Glad I’m not the only one. I watched S2 once. 🤮🤮🤮 That was enough. I watched season 1 at LEAST 12 times. I’ve seen better written sit coms!

just finished another GO S2 rewatch.

what the actual duck!

Finally sat down and watched Good Omens all the way through both seasons. Michael Sheen and David Tennent deserve some kind of medal for putting the show on their back and managing to drag it as far as they have. Unlike, say Jon Hamm and Shelley Conn, or Jack Whitehall and Adria Arjona, or Nina Sosanya and Maggie Service, they have actual on-screen chemistry, a charisma where the two of them play off each other so beautifully it is a problem because when they're not together on screen nothing has the same energy or verve (especially in season 1. which somehow managed to make Pulcifer even more ineffectual and inessential than the book did). Neil Gaiman and John Finnermore are some of my favourite writers (Cabin Pressure, for pity's sake), but in both seasons of the show the pacing takes a nosedive midway through, and Good Omens 2 doesn't have the excuse of the first season in having to faithfully-recreate a poorly-paced book. The finale of Good Omens 2 feels like modern television in a nutshell: a really intense, well-acted, emotional scene between two great actors that is faintly baffling given the narrative logic that doesn't exist to get you to that point. GO2 in particular reaches a sort of interesting intellectual high-point with Job (that it still chickens out of) and then fills the lead-up to the end with the world's slowest demon army and dropping interesting developments with Miranda Richardson in favour of her putting on some weird armor and... doing... something. A series of bizarre acting choices, perhaps. It's all sorts of disappointing. I can absolutely see why people latched on to it and praised it, because I can see all the bits they latched on to, and all the bits they didn't think about because most people don't these days which is why so many weak scripts go as far as they do. Seriousy, though, l kept waiting for someone to take Maggie aside and say 'she's really not actually into you, cut it out' and it never happened.

Where can I listen to Cabin Fever? Assuming it’s a John Finnermore quarantine project and not just fandom drabbles

It’s on youtube! So far there has been 12 episodes, here’s the first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhTBp1DRfx4

It's the most wonderful time of the year

That's a not just a song this year. Let me prove it to you with this gentle reminder: On the 22nd (through the 27th): we have a Neil GAIMAN + Terry Pratchett's radio treat: Good Omens. I just can't type all of its awesomeness (Louise Brealey, Colin Morgan, Peter Serafinowicz...!!)so here are some nice links: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2014/cabin-pressure-good-omens http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2014-11-27/good-omens-terry-pratchett-and-neil-gaimans-radio-drama-gets-a-release-date-and-new-pictures

23rd and 24th of december we get the "Cabin Pressure" finale. The radio comedy to rule all the other radio comedies (let me be dramatic, please, these are roungh days ).The "Zurich" we've been eagerly waiting for ever since that golden day "Abu Dhabi" and its hilarious characters came to brighten our life.

And then, the culmination of all this fest: the Doctor Who Christmas Special with N I C K  F R O S T. Yes, imagine it, Capaldi's eyebrows AND Frost as Santa. And if it turns out that Santa is an Alien , then we'll have Twelve fightin alien-santa-Frost, and it's so overwhelming a thought I just can't think about it while attending my other daily duties.

(I know, last year was great too, even better one might say, but hey, we'll always have the food, hopefully. And the restoring thought of Sherlock Xmas Special in 2015. So let's just be grateful : it's a great galaxy to live in) Have a Jolly Holiday Season.

Gonig through John Finnemore's blog posts about Cabin Pressure (and, admittedly, all his other stuff too) and found this gem.

I love how the Cabin Pressure fandom is having a mental breakdown and the rest of tumblr is pretending not to notice

Cabin Pressure Yverdon-les-Bains

And then suddenly, in the middle of something very important, the faceless cold voice of a serial killer from the studio of BBC Radio 4 told me it was the last episode of the present series.

What am I supposed to listen whilst knitting my 4th Doctor's scarf on Wednesday evenings?!!!
