A crossover that just made my head spin
Rewatched House MD for the first time in years a couple months ago, really the first time i've actually watched in order and paid attention.
I got to 4x15 "House's Head" (wow, those who know will know) and I knew i'd seen this woman's face somewhere, but I just couldnt figure it out (very fitting and honestly enriching to the character and her role in the episode, known only as "The Answer").
Nothing stood out to me on Ivana Millîcević's Movies and TV Shows google page. And for some reason, even tho I knew it wasn't her, I couldn't get my mind away from Mila Jovovich long enough for another name or character to come to me. I admittedly didn't look very hard and eventually stopped thinking about it, but it bothered me.
Cut to today, im on my millionth buffy rewatch, and decided to not skip 6x15 "As You Were" as i usually do (nothing big against it or Riley or anything, the ep just always bored me a little), and half way through I started thinking to myself; "wow, Samantha reminds me a little of Mila Jovovich..." and I shot up in my seat like a penny dropped from space into my living room.
The Answer was Sam the whole time 😭

Kinda wish Walsh had stayed through more of season 4
She's kind of all over the map as a character, but i've found myself enjoying her quite a lot through this last rewatch.
I wish things hadnt falled through with the actress and that there was more time to develop her before Adam was introduced. Feel like her death and the adam reveal would've been more shocking and effective that way too.

Olivia
Just past Hush on my most recent rewatch. Still brilliant, had me glued to the TV as always, but this time i found myself a little more focused on Olivia than usual, and its got me really wishing she'd had a bigger role in things.
​
Shes so captivating given how limited her screentime was. She had great chemistry with Giles and her potential story of grappling with the truth of the supernatural and its danger is something i'd have loved to see padded out a bit more.
​
I wish she'd either showed up earlier in the season and then left after being rattled by the events of hush, or stayed a while afterwards and either decided later down the line that sunnydale wasnt for her, or maybe even became a series regular.
​
Just feel like there was a lot of potential there that couldve been interesting to explore, as much as what we get from her between hush and restless feels fairly complete as a kind of background arc for giles.

[TOMT] Vivid colour 3d glass photography technique
I saw a tiktok a few days ago of a 3d image of flowers projected into a small glass block, with vibrant and deep colours shifting in and out of the form depending on the angle, but i cant remember the name of the process.
I believe a comment said its one of the best ways of capturing true to life colour in an image, and that the projections in the block would flouresce the same way the actual flowers do if captured in UV light.
It was really beautiful and i'm interested in knowing more, does anyone know what the process is called?

Im just wondering as a rule how much space i should leave between cuttings that im potting together.
Ive been looking for flatter, wider pots to house a few offcuts from a bigger overgrown mother, but all the shallow pots i can find are still fairly narrow and more suited to succulents or bonsai trees. Cant imagine thered be enough space for multiple cuttings and the bushy setup im looking for, but maybe im wrong.
I have a few decent sized regular pots but their height doesnt feel ideal for sprawling as the plants might droop down too much.
Just looking for some advice and maybe pot recs so i dont kill my babies.
