Who knows?

Neighbours, currently doing its second gaslighting story focused on the same character in less than eighteen months. Incidentally, that whole story with Dee coming back to life? She was an imposter after all.

Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)
Tobyc replied to The Old Hack's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Malcolm Turnbull continues to stand behind Tony Abbott's plan to deliver/delay (depending on who you ask) marriage equality: spending millions on a non-binding plebiscite that multiple coalition MPs have already admitted they're going to ignore. And he continues to blame the ALP for delaying marriage equality by blocking the plebiscite, when he could just grant a conscience vote on the issue, like he said he wanted to years ago. http://gaynewsnetwork.com.au/news/national/pm-says-australians-could-have-had-marriage-equality-if-plebiscite-had-moved-ahead-22763.html Also, it looks like the deal he struck with Obama regarding the refugees on Manus and Nauru has already collapsed, since Trump is openly mocking it on Twitter. I can't say I'm totally shocked. -
For context, he's the mascot of a newly opened backpacker hostel, leading the owner to suspect sabotage by the managers of two competing hotels. He was actually being held for ransom by another character who's seriously in debt for various reasons (some of them his fault). Also, the wombat is called Warnie, so people will keep getting him confused with cricketer Shane Warne. Not the worst comedy story they've done, but not really what I was expecting the same week Dee returns from the dead. Right now, rewatching The Day of the Doctor.

Well, not quite. There was amnesia involved, but she mostly recovered from that a long time ago (though there still seem to be gaps in her memory). Emily, the woman who found her, was on the run from an abusive partner and thought she was in a similar situation because of her injuries from the accident, and she wasn't in any condition to correct her at first. So it turns out she'd planned to come back in 2004, only to find out Toadie had moved on, while her parents (who were never regular characters) had died offscreen in an unrelated car accident (not sure what happened to her sister yet, but that should be coming up tonight). So she went back to Perth with Emily. I should probably note that the show is doing a lot to keep us guessing whether this really is Dee or just a ridiculously well-informed imposter, but I'm leaning towards the former.
