chip chilla review (god help me)
copied from twitter with a bit of added stuff and formatted a bit better i hope: taking one for the team by watching through the entirety of chip chilla and by god this show is so far, and i hate to say it, Fine
im saying this now but then im gonna load up the next episode and they're going to just straight up call for the death of a minority group or something. but in all seriousness it had a few moments that made me chuckle and it's not written so unnaturally like a lot of ripoffs are. it's SO MUCH more boring and sterile compared to bluey and the artstyle is obv copying it especially in the backgrounds. but it's not completely devoid of substance...
which isn't too unexpected. they DID get some crew members with actual veteran experience in the industry. one of the exec producers of the show (and is doing more at the dw) was the showrunner for that tangled series on disney channel that people really seemed to like. which is wild to see next to ben shapiro in the credits
the way they ripped off the little "games" that bluey does are pretty hit or miss, like a frankenstein play seemed like ??? weird choice but then the next episode is like oh parents and children switch roles and like ok yea that makes more sense to just think of off the bat. morals are whatever. i don't know. it's not like ben shapiro came in on a greenscreen like "remember kids donate to the gop or you'll go to hell" they're just normal kid show morals, and like the games they're pretty hit or miss but nothing like egregiously bad
i like the intro. obvious rip off bluey music but the visual design is nice. why is it sO CUTE SCREW YOU SCREW YOU SCREW YOU
i also should point out the dad is voiced by rob schneider. do with that information what you will.
still want to point out however that this show is still awful on principle, if you have any sort of support for any sort of minority group please do not support this show in any way it's really not worth your time in the slightest! im extra mad bc their daily wire kids platform has paid for distrib rights for some actually good international shows like tish tash and billy the cowboy hamster and augh im going to kill someone

So I’m not sure how I’m going to go about it, like with comics or fics, or whatever but the basic premise is this:
Tripitaka has gone missing from the Mountain of the Buddhas and Sun Wukong and the crew have to find him. The last known location was in the Connecticut area, so they head there (followed by an angel, who act as, guides for beings that go to other pantheon territory). They end up causing an issue for the Power of Darkness who was in the meeting with a group of demons. After clearing that up, they join forces to try to find Tripitaka.
Tripitaka himself, is looking for a way to get into the Akashic records because he wants to help Ilyth'La, a creation of Nyarlhotep and Cthulhu, go against her creators and keep them from being resurrected, permanently sealing them.
Multiple different Gods, Goddesses, Angels and Demons show up to either help or hinder the group on their journey.
Honestly, it started out as a simple concept then kinda went out of control and I’m STILL adding mythologies in (figuring how to add in Tezscatlipoca as of today). I want to be fair about adding in mythologies that aren’t touched much in media because they are just as cool as the more talked about ones.
Like I have ideas for shitposts and gag comics (Bluey has given me SO many ideas) so I will be doing those kinds of things when I can/have the energy.
There’s also a separate storyline I have for the Six Eared Macaque, who was revived and “gifted“ to Asena the Wolf (of Turkic lore) by Erlik Khan as an apology for the death of her eldest child. I’m not sure what to call this arc because it’s not TECHNICALLY redemption, more like “Six actually having good influences in his life“ because whoever his influences were in his life before... oh boy. What a mess. I’m also using it as an excuse to essentially develop a character for him that is not centered around him pretending to be Sun Wukong. (I go as far as having Asena give him a new name, so would he be more of an OC at that point? I don’t know)
I’ll post more about it in a bit, I’m getting excited and that jumbles my thoughts.
Also hey, if you know any other mythologies I should add in please: give me the knowledge or good references so I can be thorough.

The Tenth Planet - Episode Two
Written by – Kit Pedler
Director – Derek Martinus
Producer – Innes Lloyd
Episode Two
(“We are going to take you all back to Mondas with us.” The Cybermen to the humans about what will happen to humankind.)
