Z Nation, Season 4, Episode 1: Warren's Dreams

So a lot happened last season with zona and murphy’s little city and infection and cure and Warren maybe with Murphy disease and 10k shot up with we-don’t even know what and all kinds of things and shenanigans. Honestly the whole of season 3 was a hot mess of chaos - the mix of the main plot line of Zona and Murphy interspaced with sheer random hijinks nonsense. Far too much nonsense. So much nonsense.

I’ll be honest, I found it tiresome. And this first episode of season 4 gives me some hope that they’re trying to put together some kind of coherence for this season

Warren is having some super ominous, burny volcanic dreams: which is all worrisome. Until she wakes up, in a cocoon with a blonde wig and a whole lot of confusion. She nearly kills a small child before having more ominous visions and she collapses again

She wakes up again with Murphy leaning over her. Only he looks human - he’s cured, no longer blue and generally being bright and happy. They’re in Zona, the rich people refuge of civilisation. Apparently the genius of the founder plus Murphy’s blood has created a vaccine against zombieness and everything is happy. The whole town is very very creepy, Murphy is wearing one of those rich people woolen vests which only rich golfers wear. It’s kind of like a required uniform to warn everyone that someone insufferably rich approaches.

Warren is almost dazed as she walks through this place - it’s ridiculously isolated from the rest of reality, full of ludicrously rich and privileged people and the apocalypse hasn’t touched it. It’s just like 21st century America - in a Gated Community for the ludicrously wealthy

According to the residents and Murphy, the rest of the world is terrible. Almost no humans, packs of zombies, everything is death, everything is terrible. And all their companions are dead.

Nice moment of surreality - it being thursday. Zona still has days of the week; this stuns Warren who hasn’t had to measure time like that in 8 years. That, along with the luxury of self driving, personalised cars and even a museum

Despite the shiny look of it all, there’s definitely an undercurrent of ominousness - people wear barcodes and are only allowed in certain areas. Warren also has issues - which Murphy has managed to big her up as a hero and a general and she’s well and politely received by society - but Warren is clearly not comfortable at the idea of less than 10,000 uber wealthy people living in utter luxury and utterly abandoning the rest of the world. She also remembers clearly that this luxury has in part come with kidnapped scientists dragged to Zona whether they wanted to or not. She’s not doing well herself, when going to a posh dinner run by the Founder (who is not in great health - he created the original cure with his blood and it has left him disfigured and with considerable health problems) she finds it all awkward, doesn’t find the cutsey way they discuss fighting zombies palatable. And when she is invited to cut a novelty cake in the shape of a zombie head she has another flamey vision that she ends up splattering it across the room.

Dark Wine at Midnight (Hill Vampire #1) by Jenna Barwin

This book as some excellently original concept. Cerissa is our protagonist and member of a species which either angelic or alien or both - I think both - with arcane powers and technology tasked with investigating the vampires. With her own quest of wanting freedom - because her people are not allowed to live their own lives. It’s an interesting conflict and throws in her playing as a double or triple agent with all the conflicting emotions that come with that, especially as she goes more native

There’s vampire society which has other interesting elements - like a recent war that has heavily divided them, a possible resistance movement, a strict population control, blood rationing and other tension building within

Throw in some deaths and apparently someone attacking them and the ongoing difficulties and tensions caused by the very restrictive treaty after the last vampire war that sets strict limits on vampire behaviour.

So let’s use this to tell the story of… a hot guy disliking a hot woman (for not apparent reason but love stories need to begin with instadislike) but finding her surprisingly compelling and he just can’t resist her and within the space of like, what, two, three weeks he suddenly is deeply and eternally in love with her and she with him. Only he can’t because Tragic Past and he is Unsafe for her to be with. And now there are people trying to keep them apart for Reasons which don’t quite make sense but OBSTACLE is needed.

Oh and she may be an alien angel thing that may destroy all of them but he spends like 5 minutes questioning her motives before focusing more on this romance which is trying to hit bingo of shallow, rather pointless tropes. These tropes aren’t even especially well developed - Henry is sad and self-hating because of a past jealous rage which he just… gets over? I mean this has apparently shaped him and his behaviour for years.

