I started buying DWM in December 1988 until March 2020.

Previously I got #131 to #134 late 1987. But annoyingly I couldn't find any DWMs in the shops from Feb '88 to November '88.

"But she's not like the other girls before her"

(and repeat)

He's a 1990s relic. Man this Gunn era is just mere 1990s nostalgia.

You are hiding the big 1989 news. The return of Old Sixie.

Let that our last battlefield. To quote the classics.

#Sapphire&Steel Strip #63 "The Sorcerer [7]" (17-Jan-81).
The guy as the end didn't understand what happened. I don't think anyone involved with this strip understand what this story wanted. The S&S concept felt wasted here.

I'm unsure the strip writers have more to give. It's a tough ask TBF.

#Sapphire&Steel TV 2.04 cont'd.
I like that Silver is a pretentious wanker and a bit of a coward. I think Sapphire knows this though and really doesn't like him that much.
The door handles thing is a nice effect but we perhaps we need to see other materials getting unmade, eg Rothwyn and Eldred.

#Sapphire&Steel TV ep #2.04 "Assignment Three (4)" (15-Jan-81).
The core idea is a little nebulous as yet. That there are three time capsules in situ all at once is a bit confusing. The actual time capsule, the glowy thing and baby-man? Ok baby-man is scary but I'm unsure what the time threat is.

#Sapphire&Steel TV ep #2.03 "Assignment Three (3)" (13-Jan-81).
In which David Collings first appears as Silver. I like the silly love triangle. I do kind of think Sapphire is deliberately flirting to annoy Steel.
The deadly touch of the baby-man is scary. No death scene for Rothwyn?

#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast #71 "The Registry of Middle School Crushes" (01-Aug-15).
If listening in sequence do not bother with Spotify as the WTNV guys stick in adverts for their 2026 content.
Instead use YouTube which only gives you the original ep unchanged.

Bonus Episode 5 - Excerpt from the novel YouTube video by Welcome to Night Vale

#WelcomeToNightVale Bonus Podcast #5 "Excerpt from the novel" (15-Jul-15).
Another filler during this mini hiatus. I own Novel #1 which will get released 20-Oct-15 so I can wait . I might go back and listen to this which seemingly is from the audiobook version?

Bonus Episode 4 - Pamela Winchell YouTube video by Welcome to Night Vale

#WelcomeToNightVale Bonus Podcast #4 "Pamela Winchell" (01-Jul-15).
This seems to be from the next live show or a cut scene from the previous live show? Which isn't for a while? Anyway whichever it's from this was quite funny. Unsure why it was cut actually.

70B - Review YouTube video by Welcome to Night Vale

#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast #70B "Review" (15-Jun-15).
I think this is the end of the arc or what pfor an arc on WTNV. Still nice to have some hanging bits tidied up. Will Hirom McDaniels or TFOLWSLIYH be back later in the run? Presumably.

70A - Taking Off YouTube video by Welcome to Night Vale

#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast #70A "Taking Off" (15-Jun-15).
I quite like the contrast in the show when they do the Desert Bluffs stuff so this was ok.

#WelcomeToNightVale Podcast #69 "Fashion Week" (01-Jun-15).
I got nothing from this ep.

#Counterpart TV 2.01 cont'd.
Is Sara Serraiocco in S2 or left the show? I'm unsure how the new sleeper cell will work unless they've somehow already been replaced as there are no transfers possible. So Nadia would've already done those murders?

Other Howard is gonna mess up with Emily soon?

#Counterpart TV 2.01 cont'd.
I can get behind Peter being an anti-hero blundering through despite the carnage in his wake. At long as he destroys Clare I don't mind. He can murder Naya too please.

As expected there is a backdoor between worlds but it's just electronic or allows some transfer?

#Counterpart TV 2.01 cont'd.
Will each ep alternate betweeen world or will S2 be just our world? I don't think we can go long without seeing our Howard.
Nazanin Boniadi is Iranian but I think with Clare that they are leaning into her being a Mossad murderer or was 2018 there yet with the occupiers?

#Counterpart TV ep #2.01 "Inside Out" (09-Dec-18).
In which we get a new ex-FBI agent aboard who is a Black Muslim. Ok it adds diversity which is needed but Christ above we don't need US folk in this show at all. I can give JK Simmons a slight pass but kinda hope Naya gets herself murdered asap.

I'm still waiting for you to creat a thesis to disprove the initial quoted text.

i think she killed Netherlands too as the Germans writers hated the Netherlands.

#Counterpart TV 1.10 cont'd.
I'm not sure if there'll be a point to S2 butbe nice to see the characters again. Maybe one or two new ones.
Seemingly not having women leads in this was responsible for it's low ratings? Real TV exec BS as we have Nazanin Boniadi, Sara Serraiocco & Olivia Williams.

#Counterpart TV 1.10 cont'd.
The introduction of Managment is a real banana skin as it takes away agency from our main characters and makes them look servile. They all just become mere lackeys for billionaires. So I like we don't see Management nor should we. If we do this will jump the shark.

#Counterpart TV 1.10 cont'd.
End of S1. I was surprised with Pope's fate. Though his other self could be in S2? But I don't think the show is designed to see everyones duplicate mind.
Silk's reversal of fates was decent. The show is at its best when it explores the meeting point between a duo.

#Counterpart TV 1.10 cont'd.
I'm not equipped on German espionge to rate this. The spying on our world is too analog & low tech. Is it homaging prior spy formats? In #LaValla that was a disaster but works well here. Come on @holgerhaase.bsky.social this show should be right up deine Strasse!

#Counterpart TV ep #1.10 "No Man's Land [2]" (01-Apr-18).
I'm not equipped to assess how good this is. The presence of an American character is gnawing at me. JK Simmons could surely have played Silk as non-US? Writer Justin Marks is American so ok that maybe validates that creative decision?

I meant global series eg WEC.

All Motorsport is ME dependent

You assume incorrectly and have zero critical ability.
