had a moment of fridge logic on the bus this...

Omggggg… I was screaming at that scene. Like, “yes, yes, just listen to your cousin, just listen to the woman’s simple yet effective idea.” That is the most believable subplot of the show. Man ignores Woman’s ideas, everything goes wrong.

tiempo de magia!!!

Wasn’t there another Helsinki thing about to happen to the clone club that Rachel ordered? Maybe they were making good on the threat since “Beth” wouldn’t let it go? That wasn’t unti S3 though. I need a rewatch.

There was but I think that wasn’t until s2/s3, possibly when Sarah wouldn’t cooperate? I though tit was Rachel’s like final “fuck you” to the clone club since they wouldn’t play ball, that she’d wipe them out. And I don’t know if Rachel and Evie have the same end goals? Evie was affiliated with Susan and Rachel didn’t even know Susan was alive.

I guess the other unknown factor here is Topside and how much Topside is involved or not involved with Evie and Evie’s branch of Neolution within DYAD. On After the Black they talked about it like Susan is the head of the Neolution movement and Evie is jockeying for her position (successfully, clearly).

As a british person i am familiar with  dorm and halls of residence. Student residence can be used but we would use 'halls' over just residence xx

burntlikethesun answered your question

halls/accommodation/student accommodation is most common :)

pulledacross replied to your post

as a non-native speaker, I would say that for me "dorm" is a more familiar term because of the exposure to American college movies

foobar137 answered your question

American: 'dorm' is the universal term, IME.  'Residence hall' is the formal term that colleges use.  'hall of residence' and 'student residence' are never used.

I love watching you go down all the same rabbit holes I did, lol. I think I kept this in Spanish bc all articles I saw on that time period (bios etc.) had it like that (capital R), but I probably changed it 3 or 4 (or 5) times. :-)

God how did you translate this so quickly, this episode is a nightmare. All the poetic turns of phrase, plus actual poetry, plus stuff like this!

It’s tough, because if it were just modern characters talking about this historic site, even if they were English-speakers it’d make sense for them to call it the Residencia de Estudiantes - with the Residencia for short - as even the English wikipedia does. But when students from the period mention their “residencia” they’re just saying their “dorm”, and the Time Agents who are pretending to be students will do the same. It would be easy if it could just be translated directly as “student residence” and “residence”, but it seems that’s not how you say it in English, lol.

Yep! Gotta a bunch of things to finish before tomorrow.

7 Book you laughed the hardest reading?

The hardest a book has ever made me laugh was the U-No-Poo bit in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I stopped reading and just laughed for minutes on end! Also the The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy killed me over and over, particularly the conversation with Mr Prosser from the beginning, then the conversation with Ford at the pub, then the Vogon poetry and the sperm whale. Also, Catch 22 made me cry with laughter. It’s possible it was a case of crying AND laughing, but it was hard to distinguish.

8 Which book characters do you relate most to?

Kizzy, the Romani protagonist of The Diddakoi. The racist tauntings she suffered hit close to home. Jo March of Little Women for her love of books and writing, temper and tomboy-ishness, I admired her brave decisions and how she stuck up for herself. Hermione Granger for similar reasons.

11 Favourite quote from a book?

Here’s one at random. From the ending of Cloud Atlas:

I hear my father-in-law's response: " [...] Naïve, dreaming Adam. He who would do battle with the many-headed hydra of human nature must pay a world of pain & his family must pay it along with him! & only as you gasp your dying breath shall you understand, your life amounted to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean!" Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?

Idk how Georgia deals. I hope she lives in an internet-free happy bubble.

god right, i feel bad for both her and laurence fox although she seems to get the brunt of it (surprise)
