Doctor Who: 4.1 "Partners in Crime"

[janeway216]

I have a Torchwood post-mortem planned, but every time I sit down to discuss it I end up yelling and frothing incoherently and I have to go sit someplace dark until I calm down again.

Eh, if he needs another one he can just stop off at whatever Sonic Screwdriver-Mart he's been going to to buy replacements, since we've seen at least two break or get lost, plus there's the sonic lipstick he gave Sarah Jane.

I'm still hacked off about the T'wood finale. It didn't make me cry (or even tear up), it just made me angry. Owen getting deaded didn't bother me since I haven't liked him since the pilot and the seduction pheromones -- I just found the whole 'using chemical substances to induce consent in an obviously unwilling partner' thing really repulsive. Toshiko, on the other hand, was my favorite, mostly because she was clearly the Best of Them: the only one who wasn't incompetent or evil and had never managed to get someone killed through her own failings.

I'm also rather disgruntled by rumors I've heard about the way the whole thing was handled. True, it's all I-have-a-friend-who-works-at-BBC-Wales-and-they-heard-that, so who knows how accurate they are, but one rumor said that Mori and Gorman had asked for more money and were turned down. I've also heard that there was no discussion with the actors, that they were presented with the script as a fait accompli, this is it, you're going to die and you're off the show. Put them together, does sound an awful lot like the producers firing them for asking for a raise, which doesn't really reflect well on anyone involved. Obviously this sort of thing happens all the time, look what happened to Jorja Fox and George Eads on CSI, but it's still rather disgruntling that I lost my favorite character over a pay dispute.

Where is this mart and how do I get there? ^_^
