Irony Be My Shield posted:I thought that was a good episode. There were some genuinely creepy moments and the writing felt fairly real. I liked the use of 3D audio during that one scene with all the knocking coming from the ceiling. I don't think it was meant to be a shocking twist, his story not quite making sense was just an opportunity for Bill to show some 'common sense' human cleverness. That way she's not just a pretty face, or a damsel in distress who needs to be rescued, she's helping to work the problem.

Red is Dead posted:Echoplex, ever thought of releasing a coffee table style book out of your set photos? Not sure a commercial venture like that would go down well with Auntie, so it'd be restricted to blogs I suspect, but one day when the dust has settled from various shows I will post bits, yeah. Carbon dioxide posted:The most important question: How do you decide what percentage the battery is at in your mock phone screens? I bet people complain if it's too low or too high. That appears to be one of the rare times I've not left it at 88%, which is a fairly obvious reference < (but it's also a good neutral number; realistic use, no suggested peril). For the times on the phone - most shows these days put time of day per scene in the scripts because of how ubiquitous phones/computers in action are these days. Not that you ever see the time, really. Please don't check if you do, anyway.

Neonazis have a loving shitload of secret symbols used for communicating their views to people in the know like they're some kind of loving masonic mystery cult. Sadly "norse, in general" is one of them and a load of viking runes also qualify. It's obviously a thing context is good for, because Nazis have made basically every combination of numbers racist somehow, but yeah. It's a thing. https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols?cat_id[152]=152 Numbers specifically. Also "Heil christ", because Jesus was apparently super into the nazis.

I was sad to hear about Geoffrey Bayldon dying; he was really good as the Doctor in the two Big Finish plays he did. I was sad BF didn't acknowledge his passing at all, as to me he counts as A Doctor even though he's a very obscure one. Auld Mortality is definitely worth a listen if you've not heard it, although it does have a few baffling references to book continuity.
