bearshorty Doctor Who S6E4 Aw. That was so sweet. I loved all the scenes with the Doctor and the Tardis. I really didn’t want to see Amy running around the ship, I wanted to be back with the Doctor and Tardis. And she thinks Rory is cute. The dialogue was really funny. The Doctor and the Tardis belong together so very much – they both stole each other and they love each other and don’t really need anyone else. Even if he brings strays home. I did love the scene in the last episode where he runs to hug her. And humans are bigger on the inside. And the future message – is it about the person River? Why are they keep killing Rory? I loved Amy’s live when she found out the Tardis is in the female body – “Did you wish really hard?” I need to watch it again soon for the dialogue. And Time Lords can regenerate into a different gender! That has potential. It is not my favorite episode, “Girl in the Fireplace” and “Midnight” still complete for that title but this was just so lovely. I laughed when Tardis complained that the doors say “Pull to Open” and everyone always pushes the doors in, since I never thought about it. Neil Gaiman rocks.
Avatar: TLA S2E10 The Library. This episode hits lots of my buttons in a very good way. I have a thing for libraries. All those books! That was the best mini-vacation ever. And I agree with the professor that sinking this enormous collection was just wrong of the Owl spirit. I kept thinking – all those books. And people always misuse knowledge and despite that censorship should not happen. Knowledge is important anyway you can’t or shouldn’t control it. And we got new information in this episode. Sokka always comes up with very smart ideas despite that others always mock him for the lack of knowledge. I like him more and more each time. That was one awesome library – I was excited just to see that.
Today was rainy and a bit gray. We had plans to go to lower Manhattan in the afternoon but the parents ended up going to Brooklyn with Galina while I hung out with Olya at home. We chatted and then we watched some Bill Maher. It is even more fun to watch with someone else who likes his humor.
After dinner we had our own Bill Maher type panel with Papa as the lone Republican (he claims to be independent but he likes Fox news) and I and Galina on liberal side and Mama more moderate democratic. Olya was the audience. It was actually fun to debate my Dad especially to convince him that one reason Republican plans on taxes don’t make sense is because they have the idea of people’s ability to bring themselves up and American Dream and success being equal to what you put in. Both Galina and I are teachers so we actually could argue well that sometimes society doesn’t value all types of education and professions equally in terms of compensation and how it is not really feasible to always achieve ridiculous success. Papa pointed out examples of immigrants like him coming to America with nothing, but Galina made a great point that people like Papa actually came in with education and were able to learn things like computer programming in a year and retrain themselves because of that background too. Anyway, it was a good political discussion. I had a really good time with our guests this weekend.
