I have a cheapish samsung tablet that has blue light filtering, a black and white option, and super low screen brightness options. Low enough that if you're in a dark room, it's low enough that i can't have it all the way down and still read.

I hope you're getting royalties

Yes. But smaller, and with a screen where the keyboard should be, and no bezel between the screens. Media consumption device, not something for any real productivity. Very lightweight, good for watching youtube or hulu, but clamshell so it protects the screen.

Same! I had the LG v60 dual screen case, and loved it. Thats the farthest I'm willing to go, though. It was unwieldy, and almost impossible to use a popsocket with, no way to use a wallet case, et cetera. It's not worth that price tag for less options just for the occasional use of a bigger screen.

Now, foldable tablet? That's something I'd be down for (in theory. I am poor.). Closes up small enough for a pocket, folds out when you use it. Only screen on one side, so it can tossed in a bag without worrying about it, because it's closed up and the screen is protected.

I think the logic was that the goblins were singing, like, as part of their culture. Not like Musical logic, but more like how some cultures pray in song, or some cultures chant. Goblins sing big numbers as a way of worshipping/venerating the goblin king, or perhaps it's similar to how Christians say grace before a meal. Gotta sing for your dinner. The doctor and Ruby just took advantage of that aspect of their culture and Bugs Bunny'd their way outta there.

Yes! Major neverwhere vibes!

So, I rarely like a doctor for the first several episodes, my brain can't get past the last doctor. Took me forever with Smith. I always end up rewatching them later and loving them, it's just that I can't handle the sudden differentness well.

All that said, I really freaking enjoyed this one. I'm not fully in love with Ncuti yet, but I did really enjoy the episode, and LOVED the song. Oddly, the only Doctor I loved first off was Jodi. Ncuti is closer than most, though.

Also. That kilt. Meow.

Also loving the new sonic.

Forgot to mention, Ruby really reminds me of Clara in the best way.

It is pronounced Captain BOUQUET!

Thanks for the tip!

I am unreasonably excited about this. Where I live, there's no decent options for Internet or cell signal. Which means normal calling/texting doesn't work, and regular Wi-Fi calling/texting is choppy at the best of times. My whole family uses WhatsApp for everything. I'm hoping I can get them to switch to something like this once it's stable.

Did Dan ever get the messaging service Sup going? Tried to look it up, but his name being Dansup is throwing a wrench in my Googlefu.