But most glaring is just how quickly Henry mehs Cerissa’s shapeshifting alien/angel woo-wooness. Or how his business, the community, his friends all come to be so much less important to him compared to said shapeshifting alien/angel. Even when he becomes aware that, at least on some level, she has a mandate to investigate vampires (and, one would hope, realises that it’s a step from “investigating” to doing something once you have the results) he seems relatively indifferent. We opened with quite a lot of detail looking at wine since this is Henry’s business… and that just vanishes. We discuss Cerissa‘s plan to open a lab and why this is important to her and for her plans for vampires and her own freedom… or the very nature of the low blood supply the vampires are dealing with: and then we just lose all of it.

3%, Season One, Episode Six: Capítulo 06: Vidro

With only two episodes left, 3% is clearly leaning towards its big finally. Unlike previous episodes, Vidro isn't about filling in the back story of the characters but exposing the characters to the consequences for taking part in the process. The contestants are no longer competing as a group but individually thus raising the stakes even higher. 

It all begins when the contestants are given individual rooms for the very first time. It serves as a hint of the comfort that awaits them offshore should they be successful.  What they don't expect is that the allotment of individual rooms also comes with a new test.  In each room, is a huge container of money.  The contestants are free to take the money, which will drastically change their lives and return inland, or they can risk it all and continue trying to make it to the offshore. The money is no big deal to the people off the offshore because apparently, they don't use currency. 

Fernando is reunited with his father and though the two are happy at first, the reunion does not end well. After everything he has seen, Fernando is ready to quit the process. The money means that his father won't have to work so hard and that they can fix up there home. Fernando's father however won't hear of his son quitting because he believes fully in the process. When Fernando points out that though he was raised to believe in the process, he has come to recognise that this is his father's dream and not his own, Fernando is told that if he quits the process he will be disowned.  Having the possibility of returning home removed from him, Fernando has no choice but to continue on with the process.

Raphael is greeted by his mother who is excited to see the money that Raphael will gain if he quits.  Unlike Fernando, Raphael very much wants to stay in the process despite the fact that the money would help to lift his family out of abject poverty.  Raphael's mother is shocked by this and points out that she always did the best she could by him but Raphael feels differently and points out how many siblings he has.  With an impasse established, Raphael's mother threatens to tell the people overseeing the process that Raphael is actually Diego and that not only did he steal his brother identity, this is the second time he's going through the process. Raphael is shocked by his mother's threat but balances the conflict by saying that he will tell the people in charge of the process that she was in on the scam, thus ensuring that none of her other children will ever qualify for the process again.  Aware that she's beaten, Raphael's mother leaves his room but she yells loudly so that everyone can hear that Raphael has betrayed his family and is not who they think he is. 

Joana is greeted by a man who supposedly lied and claimed that he was her father in order to have access to her. Joana is given two choices, she can either quit the process and walk out with the stranger pretending to be her father,  then surrender her winnings, or he can kill her and go and get the reward from the mob boss whose son she killed.  Joana is stunned and unsure of what to do. In the end, Joana decides to fight back and when she becomes overpowered, she tells the stranger to kill her because she wants to be there and will never quit the process. It turns out that the entire scenario was a test and that Ezequiel knows Joana's background. Ezequiel designed the test to ensure that Joana actually wants to be on the offshore and not simply escape a problem inland.  Joana is relieved when she is informed that she passed her individual test. 

Ezequiel gets the news from Nair that Aline has submitted her review of his work and declared that all of his methods during the process are even handed and fair.  This means that Ezequiel is untouchable unless he decides to quit being the process leader.  Given that Aline is blackmailing him Ezequiel to quit, this heightens Ezequiel's depression.  Cássia finds a depressed Ezequiel in his room and he admits to being blackmailed by Aline. Cássia makes it clear that she believes in Ezequiel and is on his side but says that he has got to pull it together if he is going to rally the troops.  Cássia wants to know what dirt Aline has but at this time, Ezequiel believes it would be better if she didn't know.

Once Upon a Time, Season 7, Episode 1: Hyperion Heights

Once Upon a Time has reached season 7. This means that someone needs to be searching the homes and officers of the producers to check whether they’ve made any demonic pacts (I would suggest the Winchester brothers, but Kripke owes that demon so very much). But apparently they’re going to keep this alive and keep this fresh by completely rebooting the whole series complete with an adult Henry…. And I’m intrigued.

