TWoP recaps

[slemslempike]

Victoria demands both supper and clothes for Miss Tyler: "I'm tired of nakedness." (Yeah, and 250 years later you still need a prescription for Plan B, you old bitch.)

So Jacob (Televisionwithoutpity recapper), in addition to misunderstanding at least half of the cultural references in Doctor Who and being too much of a fool to ask about them, thinks that Queen Victoria is to blame for the state of reproductive freedom in the United States? An entirely separate country both then and now? Although he's probably not aware of it, in Britain we don't need a prescription for emergency contraception anymore. And even when we did I don't think that there were many people refusing to sell it. But that aside, what? He also brings up the whole Victorians covering furniture legs for modesty and is generally rather dire. Last series I read the recaps because they were hilariously awful, and now he has sucked out the hilarity. Now I read because I like a nice bit of controlled hatred in my life.

I didn't know that! That's great.

yes, she loved her Albert all right. wink wink nudge nudge.

I just found that Jacob guy's recap to be baffling and hard to understand. Plus, what is this Plan B thing he refers to? I wouldn't have known it was even a contraceptive if you hadn't said!

Plan B is the morning after pill. Or rather, it's a brand name for the morning after pill. I know it because I get a lot of US feminist emails about it.

Apparently she called having children the 'shadow side' of all the fun sex. Must get paper source for that, am going on a TV documentary at the mo...

If you do find it, do let me know. If she said "fun" at all, it will be very useful for random things to throw at my supervisors about fun and sex.
