Partially because I know some of the spoilers about certain characters showing up.

Whee! Nice to see you around and glad you're okay and have survived the last year! I imagine you're missing your karaoke just as much as I'm missing my choir, dancing and drama rehearsals - can't believe it's been over a year now without any live music in my life!

And yay for catching up with Doctor Who! I too am finally catching - with a rewatch in my case but since I have only seen any of these episodes once and can barely remember anything about them it's almost like watching for the first time!

Jackster and I have finally got through S11 (which was a REAL SLOG) and are looking forward to S12 which definitely had some amazing episodes and as far as I remember even the dull ones weren't quite as dull as S11...

So there will be nattering about the eps you're talking about here over the next few weeks (we're doing mostly one ep a week on Fridays) but for the time being let me just say I loved Spyfall Part 1 ( reaction post here) but was disappointed by Part 2, don't remember much at all about Orphan 55, remember quite enjoying the Tesla one but not enough to write any notes, and obviously there was MEGA squee over Fugitive (see here, here and here). You cannot imagine my reaction, going in completely unspoiled, to hearing that voice and going, "That sounds like... OMG, it is!!!" It wasn't until later that I got excited about the other Doctor stuff too, because that was awesome too!

Unfortunately, from memory, I think they crammed most of the good stuff for the whole season into that one episode because I can't remember much about the rest of it except the finale, but we shall see...

Oh, hang on, I did review Spyfall Part 2 but LJ didn't copy the tags across from DW - which, I've just discovered, happened a lot last year! (Well, often it wasn't copying entries across at all. It's amazing there's anything here, tbh!)

We binged watched the rest of the season. Some good stuff, but NOTHING as incredible as THAT MOMENT. I downloaded the New Year's Special and all the Jack stuff was just one big happy dance for me. I'm not engaging about it anywhere but here for obvious reasons and I'm not looking to fight the battles again. But seriously....I mean he's even going to see GWEN!!!! What's not to love? I'll go read your recaps now.

It's going to be a while until we get real Karaoke back, even if the planned June 15 "reopening" goes through. In the meantime, it's still virtual and I even have my own pink microphone.
