From MadCap's Couch - "Doctor Who: The Poison Sky"

Ha ha! Series 1 reference!

So, last time we left off on a depressing note. Martha had been cloned and the world was going to be completely drowned in the noxious smoke coming from 400 million cars while a bunch of militaristic potatoes chanted feverishly.

We return to our apocalypse already in progress.

"Rose? I told you never to call me at this number!"

SONTAR! HA!

. . .sorry, we'll get to that later.

What?

. . .no, really, what? Why are you looking at the screen like that?

From MadCap's Couch - "Doctor Who: Planet of the Ood"

"I'm not dead! I'm getting better!"
"No, you're not! You'll be stone dead in a moment!"

So this is definitely an episode that happened. Yessiree, it sure did. Mmmhmm.

Oh, that's not me saying the episode is bad. Far from it. It's just one of those really weird ones where the Doctor being involved...wasn't really necessary. As in for the episode to work as a piece of fiction. This happens a few times in Doctor Who, most notably for me being this episode and in Revelation of the Daleks in the Sixth Doctor's era. We'll likely be getting into that another day, since it's one of the genuinely good episodes of the Colin Baker era on the show, but that's neither here nor there right now. Today, we're getting a visit from our squid-y squid squid friends, the Ood.

Now you might remember that, last time, the Ood went a little crazy and got possessed by the Devil for a bit. Cheeky little squids! I'm sure that this time, the Ood will only have the best of intentions and will absolutely not in any way be a-

I know you've been waiting for them as much as I have.

MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" (2018)

Yeah, I admit this one is long overdue. Tina is still giving me grief for having not seen it before. It's not that I didn't want to, honestly. It's just that things kept popping up and getting in the way of giving this a proper viewing and review. Now, three years late, I'll attempt to set right what once went wrong. Maybe, kind of, a bit.