Likes
- Ben using his brain to get him out of trouble.
- Polly actually talking back to the General when she thought he was enjoying himself a bit too much. She totally told him that to his face. Yes. Polly being a total advocate for human life of all kinds and for emotions is also cool.
- The way the Cybermen speak. They open their mouths and the words come out all robotic like. It sounds and looks good.
- General Cutler taking control back for a small amount of time to get things set to protect Earth as best he can. Even though his son is in danger of imminent death.
Dislikes
- Who is that guy who runs Geneva talking to half the time? Seriously, I think he just likes talking, lol.
- How come no one listens to the Doctor when he speaks? He is full of wisdom when it comes to things like this.
- The rocket blows up. Goodbye my two favourites, I shall miss you both.
- ...I’m not too fond of Dyson as a character. I have no idea why. I am enjoying the others.
Awesome
- The Cybermen. Yeah, I really enjoy these first, Mondasian Cybermen.
- The phone prop. Look at that thing. It’s like a cross between a phone and a bad dragon dildo Hahaha!
- I like the old projector and its use.
Shitty
- The Doctor and others talking over the Cybermen in some parts. Stop doing that, I can’t understand anything when others are talking over each other. It’s just a jumble of noise to me.
- The Projection room is practically a useless prop room. It serves no other purpose other than to keep Ben in for the story. I get why it would be important for the base, but here it isn’t used that way.
- This one is probably me hearing things wrong but...in the last episode, I swear Aussie guy was called Louie, and in this one, it sounds like Bluey. Which one is it? Last names are used in the credits and I never got his last name.
In Conclusion
I didn’t like this episode as much as the first. Some parts were hard for me to understand properly because of people talking over each other. No one is listening to the Doctor even though he has proven himself to know somewhat the things that will happen.
Also, my two rocket crew members died :( They got blown up by a planet. Boo.
I like Ben being useful and Polly telling people things like it is. Never stop, Polly. I don’t much get who Geneva guy is talking to most of the time, but he at least makes sense to exist, which is good. He now has to worry over the first intergalactic war between two planets. Good luck there.
This episode is okay, but definitely not as good as the last one. Still, it had quite a lot of awesome scenes with the Cybermen in them, and I really like the Mondasian Cybermen. I may have already said that though :P
Body count – 5. 3 Cybermen killed by their own weapon which Ben got a hold of by being smart. And Glenn and B/Louey. And look at that, two episodes in and a kill to Ben already. He got his first kill only three episodes ago. He is getting a kill count started real early.

FarscapeWatch 03: 1.03 ‘Exodus From Genesis’
Well, here we are folks. I watched the first few episodes a bit out of order after noticing a little late that the order I was watching in wasn't the intended broadcast order, and trying to correct that midway through with limited success. This was actually the second full episode I watched, so my reaction to it was a little coloured by it seeming to come as a direct follow-up to the premiere, yet acting as if they'd been in space bonding for weeks already. It was a little confusing! Having now seen 1.02 I, E.T. in full, I think I can better appreciate this one. Ish. Let's jump in.
~~
We open on Rygel...painting. Quite badly. And eating. Jump to D'Argo and John...D'Argo encouraging John to eat a bug to clean his teeth. Lovely.
Aeryn is in command of the ship. A cloud of debris is blocking their path. Everyone is still very colour-coded and very four humours. Aeryn's black and John's tan/off-white and Zhaan's blue to D'Argo's red are for sure deliberate.
Okay so they're goind to hide behind the debris to avoid a scan from another ship. Clever. Aeryn's idea. Pilot is grateful. Now there's a friendship I didn't expect, but hey, I guess she's used to practicality and tools and Pilot is effectively just an interface with a face.
The 'debris' turns out to be space bugs. Damn. Hope this isn't a gross episode. This has to earn its adults-only rating somewhere.
