My Heroes History and Torchwood Recap/Rant/Mindless Babble: SPOILERS!!!
So, have you ever wondered where the hell I came from? I really didn't start watching Heroes consistantly/obsessively until after the six-week break, with episode 19.
A friend of a friend recomended it to me, so I tried it out. I began with Episode 4, where Claire wakes up on an autopsy table. My TV was so fuzzy I kept squinting and jiggling the antenae. I didn't have a clue what the hell was going on. I thought Isaac was hot (through the pixels) and found Peter annoying, but that was about it. I watched next week's episode, then stopped. I couldn't figure it out, it was on too late (if I don't have an amazing amount of sleep I'm a zombie for days) and it was a bit gross.
A little while later I found out you could watch the episodes (legally) on nbc.com, so I did. I liked it. I watched Episode 17 (Company Man) on a trip and got hooked again. I watched fan-vids, started an account on IMDb.com towards the end of April, started reading slash, and joined LJ at the end of May. I became obsessed, got a friend to tape the finale (damn school trip with no TV!) and read the graphic novels like wildfire.
So that's my Heroes story. I'm super-hyped for Season 2, not just because it's starting again, but because I'm starting with everyone else. I know how to get my antenae just right so I can view it almost perfectly, have the nbc site bookmarked, and Mast Lists of Heroes Slash.
Just wanted to put that out there.
Now, TORCHWOOD SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 3!
Oh I LOVE an episode with good flashbacks. I don't know why, I'm just strange. And poltergiests (which is what they were, ghosts are spirits of the dead, poltergiests are usually manifestations of psycological trauma, sort of focused mental energy if you will ... usually associated with teenage girls going through puberty but not always) are wicked cool.
The scene with Jack teaching Gwen how to shoot was just ... incredibly hot. I mean ... wow. I'm not the kind of person who likes guns, too ... kinda adverse to them actually, more of a swords and archery kinda girl ...
Poor Harold! (That's his name, right?) I mean, we get these sweet flashbacks of him and Gwen and I have the horrible feeling that he's going to die a really nasty death or storm off out of the show.
Whenever I see that building I always think 'giant bread loaf smack in the middle of Cardiff.' I mean, are there many buildings like that? ...
Jack lives in Torchwood ... I almost thought we'd get this image of him sitting in a chair, petting the perodactyl on the head like a dog and all this sad, plinky piano music playing ... is the perodactyl ever going to be explained?!
Owen has a dark and mysterious past, doesn't he? He's all funny and horny and stuff but deep down I think he's got a really disturbing past.
Btw, in episode 2, after Owen (naked) comes out of the cell, Gwen asks if he's alright, or does he still fell 'a bit of a c-' what got cut off there? I kinda want to know ...
Ah well, next week looks WONDERFUL! Is that some kind of cyborg? Isn't she Jack's girlfriend? Where did I read that ....
