You Are The Most Amazing Robot.
My extremely considered and deep opinion on episode 7.23 of Waterloo Road: NIKKI IS THE BEST ♥ ♥ ♥
ALSO JOSH FINALLY GOT TO KISS SOMEONE, ABOUT TIME. Now he just needs to stop falling for boys who will ruin his life. Nate was nice; what happened to him? I think there's a deep invisible pit in the middle of that school, and I think it feeds on good influences and the well-adjusted. It must go hungry a lot of the time. Trudi is doomed, but I can't see any other potential pit-victims in the current cast.
Tom and Josh's relationship seems to be suspended from extremely frayed threads by this point. I am quite distressed by this. You know, this could probably all have been avoided if you just hugged once in a while.
I did like the cute Josh-and-Tom scene at the beginning of the episode (Tom calls 'Love you' after him as he leaves for school! Awww), but of course Waterloo Road only ever gives us cute scenes between Josh and Tom so it'll hurt more as it spends the next hour methodically pulling their relationship to tatters.
Despite my distress, I really enjoyed that episode! Lots of Josh; some Josh and Tom; Nikki turning up and being the best: thumbs up! Why do I love Waterloo Road so much? It's terrible, and I know it's terrible, but I just can't help myself. I also can't stop myself posting about it, apparently, even though I don't think a single one of you is watching this series. (Here is the episode on iPlayer, in case any of you happen to be in the mood for dreadful-but-compelling melodramatic television about teachers and schoolboys and the drug dealers those schoolboys ill-advisedly fall in love with.)
Josh must be in Year Thirteen now, mustn't he? As must Finn and Lauren (and Sam would be if she were still around, sob). So I suppose they're not long for this programme. I'll miss them when they're gone; they're very much my Waterloo Road year.
I've been rereading the early Animorphs books lately (so depressing - I can't believe I read these when I was nine! - but those books are still amazing). The problem with rereading them as an adult is this: I can't stop wondering how Ax would respond to sex in human form. How do Andalites reproduce? They don't have a sense of taste, and so Ax becomes obsessed with food in his human morph. Probably best not to go down this line of thought.
Also, if Ax had already acquired a shark, why did he put out a psychic cry for help when he was under the ocean? Why didn't he just, you know, morph and swim away? I suppose perhaps the problem was that he didn't know where the nearest land was; if he didn't find solid ground within two hours, he'd have to choose between being trapped as a shark and drowning (I have a sneaking suspicion that Andalites can't swim).

I used to watch Animorphs, but never read it.
I'm really just here to comment on your entry title, which I enjoyed a lot.
I really enjoyed your entry title, Riona. Good job on that.