Post-credits, open on Aeryn and John. We learn a bit of Aeryn's history while she explains a little about Peacekeeper tactics. John makes a pretty weak joke but... despite myself, I do find him kinda charming. There's a twinkle there. I'm starting to think John could end up as adorkable due to being a fish out of water here, despite his position as a skilled scientist and Dude on Earth. I hope they go that way anyway, it would be interesting.
Oh. I love this. John starts to give a typical 90s afterschool special speech about them having to stick together and Aeryn interrupts sarcastically, amused at the very concept of them becoming friends, or worse, FAMILY. I miss me a character like that on tv, I'm almost getting Cordelia vibes, although the characters in other ways couldn't be more different.
Cut to Zhaan for the first time. She's with Rygel, helping clean up things that spilled when they first hit the debris field. She's such an interesting character, especially as the blue, and all of what blue normally signifies. Calmness is one, but coldness is another, and that's something we only see flashes of. So often, Zhaan is apart from the group, even while being a little like the group's mother or spiritual leader. She makes a good show of that being because of her status, or because, perhaps, of her age, but at times there are flashes that she simply thinks herself better than the others. And here's another; she mocks Rygel's painting with a smile on her face, projecting gentleness to hide the thorn, then proceeds to paint over it using her creepy super speed. It's a slightly random scene, used to give a bit more depth into Rygel mainly, and makes me wonder if what the writers are doing with Zhaan is deliberate or not. She's definitely the most interesting character for me thus far.
[So all through these scenes there are intermittent cuts to something watching the crew from the shadows; presumably it's the bugs, unless they've Alien-style mutated into some new second-level form]
Cut back to Aeryn and John. She's warm, and D'Argo reports that the ship's temperature is abnormally high. Aeryn is shot in the leg by something...one of the bugs, but it must be a light wound as she doesn't really react, nor does John notice as she was behind a table at the time. It shoots her again in the hand and this time she notices, but dismisses it as a splinter of metal. What will it be, poison? Aeryn out of action this episode?
They split off to search the ship to see why it's overheating as they don't know from diagnostics. Zhaan with John. He complains a bit to her about the others not respecting him; she is not quick to correct his view of her as separate from them! Very sly. She advises him he must win their respect. Unfortunately, although I'm a little charmed by this scene, it does also play as being aimed at quite a young audience. Just a 90s thing maybe?
So despite Zhaan's idea that no-one should search alone, she and John almost immediately split up after their heart to heart. Genius.
Cut to John. There's a bug in his quarters and holy shit these are big buggers! D'Argo and Aeryn over the intercom are no help and unsympathetic, telling him he must capture it. This will no doubt be a John-proves-his-worth episode then.
These bugs are nasty. John manages to catch it in his blanket and then beats it to death while inside. Not exactly capturing! Nice work, science guy...
Next scene; Zhaan is dissecting it. Another to add to her laundry list of skills. All she needs now is to be able to fly and she's got the whole set.
Okay so there's a whole load of these things on the ship. For the second episode in a row we have a plot that relies on Rygel being small enough to investigate/go through small holes. Hmm. While I'm not averse to that necessarily from a worldbuilding standpoint, it does seem a bit of an easy out to let the character still be a pain in the ass... although, on that point, I guess this is a twist on the special-skilled cleric/mage character being only too happy to help. I wonder which came first, the character design of making a small character to test the puppetry and make the world more alien, or, once that character was established, hastily building plots around small doors and passageways to give him something to do?
So we're 20 minutes in and it seems we've established the basic plot; the ship is going to overheat because the bugs for whatever reason are affecting the ventilation, so we need them removed. Somehow. Although they're heavily outnumbered.
Ah, so Aeryn can't take the heat. (So stay out of the kitchen?) That's an interesting weakness to have but I guess it's not hard to film and will open up interesting plot restrictions later down the line. Of course, they need a weak point to take Aeryn out of commission as it's between her and Zhaan for who's the most competent character aboard this ship.
