Re: “reverse bay parking” at supermarkets. I NEVER REVERSE IN. Why would I want my boot in the most awkward position? Drive in forwards, easily transfer your bags from trolley to boot and forever mock everyone who reverses in and struggles with their heavy bags of shopping squeezing through parked cars. Now you have no excuse not to go to Lidl.
This is a great point but consider this: what if I only said reverse bay because I was too embarrassed to admit that I still find pulling in nose first quite stressful?
Benedict Wong’s character is by far the best in the TV series, and also in the book. The pouty lady character isn’t in the books - and nor is the discovery of fiction as I recall. Some years since I read the books so can’t recall why the adaptation decided to insert the fiction part: it doesn’t occur in the book(s). The TV series making real what is otherwise just a scene in your head not long after that though is quite a CGI triumph though.
According to the wiki, Salazar is based on a book character called Wang Miao - who I can't imagine does much pouting. That's very interesting about the fiction motivation being an invention for the series. It does have a tiny hint of showrunners congratulating themselves on their uniquely human powers, but maybe I'm being mean. You're absolutely right about the visuals being phenomenal, though.
The closing down of Andrew Kelly’s Bristol Ideas is a huge loss. The city is poorer for it.

I love you.
