Featured Book: Salt (Thalassic Series Book 1) by Liz Shipton

What do you do with a drunken sailor when the world is underwater?In a brutal dystopian water world, where survival depends on skill and smarts, Bird Howsley is a beautiful disaster. A drunken sailor, a sharp-tongued back-talker, and a magnet for chaos, Bird is one bad decision away from watching her life go completely under water. Her only lifeline? Level-headed sailing teacher, Sargo Paz. Sargo…

Salt and Fury: A New Adult Dystopian Romance by Liz Shipton My rating: 5 of 5 stars Bird, the main female character is a sloppy sailer with a drinking problem. But she's super lovable. The main male character Sargo is the most patient human on the entire planet and just so happens to be Bird's sailing instructor. Bird gets herself expelled from school after Sargo finds out she was drunk during class. After some spectacularly bad decisions, Bird ends up making some bad black market deals and has to flee the city she lives in with Sargo on his sailboat. Her brother, who was thought to be dead, reached out to her for a job and they sail in the direction of Alluvium when he is located. They encounter pirates and and all sorts of crazy stuff along the way. This is kind of a slow burn on Bird's side as far as romance goes. You get the idea that Sargo is into Byrd but it is not expressly mentioned. There are some spicy scenes in the book, but they are carried out through Birds dreams and do not actually happen. There is one spicy scene where Byrd encounters Sargo "relieving some tension" by himself and she takes a little gander and does some "finger painting" while she watches. The two main characters don't actually talk about their feelings the entire book, or "make contact", but I'm hoping that will happen in the next book of the series. There's so much to unpack here! I absolutely loved this book. Imagine a world of seafarers who have lived through war and pandemics by going out and living on boats for long stretches of time. It's very much reminiscent of the movie Water World and the Hunger Games Series, all while being something else entirely unique on it's own. I thought the dichotomy of what technology they have left versus things that people have had to revert back to was fascinating. The world building was just awesome. The jabs at the billionaire who created satellite internet made me laugh. I'll definitely be checking out the next book in the series. View all my reviews

DOCTOR WHO EPISODES WHICH FAIL THE REVERSE-BECHDEL TEST

A.K.A: Post-revival episodes which lack a 3+ line conversation specifically between 2 named men about something other than a woman, including small groups containing such. This is based on @doctorwhobechdeltest’s criteria for the normal test. Feel free to send me an ask if you have an amendment or addition to make, as I may easily have missed something or been too generous/strict with an episode while working on this.

Image descriptions and analysis below:

The definition of men and women in this case includes ‘coded characters’, referring to entities that may not necessarily actually have a gender (eg. Sontarans, Weeping Angels) but will be largely seen as such by the viewer. Interfaces and robots are not included.

Below are image descriptions of each GIF above, with notes on some of the conversations I disqualified based on the criteria for the test. I’ve tried my best to lay out my reasoning in the more debatable cases.

Series 1, Episode 1 - Rose by Russell T Davies

[Image: Rose and Jackie discuss Rose’s lost job.]

Exclusions:

Auton!Mickey and the Doctor talk at the restaurant. Their dialogue, however, makes references to Rose.

The Doctor parlays with the Nestene Consciousness. While the Nestene’s line of dialogue (most of the conversation being non-verbal) is voiced by Nicholas Briggs, it is only referred to as ‘it’. In the expanded universe, it’s generally treated as a genderless eldritch abomination and is, in fact at one point referred to as the ‘Mother Consciousness’. For these reasons, it has been excluded from being a ‘male-coded character’.

Series 1, Episode 2 - The End of the World by Russell T Davies

[Image: Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17 and Rose speak about being ‘the last human’.]

Exclusions:

The Doctor goes to greet the Moxx of Balhoon. The Moxx seems to be speaking to both the Doctor and Rose (esp. as he then spits on her face as his greeting gift).

The Steward is unnamed. Another member of his species in a similar position (Raffalo) is named, showing he isn’t unnamed for a plot/character reason.