Skip back to John and D'Argo for a bit of exposition. D'Argo is still fantastically racist, he hates all of Aeryn's kind - but he's going to make an exception for her. John is a little too shocked by this I feel, but then, I guess this was made in an optimistic,, pre 9/11 world.
Aeryn and Pilot is an interesting pairing. Also bloody hell Pilot is huge. (Pairing in terms of onscreen together, pretty sure Pilot is asexual)
Cut to Rygel exploring and wow, I hope they gave James Cameron a bit of credit for this episode, he's literally come across Ripley's Alien Queen egg chamber. Let me guess, they're raising the temperature to incubate, a la Aliens.
Well fuck me a bug stabbed Zhaan. Good storywriting though, take out the most competent characters one by one. That was a nasty stab but old bluey will probably be fine, god knows what she's made of. Cut to Aeryn who is also passed out, and now we're back to John, everyone seems to've gone radio silence... and well shit, there is now another John. That's a turn I did not foresee this episode taking. (I guess we have to vary it up away from *Aliens* pretty rapidly now after those last few scenes just to avoid infringing anything or stepping on anyone's toes.) Now, will this be a bug thing or will it be due to something else, just their luck?
New John also has the same clothes. Mirror thing? Oh they're fighting, typical. Seems incapable of speech? Quite well shot esp for the 90s, doing twin scenes is never easy as anyone who's been watching Orphan Black (RIP! :( ) can attest to.
Okay so the clone people are bugs. Somehow. Rygel is trapped by a horde of them watching them spawn. Zhaan is somewhere. D'Argo, Aeryn and John are in command...and now I feel like the Big Brother voiceover person so I'm going to stop this. The crew are a bit hopeless, the heat is still going up making it hard to think and neither D'Argo or John are particularly the brains of the operation here.
Thank god, Zhaan comes in. She still has that stabby spike in her neck/chest but she is up and walking about doing her thing, what a trooper. She goes to have one of the others help her remove it and ohshit, now she's possessed. So I guess the bugs are somehow psychic now as well as being transformers and mad scientist cloners and a big cloud of space dust. Why not eh?
Because everything was going so well already.
Interesting. Removing Zhaan is a clever way to give John a level-up as Aeryn is out of action and D'Argo is reckless; John here has to use logic to stop him from slicing Zhaan in two while she is possessed because he forgets she isnt a clone. Smart writing as a way to empower the seemingly lowest-level member of the team. Crichton is Farscape's Squirrel Girl.
(Plot wise, essentially the bugs accuse our heroes of starting fighting with them instead of vice versa. That's some Trumpian logic.)
So yeah the hive has landed in the ship to reproduce because obviously space is cold, okay. This seems like a slightly 101 plot that, again, could have been lifted right out of Alien(s).
So, with Aeryn out and Zhaan out, John takes halfway command - mental, leaving D'Argo as the enforcer. It's interesting that the show seems to be in some ways agreeing with my early assessment of the characters' competencies and usefulness order. Especially because, if John is meant to be the actual central character, that requires devolving competency and narrative centrality to two 'alien', Other self-styled side characters. I guess in some ways that's usual with traveller adrift stories, though.
This is an aside, but an interesting parallel I'm feeling with this character structural setup is to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Zhaan being, of course, Rei, Aeryn Asuka, and Crichton himself a more self-assured, but equally, more fish out of water Shinji. I guess that leaves D'Argo as Makanami and Rygel as Misato's penguin?
Back to plot. The bugs want to keep raising the heat. John points out that if they do that, Moya will die and then the heat will go completely off, killing all the spawning bugs - the hive head's children. We cut to truce, and interestingly, John has taken pure command now, D'Argo is fussing over Zhaan and Aeryn is by all accounts, out for the count, and has managed to change into what looks like an anachronistic little black dress... guess if you're going to suffocate and burn to death, might as well do it in style. Rygel is still awol.
