Thanks - it’s a start! But unfortunately our government seems to think more ties with Palantir is the way to go…

Well, that was a hell of a way to say hi @wilwheaton.net! I just sort of erupted into despair when I should probably have started by saying I just finished listening to Still Just a Geek and it was great. Damn the impending Apocalypse getting in the way of the important stuff.

Speaking for the UK, I think our leaders are terrified & I can’t blame them. We Brexited ourselves, everybody hates us, our economy is too dependant on the US, our computer systems are dependent on the US, and a psychopath has nuclear weapons at his disposal. I hate it.

Plus anything more with the EMH and Lura, I haven’t seen nearly enough of them.

Haha they probably are! I missed the 2017 version. I have a bone to pick with Elaine Paige for not talking about it more on her show, that’s usually where I get all my theatre news.

I just can’t believe I hadn’t heard about how different the new version is. Did I miss a load of STARLIGHT EXPRESS GOES WOKE pearl-clutching?

I always wondered how much the original was influenced by the memory of the miners strikes.

Well that’s a whole fascinating world I knew nothing about before today, thank you! The hydrogen thing does sound iffy but it’s pretty good by Lloyd Webber standards 😂 At least we moved on from “dig a hole, and Baum out the coal.”

So the new Starkight Express is pro-women and the LGBTQIA+ community, and against fossil fuels… OMG IS THE STARLIGHT EXPRESS ZACK POLANSKI? 🙀

I’ve made it to the end of the soundtrack… so the hydrogen thing was a way of keeping Rusty as the hero while being environmentally friendly?

That makes sense.

Haven’t made it to UNCOUPLED yet but I’m looking forward to it now. I have been enjoying the English accents so far. I never understood why they had to be American (apart from Dinah.) Kudos for your commitment in writing UNCOUPLED properly, I am being lazy.

I can see why this would have been annoying for people who know about it!

They finally did away with A Lotta Locomotion, and I can see why but I liked its retro-ness.

I know nothing about hydrogen fuel cells, but they probably make as much sense as anything else 😂

And changing “dumb” to “dozy” in the freight song 👍 I don’t know who Andrew Lloyd Webber got to make these changes but he must have stepped outside his normal circle quite a long way 😂 Will try to restrain my enthusiasm now!

I’m listening to the soundtrack and am losing my mind over the new version of “whistle at me”😂

😂😂😂 that’s brilliant.

I just heard “pumping iron” on the radio and didn’t realise about the rest of the changes. Did they still have the smoking car? 😂

Oh wow. I don’t think I’m going to get to see it but I will be downloading the soundtrack! If I’d know all that was happening I’d have put more effort into going! I am so happy your nieces get to see women being something other than coaches who literally can’t move without men giving them a ride.

I HAVE HUST FOUND OUT THAT IN THE NEW 2024 VERSION OF STARLIGHT EXPRESS, GREASBALL IS FEMALE!

This is the wrong place to be shouting about it but I’m unreasonably excited.

I was so excited when we finally got a boring Prime Minister. Those were the days…

Yeah BUT did any of them become millionaires?

/s

I got one of those once. It takes 2 seconds to check someone’s profile to see where they’re from, it’s usually obvious. It’s still not as funny as when I got tea-splained though. (They did apologise when they realised I was British, I was not offended 😂)

Also I love how the doctor (at first) is taking on the role of another character who didn’t have a name.

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

I’ve done a crash course in Our Town, rewatched this week’s #SFA, and have many thoughts. But it’s the middle of the night here, so I’ll just say… Ake explicitly takes over the role of Stage Manager from the Doctor. Interesting.

Your sacrifice is noted and appreciated.

Jankom could make a start but at this point WE NEED MURF.

We also desperately need Gwyn to find diplomatic solutions to, well, everything.

Out of THREE SERIES. Amazing.
