One Year Of The Newsreader’s Season Two!

.

.

Today is the 10th of September, and guess what happened this day, one year ago? After almost 24 months of being off air, The Newsreader returned with its second season. Today, Decision 87 is a full year old! (Well, technically 37 years old 😉)

Season Two is a year old; my goodness, that came around fast, didn’t it? After pretty much clawing at every hard surface I could find in frustration over having to wait for Season Two (it had been a long time since Season One finished, after all), sitting down to watch this debut episode of Season Two was the biggest sense of release and excitement. No one could talk to me for that hour, I was far too transfixed on the telly. After 24 months of waiting for this, do you blame me?

Decision 87 is now one of my top favourite episodes of the show. My favourite episodes of The Newsreader are the ones with the strongest focus on their historical events, and Decision 87 absolutely fit that criteria. The season truly did come in swinging, with all sorts of nerdy political goodness, faux interviews with real politicians, CGIed tally room appearances, and references to Romper Room and variety shows of Australia’s past just to make the episode even sweeter.

There was truly so much heart and exhilaration in Decision 87, and it was the perfect way to welcome the show back to our screens after so long of being off air. A lot happened in that 24 months in between, for the cast, crew and fans alike, but we got there, and we all got to dance our way into this much anticipated season alongside each other, and Aretha Franklin and George Michael too 😉

Happy first birthday to Season Two and Decision 87! What were your personal highlights of this episode?

Review: The Envoys of War by Dave Lawson — SFF Insiders

Been a while since y'know. These sprites.

My Saturday Evening:

"I'm going to watch something NOT KITH-related tonight-- I won't think about The Kids in the Hall at all... ooh, how about some home-grown Aussie TV..."

"The reboot of 'Thank God You're Here' is on tonight. Nice. Improv with some Australian comedians--fun! "

"Wait. Wasn't Dave Foley the judge on the short-lived American version? So what? Back to the show..."

"Guest judge is Josh Lawson tonight, cool. Now, what did I see him in recently?"

"That's right, he played Tate the pharmacist...in...Superstore..."

"...alongside Mark McKinney."

"How good was this scene, lolz"

"But not as good as the scene where Dave eats dog food, when he guest stars in an episode."

"And now I want to watch The Kids in the Hall."

Mortal Kombat (2021)

My rating: 4/10

Of course the real battle here was between myself and overwhelming boredom, and given that I ended up falling asleep about half an hour into this, I suppose boredom won. This is, basically, the unskippable cutscene at the beginning of the game, stretched to feature length and filled with pointless fanservice - did anybody else fly into a white hot rage every time they said a catchphrase from the games for absolutely no good reason?

I haven't really scratched the surface about these mercurial musician figures in my discussions on them and their works that continue to astound us with their strong ability to be quite surprising. Nonetheless, I would say Miles Davis should be seen as one of the most prominent members of the category thanks to him basically remodifying himself a lot throughout his career. Look, he could've coasted on what he did during the 50's and the 60's, yet his 70's remain one of the most shocking explorations in … well, we should say jazz, he was the master of the idiom, though his albums from In A Silent Way basically went into the weirdest directions, causing many to be baffled by Davis' direction. However, Davis' 70's records show you the sort of freedom only jazz can provide.

Ranking drivers based on how funny I think they would be on drunk history.

-would like everyone to know if charles and max were sharing a story and like saying it the same room they woud be top of my list cause they are just so unhinged when together... I would pay to see that-

Fernando Alonso: He is SO unhinged I feel like the one liners would be hilarious. I dont think he would act super drunk which I think would make it SO much funnier.

Yuki Tsunoda: I feel like he would act drunk and just keep swearing. To me he would be the one that keeps parafrasing what people say in funny ways ie: marie antonet "let them eat cake" to like "then she was all go eat the cake *pantomime shoving cake in someones face*"

Checo: Once he is let loose I think it would dbe hilarius. Also think about how much he would try and relate the historical thing to his current life

Daniel Ricciardo: Dude I think it would be a blast he just has a lot of natural charisma also think about all the things he would blurt out with less of a filer

Valtteri Bottas: I am of the opinion that the quite people have the funniest thoughts

Max Verstappen: dude people with that much trama are the funniest ever. But he is drunk so its a toss up if hes louder or quiter

Nico Hulkenberg: I stand by the fact that Dads are inherently funny in the formate of drunk history. there is something about dads that leads to very badly told history lessions that get funny once you add alcohol

Charles Leclerc: dude would just go on so many tangents I want to ee what the skits would turn into cause how the hell would they work a freaking dog and max verstappen into something like the french revolution (side note if it was anything french this man would 100% clarify a LOT that he is not french even if he is covering french history)

Kevin Magnussen: again Dad engery is hilarius

Franco Colapinto: THe fact that he wouldnt be able to keep on track would be funny, also think about him randomly slipping into spanish when telling a story thats like based on somewhere nowhere near a spanish speaking country

Pierre Gasly: dude would spend like half the episode speaking in french. Also think about all the times hed be like "yeah and that was a lot like the time x driver and x driver"

Carlos Sainz: He just doesnt strike me as funny drunk. though I do think his acting would be funny

Alex Albon: he would stick mostly to the script but the like 4 or 5 times he divates is funny enough to get this high

Logan Sargeant: I just want to see him fumble really long names. It would be a funny one where he would try like twice and than go lafieate is now going to be known as dave cause thats a hard name to say.

Liam Lawson: I feel like the guy would get so into it esspecially if its a war based episode. but like into it in a weird way that makes people go huh

Oscar Piastri: I dont think he would stray to far from the history itself

Zhou Guanyu: I dont htink there would be much straying from the script

Esteban Ocon: unless it was soemthing he generally liked it would be so very bland, and even then I dont think he would be drunk history funny

Lando Norris: I honestly think he would be more annoying than funny, and try to fource a joke but itll not work at all

Lance Stroll: I just dont think he can make funny jokes. If he has Ive never seen nor laughed at them.

Lewis Hamilton: He would be giggling and then the story would be kinda similar to brocedies so he would shut down fast.

George Russell: I think he just straight up wouldnt make sense or he would just straight faced tell the story with very little embeleshments.

Eh. Something I ain't have to really try on here. :)

Opposite aspects. :3

Fourth MLM Ship Bracket Propaganda Submissions

Below you will find all of the submitted and approved ships for the Fourth MLM Ship Bracket Tournament along with the form to submit further propaganda at the bottom

This is another opportunity to submit propaganda for your favorite ships. Wether you were unable to submit propaganda for them in the initial form or you spot your favorite ship who has no propaganda submitted. Ships with a strikethrough have propaganda submitted, I will continue to update this post as propaganda is submitted. I will accept further propaganda for ships with already submitted propaganda but please prioritize those with out.

The goal is to have propaganda for all ships but I understand that may not be possible. Therefore I will be leaving the form open for a few weeks to see if we receive propaganda for at least half the ships.

Note: Please reach out to me if you spot any mistakes in character or fandom names, even if it is only formatting or spelling issues.