Zhaan is back in business. The four humanoids are isolated off in a small room that, perhaps, will be not so hot? Who knows.
Okay so now the ship has been invaded by randoms. Because this plot wasn't already bloated enough. They're Peacekeepers, and are attacked by replicants. Handy.
Pilot alerts our heroes that the ship has been invaded; the alien bug leader of course takes these new invaders as proof that the crew have broken the truce and cranks up the heat again.
We cut to the Peacekeepers roaming the ship, killing every clone they come across, and I can't help thinking how much fun I'm sure the actors had getting to die and act surprised and fall over in these scenes. Something else to take away; Zhaan's maxi dress robe reveals itself here to actually be more akin to capri pants. In 1998! Add fashion forward to her laundry list of skills and attributes.
The Peacekeepers are pleasingly gender mixed.
Aeryn wants John to promise to kill her, as a friend, to save her from a painful death with her brain melting. I can't help but think D'Argo would do it.
Cut to more action scenes. Then cut to Rygel. The crew have decided to send him in - or he's decided it himself, it's fuzzy - to negotiate with the bug leader in person. He is actually quite respectful if pompous and gives it gravitas. I can't quite help though but feel this plot twist is just a little of an attempt to give every one of the main characters a key role to play and something to do, here while they're still establishing.
Honestly so far, I feel like this episode is dragging. There's a bit too much going on and most of the cast are just playing to their core characteristics, while being split up, while a whole bunch of side characters come in. That's just me though.
Okay so Rygel strikes a deal. Now the crew strike another deal with the alien leader; now the Peacekeepers are attacking the bugs, our heroes will drive them off if...the bugs will forgive them? idk, because John also lets them crank the heat up more even though that's torture to Aeryn. I'm not quite following this plot beyond the bare bones.
So another aside, Bechdel test. Zhaan offers now to stay with Aeryn while the boys go and greet the Peacekeepers. I'm unsure, three episodes in, if Zhaan and Aeryn have yet directly interacted. Now, I'm not surprised because they're two women - it's not like vaginas necessarily commune, and tbh, who even knows what any of these folk have under their suits - but I am surprised that the two most competent characters as I've seen them haven't really yet compared notes. I guess in many ways they are foils, but on the flipside, that would be in itself a reason for them to have interacted. Anyway, this comes up because Aeryn, instead of being left with Zhaan, needs to be reassured by John before he leaves.
Now, tbh, I'm torn how I feel about John's defensiveness of, and implicit connection with Aeryn, this feels a little...soon... and also just a touch away from looking after her in the hopes she'll fall into his arms. I'm a little unnerved too, that she asks of him amercy, and he refuses to even consider the thought of acquiescing to her request. It's for honorable reason; because he believes she won't die or come close to death, but still... overriding a woman's dying wish because you think you know better is not so cool.
Action scenes follow. The PKs are being themselves adversely affected by the heat. This is intercut with scenes of Aeryn going mad.
Okay so they trick the PKs with a bluff; using multiple Crichton clones, they give the PKs the impression that he regenerates and is invincible; as the clones cannot talk, he also takes a chance in staring down the PK leader, armed, while unarmed, to give a speech about his invulnerability. The actor here shows shades of having a steel underneath the bluster that's thus far characterized John Crichton. (ohgod I have just realized the initials and I am hoping this will not turn at some point biblical)
A short fight scene but Crichton ultimately uses words to triumph. It's okay but very self-congratulatory to be honest. I don't dislike John Crichton, but this really was a second focal episode in a row that felt just a little contrived.
Time skip for a coda, everything is okay. D'Argo now respects John more. Good because THAT conflict was old two episodes ago.
Bug leader briefly possesses Zhaan again to say goodbye and thanks for all the fish. JC walks her back to her rooms and they have a heart to heart, and I've realized what it is I'm disliking, the focus on John in these episodes is unnatural. We only see a scene, generally, if John's in it. Nobody else is bonding that much except here and there as a nod to establish interactions. I'm hoping that changes.
