Things that I'm quite enjoying at the moment...
1. Torchwood. I've seen some negative responses to it, both on my flist and in various other places online, but I've gotten to a place where that's not making me doubt my own reaction to the show, which has been overwhelmingly positive. I love the characters, I love the dynamics, I love where they seem to be going.
2. Lois Lane on Smallville. In ( Read more... )
Bless. I'm not doubting it either (well, except when I get really depressed at oh dark thirty), I'm just tired of seeing it. :-) I love both the characters and where they're going with them. It's all good. Although Captain Jack could get a little more (on-screen) loving for my taste. ;-)
And, on a similar note, Oliver Queen is a terrific character. I'm really enjoying him.
I love, love, love Ollie. I hope we get to keep him. I haven't any idea of how long he's supposed to be on the show, but I keep seeing people talk about he won't be around for the whole season. I don't know whether that's supposition, or actual fact, though. I'm also enjoying both Lois and Lana more than I ever have, which I never would've expected. I'm really looking forward to tonight.
I adore Rose Tyler, even more in S2 than in S1 (which makes me something of a rarity, as I understand).
There are small pockets of Series 2 Rose fans, never fear. We do seem to be somewhat of an endangered species, though. And although I had some issues with her in the first few episodes, I think that was just her getting used to the new Doctor, as we all were. By the time the Series ended, I loved her more than ever.
her chemistry with the tenth Doctor is a bit more powerful and playful than her chemistry with the ninth and I just flat-out adore Rose with her Doctor (I do see Ten as her Doctor, more so than Nine -- Nine was the shell-shocked war survivor, who was clinging as much as he was loving)
I love how different people's POVs are on this. So many people see a distinct lack of chemistry between Ten and Rose, and think it's much better with Nine. *shrug* Ah, well.
It's a really great show, with tons of smart and capable characters.
I truly came to love this show, and the characters, by the end. I think I said to you earlier that I originally was watching it just to have something to watch, and never expected to actually look forward to it every week. Now I really want to know when they'll be airing more episodes.

I've just convinced myself that Captain Jack has been spending too much time pining away over the Doctor and Rose and that he'll get back into the swing of things any time now (the stopwatch scene thinks that maybe that happened at the end of the episode and that we'll get more later on -- he was much more breezy and outspoken about his past sexual exploits in the last episode).
I can definitely understand being tired of the negativity. I've gotten to the point where I only read the posts of people that I know enjoy the show.
Even with that, there were comments that I read about the most recent episode that were not only incredibly negative but that also didn't make much sense. Like people not getting why Suzie assumed that Gwen was her replacement. Gosh, maybe it's because Gwen is the only new person on the team since Suzie died. Also, Gwen was in the room while Jack questioned Suzie, which would make her jump to the 'second-in-command' substitution, plus Gwen woke her up with the glove. What more evidence does Suzie really need?

Lana has really surprised me this year. I wasn't expecting to enjoy her character arc so much.

Right, they had some oddness in the beginning, when they hadn't yet figured out what things between them had changed and what hadn't. But by the end of the season, I just adored them, and especially Rose, so very much (which makes me so nervous about next season -- I trust RTD to create characters that I love, I mean, just look at Rose, but will the actress be able to make Martha as endearing and unique as Rose was? I hope so.).

It's rather fascinating, I agree.

They are definitely airing more of Eureka, right? I'm sure that I read that there would be more.

Yes! I just have no idea when. I thought it'd be in January, but I just double-checked myself and according to the Sci-Fi Channel's schedule, all the episodes in January are Season 1 repeats. *shrug* So I don't know when the new episodes are airing. But so far as I know, it did get the green light for Season 2, and it should happen sometime in 2007. I'm just hoping it's not next Fall, or something.

I am very nervous about next season, as well. I'm there for the characters, and of course I love the Doctor, but the other character I loved is gone. Hopefully Martha is awesome, but I also don't want to go into it with my expectations too high, so I'm not disappointed, you know? *sigh*

Well, yes, except that's what I was doing when I had my little negativity freakout the other morning. ;-) I suppose nobody's completely 100% safe.

I'm thinking that must be it. I hope we get to see much more of this. I definitely think he's still in love with the Doctor & Rose, but seriously. It's just not right for Captain Jack not to be getting some. Although you do realize that some people are still claiming the stopwatch scene was ambiguous, and nothing sexual occurred after it. *eyeroll* Honestly.

Indeed. I don't want to convince myself that she'll be spectacular and I'll love her because... well, I did that with Reinette and I ended up hating that episode with a fiery passion (makes no sense in the context of the season arc. none.).
