Okay so I was going to watch this after I watched the last episodes I posted about here but for some reason when I turned it on I couldn’t… understand a single word anyone was saying. It wasn’t an issue with the computer, I had the same processing issue yesterday with Tommy and Tuppence! What the heck, right? I dunno what’s going on with my auditory processing but I do not care for it at all.
So! I gave The Changeling another shot today and I really liked it. Properly creepy (plus added ‘humans are technically responsible for billions of deaths in space’ meta) and the added fun of Kirk logicking a computer to death. I’ve done that, I think. Or was that ‘downloaded a trojan’? One of those!
It did throw me for a loop – when Uhura started speaking Swahili (her birth language, right?) I thought they were going to go ‘ah! Her memories are returning!’ but… they just told her to keep reading in English? So that wasn’t what I was expecting at all from that scene. Or uh, any idea what happened to her memories.
It ending on a joke after the horrific ending of Charlie X (still think that was a good end) was a mood whiplash/delight. Delightlash?