Still. This show was a contemporary of Xena, which was hardly outstanding in that field.
End up for this episode. Aeryn and JC in a new location, 'the terrace' according to Pilot. Aeryn is back in her black leathers, thank god. Oh, they are leaning IN to this ship. Aeryn takes a step towards a truce with John with a joke about lesser lifeforms, double meaning; humans and bugs. And we close with them watching the...sunset? Thank god that's over.
So, ultimately I think this might tie with episode 1 for my least favourite so far. This episode felt overstuffed and my favourite characters pushed to the sidelines. Still, there was some character work done. Let's get into the beats.
CHARACTER BEATS
JOHN
This episode is VERY John-heavy. His baptism of fire, getting Zhaan on-side and then moving to impress D’Argo and Aeryn…I guess everyone forgets about Rygel again. John shows a lot of skills in this episode, but it gets to the point where you almost wonder why we need the others, if John’s there to be the voice of reason, the warrior, the scientist, the logic, the negotiator, the moral centre, and the big damn hero. And all those in an episode where we’re supposed to believe he’s doubting himself and his skills! Okay then…
ZHAAN
Zhaan, even though out of action for a lot of this episode, still is at a lot of her best. With every episode I find myself wondering what exactly she CAN’T do… but somehow, she’s not a Mary Sue either. I’m still unsure what age she is, especially as I already am sensing the seeds of the writing trying to move her into something of a mother figure role. I’m not sure if she needs to be older to contrast with Aeryn; two women can be a similar type or age in the same show without the universe imploding, even in 1999. This episode sees Zhaan the medic, Zhaan the telepath, and Zhaan the peacekeeper with a small p. I’m still sensing that Zhaan could have elements of danger within her though; no-one is that self-assured without knowing they have the ability to back it up.
D’ARGO
Third time in a row this isn’t a great episode for D’Argo, and right now I can’t see him being anyone in the audience’s favourite character. I’m suspecting more character beats will come through at some point though, frankly, because D’Argo design-wise isn’t good looking enough to be able to keep going just as eye candy and a walking anger issue, as some ‘big guy’ characters are in other shows.
RYGEL
Well…Rygel gets things to do in this episode, but generally is humiliated. I don’t know, I really didn’t like this episode so much. Rygel pulls diplomacy out of the hat, inspired by an ancestor, I guess…but I feel it loses its weight because I’m still not quite sure how old Rygel is. Also, although it was painted as a triumph that Rygel negotiated…I’m still not sure what it was he negotiated. At least he seems not to hate the others so much, but at the same time, he still feels a little apart from the group, which is already a little fragmentary.
AERYN
Aeryn is also not that well served by this episode. We see a few excuses to get her out of her clothes and generally helpless, and the narrative implies that this might be coincidence, but it might also be penance for her previous self-assuredness. Her desire to be mercy killed as well is also laughed off and unacknowledged; yes, it privileges John the human’s ways of doing things over the brutal Peacekeepers, but it also walks over Aeryn’s choices and desires just on a whim. Nice. This episode also leans hard into what it poses as a mutual closeness between John and Aeryn that I’m just not sure is at this point earned, it does edge almost into Tarzan and Jane territory. Eek.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 1.03
They’re still on the run. They’re bonding. There is shipping. That’s kinda where we are now.
WHAT THIS EPISODE ADVANCED:
Honestly, not a lot. We learn a weakness for both Aeryn and Zhaan, that plots need to be heavily contrived to feature Rygel prominently, and that John Crichton has hidden depths when needed, some steel there. Forgive the shade, fans, but this one just didn’t do it for me.
