Notes on - Evil: Seven Swans a Singin'

 

Notes on Seven Swans a Singin

Nice choice to begin with singing of Christmas carols

Ben and Kristen walking into a catholic school

Why are David and Kristen both distracted

Bishop Marx is concerned about the school’s liability. Typical

The girls can’t stop singing the same song over again. It is, admittedly, lovely.

This feels like a very show choir kid problem.

The girls honestly don’t know what the song is that they’re singing and can only stop for brief intervals before compulsively starting again.

They sing because ‘it feels good.’ And hear the song in their heads.

And they map any other songs lyrics onto the tune

Stuck song syndrome? Is that a real thing?

She gave them gum as a cure

Bishop Marx: Kristen, was it?

Kristen: It was.

Marx doesn’t remember her name for certain yet?

Lexi. I still can’t keep the girls straight

Sami is bullying Lexi in school. And Sheryl advises revenge via brick to the face. Darkly funny

So unexpected that Sheryl would offer up this advice so straightforwardly. Jesus.

Sheryl: You either make ‘em your bitch, or they make you theirs.

What church is David in?

He’s going to confession somewhere where they don’t know him

So David did have sex with Lawyer lady Renee

Why isn’t David telling the priest about being at Seminary

I love a giant nativity scene. You see them all the time on TV and movies but never in real life

OK, the breath mist heart being on theinside of the windshield was very well executed on film and also super creepy. SO well done

Kristen has caught the song-contagion

I’m just going to say it. Andy is hot

Kristen: How do I find it?

Lynn: There’s this thing called the internet, mom.

Pudsey’s Christmas. It’s pretty funny

Santa got high. Is that Jonathan Coulton???

Most of the choir has caught the song contagion now

Love these credits and how fluid they are

Psychogenic illness?? Was there really a laughter epidemic in tanzenia in 1962? Must research

Emotions are contagious. True.

Was that archival footage?

It usually dies out on its own

Dancing

Ben: I’m sorry, it’s just half of the things you talk about sound made up.

Ben’s go to is kind of asbestos

Parenting looks hard

I love when the girls dialog turns into chaos

Lexis gave up Grandma immediately.

And grandma’s advice totally worked

Sheryl is gaslighting the shit out of Kristen

What’s the card on David’s bed?

In his dead fiancees handwriting??

Renee thought they were trying to stay away from each other

David thinks Renee left the note, but she didn’t. So who did???

The produce at the school is shit and has pesticide issues. Could that make them sing? Seems more tenuous than usual.

And now lots of ear stabbings

Lexi: You told me to hit Sami.

Sheryl: Prove it.

Is this good grandma behavior or bad grandma behavior??

Snitches get stitches

Who does Leland have in the duffel bag? Very funny sight gag

Would the ear canal really survive that?

So the main victim doesn’t fall into any predictive category?

Melindaz?

Melindaz challenge?

Will go crazy!!!

Sadly believable

Kristen: This is no time for bravery. I’m going to let you.

Kristen got them Christmas presents and neither of the guys though to do so.

I like the color of David’s Christmas gift hoodie

Very thoughtful presents

The girls are singing other songs now. That’s good.

Lynn may or may not have seen Melindaz

Andy was hoping Kristen was watching porn

Andy is still so likeable at this stage

Melindaz’ graphics are laughably stupid

Very bloody mary

Why are the girls all saying it too??

Kristen, David, and Ben all say Melindaz’ challenge

David just got a wi-fi poke from a picture of his dead fiancée

Lots of them

And so has Renee apparently

Oh, it was Renee, not the fiancée

Do compasses still exist?

Which daughter pierced her ear? Lila?

There’s a hidden voice in the video that only children can hear

Ben: Yes. Science is weird.

There’s a suicide instruction track buried in Melindaz video

Awww, David and Ben got a make up gift for kriisten

David’s wearing Kristten’s scarf. Nice

Lila never gets much of a plotline

Be part of an army? What’s that now?

Nice earrings

Melinda seems like a basically decent person if shallow

A guy named Mike gave her the background track

So Leland is behind the background track. Why does he want girls to sing the song? Is it all about putting out eardrums?

What’s the end goal here?

So Leland got her 2 million followers in return for her soul

Is this true about potatoes? I kind of love this story. I hope it’s true

*** The forbidden is always desirable.

David went back and explained that he was in  the seminary. Good for him

Giant nativity scene!

And machete attack!

How would David survive this?goes

Who sent this guy?

So do we assume the singing infection just passed?

Kristen’s phone call goes unanswered

Notes on - Doctor Who: Wish World

  Wish World notes Pretty white horse Bavaria 1865. I wonder what’s special about that year? Very fairy tale atmosphere It’s the new Rani Frau Rani Herr Zufall. Seventh son of a seventh son. And his 7 th son was just born Do not hand your baby to this woman. If she hadn’t, would the Rani have had control over the baby’s powers? Bavaria is kind of the home of fairy tales They’re very much setting the atmosphere by associating this with the foundation of so many fairy tales. The 7 th sons, and the woodcutter, and the cottage in the forest and all that Good on you Violett How is the Rani magically turning women into violets? Cool effect though The Rani has always stood for the opposite of this magic stuff All of her transformations are fun to watch though. I like the ducks Does this track with the Rani we’ve always known? What’s the one very special wish. We totally expect the alarm to be stopped by Ruby, but it’s the Doctor in bed with Belinda??? ...

Notes on - Doctor Who: The Reality War

  The Reality War notes Very brief recap. Cut straight to falling balcony. Good choice I like the falling buildings imagery. ANITA!!! Love her! Did they know Anita was going to come back all along, or did they just recognize her awesomeness? Rani: A magic door? He had an actual MAGIC DOOR?! The little… Mrs. Flood: Too late. Wait, the day just reset?   We’re back to the start of 5/23 But of course the Doctor was out of the reset area, so Belinda woke up alone So the world isn’t destroyed on May 24 th , It just never gets there. That’s an interesting twist. I did not see that coming. Very clever resolution to the cliffhanger that furthers the plot with new information This is such a good usage of the last Christmas episode Anita is seeing Ricardo, head of HR The hotel is in spasm, because their time shouldn’t exist. Anita has taken a class on Doctor Who terms, apparently On her days off she looks for the Doctor. Fun clips from new and classic Who. I w...
