So - a new crop of Buffy reactors has appeared in the last year on YT - a lot of them seem to compare Supernatural with BTVS. Personally, I'm not seeing it so far - are you?

A Classic Who question! Here is a rather stupid idea, and I wonder what you think of it? It's often commented on how Lethbridge-Stewart is very quick to accept the Doctor's story about the TARDIS, and risk the lives of all the men under his command to try and get to it. Obviously within the context of the story as written at the time, this was presumably to help add suspicion about whether he could be the one under the control of the Intelligence. But what if, some fifty years on, Twice Upon a Time gives us another explanation? What if, somehow, Lethbridge-Stewart's grandfather remembered enough of his encounter with the Doctor to eventually tell his young grandson stories of other-worldly police boxes? And that, all those years later, the now Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart remembered this? Could that be why he is so quick to accept the Doctor's story? I don't usually like ideas where things all link together like that as I think it makes the fictional universe seem very small. But I quite fancy that idea. What do you think?

The End of the F***ing World: 1) I think I remember the season 1 finale was meant to act as if it was a series finale. Would you have liked if the show had ended there or are you glad they chose to develop the story a little more? And would you have liked that as a final ending? 2) What do you think about the juxtaposition between James and Alyssa's fathers, and how the different ways the kids treated them? Do you think James might have been able to reconsider his feelings towards his dad after what he experienced with Alyssa's father? What did you make of season 1's themes of rebelling and escape, with that teenage angst of wanting to run away from adults and thinking they're out to get you? 3) What were your thoughts on season 2's decision to bring back the character of Clive and circling the story back to that crime? And the introduction of Bonnie as a new perspective on how those events played out? 4) How would you compare the/do you see any parallels between the coupling of James and Alyssa vs that of Bonnie and Clive (get it? lol). Where James' initial idea was to kill Alyssa, but his slowly growing love for her (arguably) could redeem his behaviour, while Bonnie is so desperate for love/affection that she's willing to kill for Clive's honor, despite the fact that he blatantly used her 5) After seeing a season of it, what do you think about the show's tone? How it toys with your emotions and likes to tie the line between a dark comedy and a dark dramedy. Supernatural: 1) How are you warming to the characters of Sam and Dean and their relationship? Do you think them hunting together is good for their relationship and is letting them develop closer in a good way? Do you think Sam is hunting with Dean because he really wants to or do you think he's mainly only interested with finding the monster responsible for killing their mom/Jessica? 2) What did you think of the brothers being able to have a moment of closure by seeing their mom? Do you think they both got different things out of the experience since Dean has a much stronger connection and memory of his mom than Sam does? 3) From what you can tell so far, what do you make of John's decision not to see his boys despite having the opportunity to? Instead keeping to himself instead of, at the very least, letting them know he's still alive? 4) Stepping away from the plot, do you have a favourite 'supernatural creature' that's shown up this far? And are there any that you hope the show will explore?

Classic Who: Now that you have read/watched the first two stories with The Great Intelligence, how do you think they match up with the Eleventh Doctor stories which effectively book end these two? As you are nearing the end of the Second Doctor's second season, is there anything you are hoping to see in his third? General: Now that you have had your Youtube Channel for a number of years, are there any reactions that you are surprised by the number of views they have gotten? Either in terms of how high or low the number of times they have been viewed over the long run.

This is something I have also noticed. For anyone interested Alley Box has been doing some very enjoyable Buffy reactions.

1) Both Enemy and Web have rather abrupt endings,because they are designed to lead immediately into the next story. New Who did this occasionally as well (the ending of The Poison Sky e.g.) Do these sorts of endings work for you;or do you prefer the story conclusions to be more clear-cut? 2) You are almost at the end of the Missing Story era....well done on making it through! Even though you read detailed synopses of these stories,do you feel that you missed out on having a more personal connection with some of the characters?