We begin with a nice wordy recap because Once Upon a Time is resting on the quaint illusion that new viewers are coming to this show who haven’t felt the previous 6 seasons. In fact, in this era of catch up, streaming and netflix, does anyone join a show half way through? Anyway we open with a highly questionable scene of Henry setting off on his own - using the old actor for Henry who has aged like 5 years in the last season.

So Henry, as the author, wants to have his own adventure rather than writing everyone else’s. He’s also looked through all the books and found a gazillion versions of every story (therefore conveniently freeing the series to reboot every character and recast them) presumably all with versions of them all. But there’s none of him (hey, there’s none of me either) so he wants to skip college and get out there and adventure. And I call shenanigans because the chances of Regina signing off on this plan are on the far side of remote. Also exactly how’s he going to make a living? It’s not like he has a relative who can spin straw into… ok, I withdraw that. Still his plan is to get on a motorbike, go through a ONE WAY PORTAL and have an adventure trying to hopefully find his way home

SHENANIGANS. Regina would turn him into a frog or a statue before allowing this nonsense to happen! No way she’d let this go ahead and see him drive off. In fact, I can’t even see her tolerating the motorbike let alone anything else!

Also, why is Henry not a sorcerer? Between Granddad Rumplestiltskin, Mother Regina the Evil Queen, Mother Emma, the Saviour, Aunty Zelena, the Wicked Witch of the West Henry has a whoooooole lot of magic heading his way.

So he takes a motorcycle into an Enchanted forest and apparently spends several years (enough for him to change actors, become all grown up and hot enough for me to feel faintly disturbed because it’s hard to get past seeing this character age from childhood even if the actor changed) and in all that time never needed to add petrol to his bike or suffer anything untoward on these unpaved roads (see, magic.)

Until he drives Cinderella off the road. A new Cinderella, not the old one. Thankfully she lives because “And Cinderella was killed in an RTA by a hit and run driver” is bleak even for the brothers Grimm. She is heading to the ball but happy to flirt with the guy on the strange mechanical conveyance who just nearly killed her (he is hot), at least for a little while for him to show her how to work the bike (he’s all ready to help her because he’s Henry and if there’s a story to complete and a happy ever after to make happen then he’s there. Though Cinderella does point out the inanity of glass-slipper identifying true love since there must be a whole lot of ladies out there with her shoe size. I’ve always assumed that Cinderella had some monster massive feet or a killer case of bunions or something) - so she can knock him out and steal it. She’s got a ball to get to. Cinderella you have my attention.

Ok, I know this is a world with magic but I call shenanigans. There is no magic in human imagination which could have that woman, in that dress and those shows, ride a motorcycle.

By somewhat shady means (since he doesn’t know where the ball is nor does he have any conveyance to get there) Henry manages to arrive at the ball to find the whole fairy tale a little less shiny. It seems the Prince is responsible for killing her father, ruining her life and saddling her with an Evil Stepmother (fairytale land - there’s ALWAYS an evil stepmother) so she is going to stab him viciously in response. Using Henry’s monogrammed knife

Van Helsing Season 2, Episode 1: Began Again

Van Helsing has returned and my overwhelming thought is - how did I forget how bad the acting is? Especially the villains. They’re all so desperately competing to be the most over-the-top, shlocky, hilarious villain stereotype ever. And I’m just not sure Van Helsing is embracing this camp ludicrousness and running with it or actually expects to take them seriously

Our opening cameo is clearly for later plot points - there’s a safe space in the mountains, way above the clouds so it gets sunny. The humans there are sending up helium balloons to encourage any other free humans to head for the hills

Away from the hills we have a very annoyed Vanessa trying to get her child Dylan who has developed a distressing taste in dramatic eye make up - a sure sign she’s a vampire. She’s also totally loyal to Rebecca now. Vanessa responds to this by smacking Rebecca around and holding her out to the sunshine to get a really bad sun tan. She’s stopped by Dylan, her beloved daughter, who knocks her out and scarpers.

