As much as I'm loving the twist-y nature of Torchwood: Miracle Day and the depiction of bureaucracy and government as one of the truly scariest threats to humanity, I can't help but think that Russell Davies' view of the U.S. this season is just as idealized and unrealistic as the claptrap of "Daleks in Manhattan." Because America, particularly ( Read more... )

Luckily, my quest to hibernate in fandom for the winter is going swimmingly!

cleolinda's New Moon in 15 Minutes is up, and it's AWESOME. So deliciously meta and highly quotable!

Still haven't seen Saturday's Merlin, but I wants it, Precious! And how did I not realize that it's Georgia Moffett involved in the Sorcery of the Week? Hiya, Jenny! How's it ( Read more... )

You know, with all the disappointment and hate going around (I seriously need to stop glancing at posts on those 'Save Ianto' communities), there are always things to celebrate as well, because as dark as they go, as fucked up as they are, creators like Joss Whedon and Russell T. Davies do one thing that many showrunners don't: They create women to ( Read more... )

My body woke me up at 5:30, I went "Oh, HELL no," and went back to bed until 8. Then, I made coffee and promptly started backtracking through my friendsfriends list to see if there's anything fun I missed while slumbering.

So. Links.

Go to around the 5 minute mark if you want to skip the intro and Uncle Rusty. At Comic Con, David snogs John, who ( Read more... )

That was, as Gwen Cooper would say,brilliant.

Seriously some of the best TV I have seen all year.

You may be a pompous asshat, Russell T. Davies, but you're a frickin' genius, too.

I am so drained.

OMG.

Is it bad that I'm torn between laughing at Torchwood fandom and wanting to scream?

( Spoilers for Children of Earth so far AND tonight as well )

Is there a crossover I *won't* try? Apparently not! This one's been in my head for a while and finally started taking shape last night. This morning I ran with it ( Read more... )

I thought writing this was hard, but titling it was even harder! Since nothing obvious came to light, I started looking through various poets' works...Eliot, Donne, and finally settled on the Welshman -- which, I suppose, is fitting.

At any rate, I don't write much Torchwood fic, and this one's a bit weird, so who knows how it will come off ( Read more... )

I watched VH1 Classic, drank my coffee and un-typed what was probably my umpteenth Noah and Luke rant. I actually had one that I spewed forth and then friends-locked because I know I'm a minority opinion in this giant crusade for Teh Ghey to eat Oakdale ( Read more... )

Since the show, overall, has been so good, this episode didn't make my head explode as MUCH as I thought it would...but it was a near thing. It was running parallel to my last nerve here and there, but never quite got on it. (Which, yes, will surprise you given the amount of rantiness behind the cut. I swear, this is what it's like when I'm NOT ( Read more... )