Series 2, Episode 11 - Fear Her by Matthew Graham

[Image: Chloe and Trish Webber singing Kookaburra together to fend off Chloe’s fear of her abusive father, brought to life by the Isolus within her.]

Exclusions:

The people in the neighbourhood get in to an argument, ignoring the Doctor’s attempts to speak with them. Only one of the men (Kel) is named.

Series 3, Episode 10 - Blink by Steven Moffat

[Image: Sally Sparrow and Kathy Nightingale discuss splitting up.]

Exclusions:

The Doctor greets Billy Shipton after he is sent back in time by a Weeping Angel. Billy asks where he is and the Doctor answers. This was excluded as Billy, in a daze, seems to be speaking to both Martha and the Doctor (actually looking at Martha as he asks the question). The greater conversation, which includes Martha, is about the Angels themselves, who are female-coded entities.

Series 5, Episode 2 - The Beast Below by Steven Moffat

[Image: Liz 10 watches her ‘forget’ video message with Amy Pond and Mandy Tanner in the background.]

Exclusions:

The Doctor and Hawthorne discuss the children who weren’t eaten by the Star Whale (including girls) and the fact that the Doctor and Amy were not eaten.

The Doctor speaks over the phone with Churchill. The Doctor says ‘we’ (meaning himself and Amy) are on the way.

Series 7, Episode 1 - Asylum of the Daleks by Steven Moffat

[Image: Cassandra (an unknowing Dalek puppet) tells Amy she looks pale.]

Exclusions:

The Dalek PM was a borderline case as I couldn’t decide whether or not his lack of a name was justified under the criteria by being a Dalek outside of the Cult of Skaro. Ultimately I chose not.

When Rory and the Doctor do speak to each other for more than two lines the subject either includes Amy or Oswin.

Harvey and the Doctor speak about the Alaska’s crew, presumably including Oswin and potentially other female members.

Series 7, Episode 5 - The Angels Take Manhatten by Steven Moffat

[Image: Amy comforts River after she storms away from the Doctor.]

Exclusions:

Julius Grayle and Sam Garner speak about the Weeping Angels,

An older version of Garner tries to warn his younger self about the Angels.

Each of the Doctor and Rory’s conversations are about Amy, River and/or the Angels.

Series 7, Episode 8 - The Rings of Akhaten by Neil Cross

[Image: Clara Oswald and Merry Gejelh discuss Merry’s fear of getting the Long Song wrong.]

Exclusions:

Clara’s dad, Dave Oswald and the Doctor talk about a young Clara after she kicks a ball into the Doctor’s face.

The Doctor and Rezh Baphix speak to each other, but only for two lines. The line before is Rezh continuing to sing to the Old God. The line after is the Doctor repeating Rezh’s words to Clara and Merry after he has already teleported away.

Series 8, Episode 7 - Kill the Moon by Peter Harness

[Image: Clara, Courtney Woods and Lundvik discuss the choice they have to make without the Doctor.]

Exclusions:

The Doctor and Duke speak, but it’s about the team led by Lundvik and their response to Minera Luna San Pedro’s disappearance.

Series 9, Episode 7 - The Zygon Invasion by Peter Harness

[Image: Kate Stewart tells Bonnie (disguised as Clara) and Jac to keep in touch as she prepares to leave for Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.]

Exclusions:

Hitchley and the Doctor are the only named speaking men in the episode. They don’t converse with each other.

Series 9, Episode 8 - The Zygon Inversion by Peter Harness and Steven Moffat

[Image: Kate Stewart and Petronella Osgood watch as Bonnie refuses to surrender.]

Exclusions:

Etoine speaking with the Doctor is excluded as he’s also talking to Osgood. Osgood and Bonnie are also both part of the subject matter.

Series 9, Episode 11 - Heaven Sent by Steven Moffat

[Image: The Doctor is encouraged by the vision of Clara in his storm room.]

Exclusions:

The Gallifreyan boy at the end of episode doesn’t speak and isn’t named.