When she wakes up, Vanessa begins the endless running through this maze of a building (the vampires’ polluting citadel) to try and find Dylan

On the way she runs into Mohammed. Mohammed has found Sheema, his sister, pinned under masonry and she begs for his help - to find some vampires (who have waaaaay more things to worry about right now) to turn her. He, naturally refuses and they have a big moment of his dramatic, emotional denial and her repeating how much she wants to be a vampire, how much it means to her, how much she’s been dreaming about it. To stop her talking Mohammed holds a hand over her mouth - and suffocates her. This is what i mean about this show being tonally weird - the enemies are caricatures of hilarity while we then have these really painful, moving scenes that would be interesting development for Mohammed, if I didn’t partially think it’s actually here to remove an inconvenient character who could have had a nuanced reflection on survival and stockholm syndrome but, alas wasn’t really - and to make sure Mohammed has no real distractions now outside of Vanessa. I really would like to see him develop another storyline, especially since the other Black characters are dead/evil/both.

Vanessa is not sympathetic because of the whole betrayal thing but he follows her anyway probably because she murders vampires really well. To find her daughter she also bites him so she can activate her special Van Helsing Powers with blood so she can smell her. He continues to rip out vampire hearts. She also tries to punch down a steel door with her fists which is worrisome. Slightly more worrisome in that she seems to be actually able to do this. Mohammed my might want to try to be a sidekick to someone less rage obsessed

Meanwhile it’s time to join Dmitri. The most comically awful villain there has ever been on an actual non-comedy show.

He is negotiating with Taka, head of the human resistance who is secretly working with Rebecca (and already killed Brendan to allow him to do this negotiating). He shoots Dmitri in non-lethal fashion when a rather singed Rebecca arrives and then Anastasia arrives (female Dmitri, just as silly and dramatic) and there’s lots of death. Taka is dead, Rebecca is dead, Dmitri is alive, injured and sucking in Taka’s corpse and Anatasia rants away about how carnage is awesome and one day they will return to wreak their revenge and rule again. As any proper villain does. She’s also going to personally hunt down Vanessa because of course. Honestly listening to her is difficult because it’s more than a little funny

Next group is Flesh, the ex-vampire, now going by Phil who meets up with fun and more than a little eccentric gun wielding resistance fighter, Lucky. Phil wants to find Vanessa, his saviour. Lucky wants to find the boilers/generators and blow them up. Time to team up and kill vampires. They do find those generators and blow them up so Lucky’s good. Phil decides to do a blatant CIS examination of Taka and Brendan’s death completely failing to read his audience who are clearly broadcasting “don’t talk shit about our awesome leader!” despite it being clear Brendan was shot. He then follows Dmitri’s blood trail, with Lucky guilting the extras to come along which ends up with them being killed in a really squishy trap by Anastasia.

Time for another comic villain - Dr. Sholomenko

This is the human doctor who experiments on things. In particularly he has been experimenting a lot on Dylan - and he quickly goes to grab her (after a brief encounter with Lucky and Phil) and lure her for more experiments. Vanessa does find him (with Mohammed) and there’s a big dramatic moment with Dr. Sholomenko announcing because of his many experiments, it’s impossible for Vanessa to turn her kid back with a nibble. Since Vanessa is the only person with the healy bite and she hasn’t exactly been around to test there is absolutely no way this WWF understudy extra could possibly know this. But hey, let’s run with this. Dylan objects to this and bites him which makes Dr. Sholomenko super happy because he’s changing into a vampire. Or was until Vanessa shot him a gazillion times in the chest

Also vampire bad guy Julius wants to hunt down Dmitri and kill him for reasons laid out in  a ridiculously overdramatic speech. I don’t have a good mocking picture for him yet, please feel free to suggest one.

Requiem: The Mist

It’s time for another requiem - yes another show we follow has come to an end.

Sometimes a show ends and we mourn. We see the loss of Class and Dark Angel and Almost Human and grieve. We see the loss of Sense8 and we scream our rage to an unfeeling cruel world.

Some we’re conflicted about like Orphan Black but generally were positive. And some we see with a nostalgic sigh but acknowledge it’s time was done like True Blood, Vampire Diaries and Supernatural- ye gods why is this still being renewed?

And sometimes we’ve wanted to dance on it’s grave so much we’ve hired choreographers.

The Good

We actually debated this category because quite honestly we are extremely hard pressed to find anything good about the Mist, at least as it concerns characterisation and plot.

I will however throw The Mist a bone and admit that some the special effects were interesting. Mia’s interaction with her mother’s ghost was somewhat compelling and so was Nathalie and Father Romanov’s little field trip into the mist. Who doesn’t enjoy horsemen of the apocalypse suddenly appearing out of nowhere?

The Bad

I could write a book.

I mean the truly nauseating homophobia we’ve spoken about and will go into when we discuss the diversity.

