Durham University Senior Learning Designer. Co-host of Pedagodzilla. DJ on The Thursday Night Show. Posts mainly about comics, cats and kaiju. Chaotic neutral apparently.
If it seems odd that I sound OK (compared to the blog post I wrote more immediately after the show) - on Thursday night it seemed like my cat was getting better, so I was in a more positive mood.

That is an excellent idea. I do have a set planned of songs that were number one for six weeks or more. 30 years of them in two hours, there are that few. I think with number twos I might be a lot more spoilt for choice.

This scene really creeped me out when i first saw it, and it must have been about 60 years old then.

But don't wait that long - some funky sounds from the US being broadcast right now.

I remember one or two genuine body horror moments in the pilot - the woman looking down at the wires etc poking out of his arm and asking Steve Austin "what are you?" toned down as it went on, but always stuck in my mind.

I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't pray to himself before every meeting. So there's one value she's not following.

It's a simple virus so (they reason) an ETI would choose it to encode a message because it would be amongst the first DNA to be sequenced (as indeed it was, another reason to choose it). They didn't find any message but it's worth reflecting that aliens might choose to communicate THROUGH OUR ASSES.
