Pair this with the "Every Good Body Deserves Favour" flashback from the novel Backwards for additional layers of sickness.

so, does anyone else feel sick about the fact that, in the books, Rimmer spends as much of his free time as possible in stasis (he literally spends a year's worth of time in stasis, over the course of five years), and that, officially, stasis booths are only ever used for penal reasons? does anyone else feel sick about the implications that Rimmer has been voluntarily punishing himself for five years straight?

Abbreviated subtitles are the absolute goddamn worst, and they should be illegal.

My earliest early memories of the show are the least convincing asteroids in television history whooshing across the screen during the end credits of the Sylvester McCoy era, which ended - along with the show - when I was 3 years old.

One of my earliest memories is a clip from what I have only recently discovered was one of the surviving episodes from "The Abominable Snowmen" of the Second Doctor, Jamie and Victoria running down a cliff face, which I believe aired during a Doctor Who night, probably on the BBC.

You always remember a bad nurse. You never forget a good one.

I still remember the nurses who laughed at me after major spine surgery when I was walking around with my butt out because I didn't know to bring shorts to the hospital and wasn't allowed to double my gowns due to the incision location. I still remember the aid who told me that I smelled after days of being unable to move my limbs or get out of bed while sweating uncontrollably from spinal shock and agonizing pain. I sat and cried after that because I had overcome so much that hospital stay just to be dehumanized. Never did they ask if I wanted something to cover up or assistance bathing. Just laughed at me and joked with each other.

I also remember the nurse who checked on me extra during the night with a hospital stay in the middle of covid because they kicked my mom out and I have trauma about being in the hospital alone. She made extra visits to make sure I was okay just like she promised my mom. I remember the nurse who held my hand and called me honey as my limbs trashed and shook from spinal shock.

Basically being a good nurse and being a bad nurse to patients does stay with a person. It's been years and many other hospital stays since a lot of these instances and I still remember them clearly. I know nurses are burnt out, traumatized, and exhausted. Nurses deserve better treatment. But so do patients.

The original comic version of Jump Leads lifts one or two lines from Red Dwarf, but that was more of a "wearing your influences on your sleeve" type deal than "I like that line so I'm stealing it."

Do you ever see a line you think is really cool so you want to use it in your own stories?

I mean sometimes I’ll think of a line and write it down to use later, but as far as seeing a line and thinking “Yeah I’ll take that,” nah. Unless it is an intentional reference, I avoid that. That’s plagiarism xD

Going to the ren faire is a great time! Though I will warn you that, once there, you will be forced to contend with the type of person who goes to the ren faire.

Using the bathroom in general is a human right and should be enshrined as such and I'm not joking. Too many groups of people are denied bathroom breaks or the use of bathrooms entirely--disabled people, blue-collar workers, children, homeless people, prisoners, students, the elderly. I'm surely missing other groups. Not using the bathroom when needed can cause serious, long-term damage, not to mention death. Free, clean, accessible bathrooms should be available everywhere. It's fucking cruel to deny someone the use of the bathroom, regardless of the reasoning. I'd rather every student in the world goof off and every homeless person make a mess and every worker "steal company time" than let one person suffer because they're denied the right to fucking pee in peace.

Well, it's done. Tomorrow sees the release of the final ever episode of The Game of Rassilon - the Doctor Who RPG actual-play podcast my friends and I have done for five years now. For half a decade, I've gotten to tell some amazing stories with some of my closest friends in the universe. It's been an honor and a joy.

If you listen, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't listen... well, there are 107 episodes. Give it a go. You might enjoy it!
