The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire Flight Through Entirety

This week, there’s a lot of hoovering to be done but nobody left alive to do it. So instead, let’s talk about how we felt about the final episode of Season 1 — a very happy ending or absolute terror?

This week, Bonnie Langford is back. Sure, a terrifying and omnipotent doglike entity returns from the distant past (oh, okay 1975), but we’re all still mostly here for Bonnie, right?

This week, we join the largest off-world chapter of the Bridgerton Appreciation Society as they head off to Bath for a convention that features preening, squawking and murder, culminating (as is traditional) in an arranged marriage which looks set to be the highlight of the season. Meanwhile, the Doctor meets a handsome stranger, falls in love and loses him forever.

This week, a number of affluent white people in pastel clothes get eaten by giant slugs, in a way that it’s hard to object to too strenuously. But does this episode have things to say about us as well?

This week, Brendan, Todd and Nathan found ourselves completely unable to connect and terrified of being abandoned by everyone we’ve ever cared about. Fortunately there was an excellent episode of Doctor Who to cheer us up.

This week, we’re all trying to stand very still and to remain completely calm, distracting ourselves from our predicament by reminiscing about that episode of Press Gang with the Zectron 2000 high security briefcases. And waiting for it all to go boom.
