I don’t agree Carol’s obnoxious: the problem is more the show keeps pushing for an ambiguity - “is Carol madder/more sinister more inhumane and than the hivemind?” -it can’t be bothered to create: her predicament is so straight up nightmarish and the hive entity is a straight up tyrant.

Excellent novel. She’s a deceptively clever prose writer. Page by page, never quite the wrong or lazy choice of word.

Marshall Chedaki’s invasion fleet: still out there waiting to this day.

Finally, I reached The City of Death. Unlike all the other Baker Whos so far, I actually remember watching this one the first time round. Splendid stuff. Humour in Who works when Douglas Adams is doing it. Less so in other hands. Proustian rush at recalling the surprise cameos at the end.

Basically my fear that Goran would get brokd from bsky due to sharing Palestinian accounts got fulfilled.

My guess would be: keeps reposting gofundmes from Gazans that bluesky has deemed as "spam"
