Everything Makes Sense.
The Kingdom Hearts Let's Play we've been watching as a household is approaching the end of Kingdom Hearts II, and the plot of this game somehow manages to be even more bewildering than I remember. 'There are two of this one-of-a-kind handmade pouch and crystal. From this we have correctly concluded that the second set came from an alternate universe, and you must be able to get to this alternate universe through that mansion over there, and your kidnapped friend must be there.'
('Everything makes sense,' Hayner says, word-for-word, after putting forward this theory.)
In order to get to the alternate universe, they have to enter an unknown password. They get it first try by entering the flavour of an ice cream a duck found in a box on a different planet.
Meanwhile, Winnie-the-Pooh has an out-of-body experience.
('WHY IS THIS SO ROMANTIC?' I found myself yelling at the screen during one scene between Sora and Winnie-the-Pooh.)
Kingdom Hearts III is going to be so stupid. I'm very excited.
(The opening video, or part of it, has already been released! It fits with Kingdom Hearts tradition in being pretty and weird, and somewhat breaks from tradition in being backed by Skrillex. It also displays admirable restraint in having only two scenes in which characters fall through space for no reason, unless the meteor at 0.11 is actually a person (it's probably a person), in which case there are three.)
I just heard the Backstreet Boys' 'I Want It That Way' and remembered that a primary-school friend of mine once sang me the 'clever' rewrite 'Which Backstreet Boy Is Gay?' (concluding line: 'Okay, we're all gay').
Being an extremely credulous child, I thought these were the actual lyrics and was impressed by the Backstreet Boys' honesty.
While I'm suddenly recalling things, I haven't thought about Stargate in years, but the best moment in the entirety of SG-1 just came back to me: the team go back in time to the Cold War, and a US military man asks them, in Russian, 'Are you Soviet spies?' and Daniel answers, in Russian, 'No,' and they all get arrested.
I can't remember how far I got with Stargate: SG-1. Maybe one day I'll get DVDs and have a proper crack at watching the show through. But half the episodes are so bad! I love the characters, but the episodes are so bad.