CHARACTER RANKING AS OF 1.03:
1) Zhaan
2) John
3) Aeryn
4) Pilot
5) Rygel
6) D’Argo
And that’s it for this episode of FarscapeWatch! Check back in my Farscape 2017 section on my blog (also linked on the homepage) for my next episode reviews, as they come! Or feel free to give me a follow to catch all of my stuff ;)
Also, if you’re enjoying these, feel free to shoot me a message or comment :3 Sorry we’ve been a late at getting them out, pesky real life getting in the way! Also, would you guys like me to put a cut in instead of running these as one huge post? Let me know!

The Rogues Rant #223
Welcome to The Rogues Rant, an occasional look at all things Rugby
Well the Wallabies came back down to earth with a thud last week. The All Blacks found their Mojo in no uncertain terms to bring some reality back into the picture. Despite no longer being the Number One ranked side in the world I reckon that any team who thinks they can take “Bill” home from Japan can rest assured that they will have to beat the All Blacks to do it.
It’s Finals football time all across the state. Some Grand Finals have already been decided, one last week in Cootamundra which had an Illawarra connection. The Cootamundra Tricolors won the Central West South premiership GF with a 55 – 12 win over Harden completing an undefeated season. Former Vikings premiership winning player Mitchell Wakeford, who is now stationed in Cootamundra with NSW Police, was a part of the winning Cootamundra crew. Unfortunately Mitchell missed the the latter part of the year due to a foot ligament injury but as a part of the clubs coaching staff was on hand for the big match. Also part of the clubs administration is former Illawarra Referee Peter Charker.
The make up for the finals series is coming down to this week’s final round. Not only are the final positions still to be decided in first grade, but all the grades are going down to the wire. Most games this weekend will have some bearing on the final standings right across the grades. As well as who finishes where the last round will also decide where the Club Championship Trophy will be going this year. A nail biting weekend is assured.
Well we will be finishing 2019 with the same five sides at the top of Premiership table as last year. In fact the same five clubs have featured in the top five positions on the ladder for four consecutive seasons. Avondale and Bowral are set for the Major Semi at Bowral on Saturday week but the results of three of this week’s matches will determine just who will line up in the Minor Semi at Woonona on Sunday week. In the only match with no significance on the Finals, The Quinnies host Camden at Campbelltown. Campbelltown had their first win of the year at Camden two weeks ago and will be keen to finish on a high against their fiercest opponents. Both sides were beaten convincingly last week and will be keen to finish the year on a high. In a close one I’m going to go for a Quinnies victory. Campbelltown to Win. Avondale have Tech Waratahs at Gerry Cappetta Oval and should have no trouble tying up the Minor Premiership with a big win. Avondale to Win. University who travel to Kiama will be looking for the win and a bonus point to try and break clear of Vikings in the race for fourth spot. They should get the win but can’t be guaranteed a bonus point against the much improved Kiama outfit. University to Win. The red hot Shamrocks side should get the points from Shoalhaven on their home ground at Ocean Park. A loss could be catastrophic for the Rocks who sit third just two points clear from Vikings and University. I can’t see the Rocks letting this one slip. Shamrocks to Win. Match of the Round is at Eridge Park between Bowral and Vikings. The Blueys need a bonus point win for them to be any real chance of getting a semi-final spot. The Blacks form of late has been a bit shaky and they will be looking for a strong showing in this one going into the Major Semi clash with Avondale. I think Vikings can win this match but I’m not so sure about them getting a bonus point as well. Vikings to Win.

Last week I finished up on Bluey. I joined the crew for season 3 as one of the 2D FX Animators. The folks working on the show are not only ridiculously talented, but also just some of the loveliest people. I have so much respect for this beautiful show. It was a dream to be a part of. And I already miss the VFX team.
The drawing is a reference to Mini Bluey! - one of my favourite eps this season. Growing up as an identical twin, comparison was constant among friends and family, and it meant there was a real focus on standing out. This ep really goes out of the way to embrace Bluey and Bingo’s differences, good and annoying 💙🧡
