We bought cake and found a really interesting second-hand bookshop. It ended well.

[The Doctor Alt 8]

Cake? I hope you brought enough to share with the whole forum....

This Bechdel test thing has me confused.

See, I can speak velociraptor, and I was wondering if Jurassic Park would get a pass. It's established that all the dinosaurs are female (apart from a minority of transgender dinos). Two of the 'Raptors discuss a male character, but it's in the context of them being food and as such they don't actually use any gender specific terms, so does it get a pass?

Although maybe it fails because the most prominent scene in which they feature is in a kitchen?