Then there’s the central plot line of Alex’s rape. First of all… why? When the series started it looked like this would be relevant - there even looked like maybe exploring how rape is treated and rape victims are poorly served by the justice system. Instead it became another way for the town to hate her, seeming to be mixed with how the Misty Monster apparently doesn’t want to eat her, a vehicle with which to indulge in a lot of sex shaming of Eve (and my gods the treatment of Eve - the evil dirty slutwhorejezebel who was redeemed by a Nice Guy), and serve almost like a romance obstacle between Alex and Jay. The convoluted misunderstanding tope so often used to draw out the will-they-won’t-they of love interests. And, of course, a tool to further the homophobic hot mess

At no point was it treated as an important or integral plot line in and of itself - it was a tool to advance other plot lines and something to distract us with while everyone cowered inside with nothing to do.

These elements are so nauseating it’s almost redundant to mention anything else - but there’s also a major problem with the writing

There’s that annoying fast lane dystopia nonsense where people have been locked in the mall or police station for 5 minutes and are already discussing stocking supplies. Or the weird madlib mystery show trope where everyone seems to grasp the rules of the Mist disturbingly quickly (they’re more afraid OF the mist than the idea that there’s something IN the mist). Or how the people in the church were happy to jump on the murder train. Or how people in the mall were happy to banish people to their deaths. These people went from normal to serial killer so quickly the cast of Lord of the Flies would call foul.

And why were Bryan and Mia even there? The show managed to make them both main characters while simultaneously making them utterly pointless...

The Diversity

The main source of Diversity on The Mist unfortunately was Adrian. Given that there are few LGBT characters on the shows we watch we are normally excited to when a new show has an LGBT character but in the case of The Mist, I think we would have been happier with complete and utter erasure.  It became clear early on that Adrian would be a problem when it was suggested that he (a bisexual male) was using his male privilege to gawk at football players. Say what now?  If only this had been the worse thing that happened with Adrian.

By the end of the first and thankfully only season of The Mist, the writers had turned Adrian into a mentally ill rapist who killed people when they discovered just what a monster he is. If that were not enough, Adrian himself was repeatedly subjected to homophobia and the only sex scene he had, began with a gay bashing.  

There were several people of colour but other than Gus Bradley, the manager of the mall and Bryan Hunt, the military officer with amnesia, none of them were particularly memorable. Race isn’t a subject that The Mist chose to work with  but given the treatment of its only LGBT character, I can only say that I am relieved. Beyond being physically present as people of colour none of the characters had a specifically racialised identity or spoke about any fears they may have being in this particular situation as people of colour.

Random stuff

Honestly here we’d say something like “most awesome death” or “favourite clone” or something unique and special about the show. Not here.

I’d like to nominate Morgan Spector in the category of worst mean mug ever. Was I really supposed to take that expression seriously? Did Spector really think that look was supposed to inspire anything other than laughter?

I’d also like to offer some serious kudos to Frances Conroy who seemed to be the only actor capable of selling the ridiculous writing with any kind of convincing portrayal (which is an almost oscar-worthy achievement).  As bad as The Mist was, it would have been infinitely worse without Conroy.

Lucifer, Season 3, Episode 1: They're Back

Lucifer is back! In the middle of the desert, shirtless and with wings and looking fine. The wings I mean, obviously the wings. Those are some good looking wings. Yes.

He’s not particularly happy with things and irritatedly stops a stolen armoured truck and gets involved in some shenanigans with police to get himself back to civilisation.

And Dr. Linda - still recovering from last season and in a wheelchair. I really really really like Dr. Linda. She’s in the know, intelligent and insightful. She knows what it means to have the literal devil in front of her and being his therapist. She’s also, after much familiarity no longer in awe or terrified of them. Yet at the same time she’s knows that these are vastly powerful beings who could easily crush her quite by accident or in the crossfire of their family dramas: something she’s acutely aware of given her current condition. Lucifer demands she cut his wings off as he did before and she refuses. She begs Lucifer not to be rash, to stop and consider what it means to have his wings again and what the consequences could be if he removes them. Specifically she refuses to be caught in the middle of that crossfire. Which he accepts with grace. I do really like Linda and Lucifer together.#

Also snark. Lots of witty snark is always appreciated (bemusement about wings as body hair particularly)

Next step is to the police station where it’s apparent, due to his pained reaction when Dan touches his back, that Lucifer has ignored Linda and cut off his wings. Despite being kidnapped and dropped in the desert no-one noticed he’d gone: 2 days absence doesn’t cause much of a stir. He’s also concerned about the message he left Chloe last season promising to explain everything - she brushes it off. She understands that sometimes you get drunk and call someone leave a message you didn’t mean and then try to take it back. She’s not upset (oh the perils of drunk late night messages!)

