On ‘Hollyoaks’: Ziggy is shirtless. Why hasn’t Diane thrown Ste the freeloader out? Esther’s storyline must have originally been Sinead’s. Tony is an orange homophobe. Cleo is overwhelmingly offensive. TPTB make her look knowing. Jason resurfaces. The Roscoes have an open view of adultery. Ste is lazy and continuing his long and fraught downward spiral. Cleo wastes food. Who is the father of Celine and Cleo?
Diane cops that she is being poisoned and suspects Tony and Tegan. Harry skips school to chase Ste. Harry hurls himself at Ste who acts like Doug and John-Paul never existed. Harry and Ste are unrepentantly awful. Tegan wants Ziggy. What is Sinead doing for money? Filming the Chester 500 in an abandoned warehouse? Peri and Cleo are friends. Peri has perfect GHDed hair for a new mother. Cleo whines about being the invisible one. Ziggy plans a holiday with Tegan - he has no morals. Leela is injured. Pete yells and nobody hears.
Diane does inane witterings. Harry has an abominable compulsion to shag Ste. Leela’s plotline is infuriatingly insubstantial. Ste has forgotten Sinead. Scott is onto Ste. Scott is as scary as dust. Robbie lurks. Where is Lola? Tegan has a pathological gratitude problem and acts like the moral arbiter of Chester. Ste is stupidly annoying. Diane and Tegan fight in the street. Tony is glad Sinead is gone. Tegan is infuriatingly inarticulate. Kyle annoys. Tegan does disjointed ranting. Diane plants a conspicuous camera. Dr S’avage violates medical confidentiality. Scott is the one poisoning Diane!
Best Lines:
“They always come out.”
“Don’t let Tony in!”
“Why does your dad like gays so much?”
“Welcome to the world of secret affairs.”
“Nasty selfish little cow!”

“Men flock to us.”
“You that selfish?”
“Smells surprisingly edible.”
“People won’t understand.”
“They’re revolting.”
“Your online slurs.”
“How is the little one anyway?”

On ‘Neighbours’: Why is the obnoxious and awful Susan still friends with Lauren? Where are Mason and Bailey? Naomi doesn’t want to marry Paul. Toadfish is ungrateful. Paul wears a pleather jacket. How many times did Karl cheat on Susan? Susan annoys. Lauren continues to suffer no consequences for her whoring. Paul does a psycho stare at Kyle.
Best Lines:
“Door enforcer.”
“I’ve been proven right.”
“This doesn’t surprise me.”

Cleared out a 1996 tape. It began with a ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ ep ‘Apocalypse Rising’ in which people do stuff about Odo’s claim that Gowron (Robert O’Reilly) is a changeling. Odo whines. Worf monotones. O’Brien moans. 4 of the DS9 crew go undercover as Klingons but not Dax for some reason. Dukat wears bling. O’Brien and Odo look like morons. Damar broods. There is bad line delivery. Kira says her pregnancy is Bashir’s fault. How meta. There is a twist and this was dull.
Best Line:
“We all have our failures and he’s mine.”
Then came an ‘X Files’ ep ‘Herrenvolk’ in which ‘Everything Dies’ says the opening credits. Various blank faced guest stars infuriate. Mulder cries and gets beat up. Mr X dies. Nobody cares.
Then came an ‘American Gothic’ ep ‘A Tree Grows In Trinity’ in which a town near Trinity is named Ascension. Subtle. Caleb runs. Gail annoys. Lucas Buck has 90s hair. Matt is hostile. Selena slinks. 90s clothes are worn and Merlyn is awful. This bored.
Best Lines:
“If you’re looking for the mall, it ain’t built yet.”
“Just cos he killed her don’t mean they can’t share the same worms.”
“I got a shovel at home with your name on it.”
Then there was another ‘DS9’ ep ‘The Ship’ in which the main crew and some red shirts are on a desert planet poking at a crashed Jem’Hadar warship. It’s a great intelligence find and then more Jem’Hadar show up. Sisko claims salvage rights and a siege erupts. A Vorta argues with Sisko. He has no inclination to negotiate. There are bad SFX and a moral message. This was okay.
Best Lines:
“Nobody was alive when this ship hit the planet. Yet it survived the impact.”
“No viewscreen. No chairs.”
“Why do they not come?”
“Very pleased.”