But when he starts to ramble about his dad kidnapping and god and devil and wings etc etc etc Chloe isn’t impressed. She tries to follow along with his issues and family drama but how can she. It definitely doesn’t lend credibility to his claim of being kidnapped

We also have Amenadiel show up (am I the only one who finds it a little weird that random members of the public without ID even can just wander around a police station unescorted - not even just reception but just about anywhere?). Lucifer carefully doesn’t tell his brother he has his wings back since Amenadiel does not have his shiny powers again. He fears Amenadiel may not react well. He does tell him all about their mother’s moving to a new dimension since Amenadiel doesn’t speak Lucifer emoji speach

And we have a new character - Lieutenant Pierce, their boss. Ella loves him (and Ella is always quirky and cool - and greets Amenadiel who she’s never met before with a hug, because Ella) but he’s completely dismissive of Chloe, decides Lucifer’s sex life is worthy of comment and disgust and decides to talk about Dan’s crooked copness (ok, the latter case he kind of has a point). So, arsehole.

To the crime of the week! So, when Lucifer drags Chloe to the scene of his kidnapping they find a body! Actually no-one suspects Lucifer of being involved which you think they kind of would since he led them to the body and all - apparently not. They follow a line of clues to a guy who arranged to have the dead man kidnapped - ok side note. This character makes comments on Chloe’s attractiveness specifically her breasts and backside… which Lucifer takes offence to and throws the man off a balcony.

American Horror Story, Season 7 (Cult), Episode 5: Holes

This episode follows on the surprise of the last episode - actually not being an absolute trainwreck of awful. Is it possible that this season may turn it around after the first 3 episodes of seemingly irredeemable awfulness

Again, when the show moves away from the utter farcically awful political storyline it actually hits cults really well. But when it does touch the politics it all falls apart because it’s been so badly thought out. Like this episode where we officially confirm that Ivy is definitely an evil cult member and like others she wants to burn the whole world down because she hates everything including her wife for voting Jill Stein.

Really? I mean, work on the fact that their marriage was a bit rocky (as we saw in a couple of flashbacks because someone on the writer’s team tried to make it fit) but “Burn the world because she voted third party!” is… just silly. And it is extra silly because we put it alongside what we saw last week and it feels hollow. Also, voting for Jill Stein and a miserable marriage means it's totally ok to arrange to have your son see a video of his other mother having sex in a bathtub? Really?

But when we focus on the actual cult which we do for most of the episode, it’s better. Now it is super super gruesome so your mileage may vary there if you hate gore for the sake of gore. Personally it doesn’t bother me and that “horror” in there kind of lays it out but there is a whole lot of really nasty death here.

Kai wants to be city councillor because people don’t listen to experts they listen to titles and this is the only election around… ok… but it’s still city councillor. Yes people tend to listen to titles… but not any title? “I Am Superintedent of Schools Smith. OBEY ME!” But hey, run with it. To do this he wants to make everyone scared out of their mind so they will vote for him the extremist candidate. I would question if a city councillor even has the requisite powers to address major serial killer fears but then I remember UKIP ran a mayoral candidate for the town of Doncaster on an anti-immigrant ticket; it’s not even close to a border or the coast so gods know what he expected to do. So, yeah, thanks real life for continuing to be more awful and more stupid than fiction.

So what’s the plan? Beverley steps up: people need to see the horrible gruesome crimes. Sure they’ve killed people with horrible theatrical clown costumes, but no-one’s seen them especially since her boss, Bob, is suppressing the images. He’s also getting in the way of her reporting, calling her out on blatant fake news and sensationalism (and in a shout out to Real Life is the Worst, “crime is out of control” scaremongering when we’ve never been safer is definitely a thing the actual news does). He’s in the way.

Time for a murder visit to Bob which they can transmit with lots of satanic chanting. And all recorded by RJ, Bev’s camera man and clearly reluctant cult member.
