I've got a to-do list, and on Monday it says watch TV. A lot of TV. So I did, and eeeeeee! Can't tell for fear of spoilers!

(One thread per show, link please, and have fun guys! :D)

Oh, yes, Mondays are my 'knit like a fiend and glue myself to the laptop' nights!

And man oh man, Mammoth Season 1.06. On the one hand, I'm so glad the distressed mammoth calf from the trailer wasn't Angeline! On the other hand... augh, where is Angeline? I keep picturing her all alone and scared somewhere!

Everybody on the messageboard seems to be assuming that the Other John is our John's not-so-dead father. But they're both Andy Serkis, which has got me wondering if Other John is regular John from the future...

[be_themoon]

it's TOTALLY our John. CRAZY.

oh time travel! so so strange.

[ironychan]

I may go mad waiting for next season. I just may.

[jjpor]

Well, I don't want to go bringing you down or anything, but the word is it hasn't been picked up for a second season...

How, though?! This was a great series, and it was just reaching some sort of climax, too! I feel cheated! ;D

But yes, another really good episode with a lot going on. I fear for Angeline. I fear even more for Jean-Pierre and for Brother of Thunder and family (although the bit with Kim pulling the faces was kind of amusing, even if it shouldn't have been).

And I just assumed it was "our" John from the future - don't know why all those people took the other opinion. They're wrong. ;D

Cooking Up Murder.

Another brilliant episode. Gareth David Lloyd as the bass guitarist, John, yum! Did anyone else get the feeling that JJ had a crush on the lead singer J Brightwolf? That comment of J's to JJ about being in a pack sugests J knows more than he's saying. The manager was a bit of an arse, not wanting J to retire from the music scene and practically blackmailing him. YAY for a Torchwood reference from JJ and Danny muttering about calling the Doctor. That kiss of gratitude between J and JJ was sweet and just a little bit hot. Harry saying she wants to film the kiss and sell it on Ebay was funny as hell. Taking out the bad guy with a cymbal and J's water bottle was really funny. Glad none of the band members had done it but was anyone else tempted to write slash fics between the four of them?

John: We were almost called 'Triple JD'.
JJ: Why?
John: *points to each of the band members in turn* John, James, Jack and David.
J: *sarcastically* Oh, well done, John. Now he knows my first name.
John: You love me really.

This episode was awesome! But for all our speculation last week, nobody turned out to be a werewolf. I must remedy this via fanfic. I must indeed. Then you can write a sequel to my werewolf fic that continues the Dr. Who Crossover, and the fandoms will reach critical mass and explode.

[jadekirk]

Oh yes! I was so sad that no one was a werewolf or at least was identified as a werewolf in this episode. Needs more werewolves.

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

[ironychan]

I just have this thing for werewolves. There's so much else to love about both Finding Charlie and Mightier than the Sword, and yet every time I tune in, what am I squealing over? Yay, werewolves!

The Fourth Wall 1.05

OMG, the Goth Club. The Goth Club. And the way Nick just dressed up in a top hat and tail coat and fit right in. I died and I am dead.

Also big, big ♥s for Mike complaining to Kate that "I could never marry anyone named Ermintrude!" Hee.

[kayefierch]

Nick should just wear a top hat all the time. Actually, everyone should.

Dude, I would so name my child Ermintrude. And probably be murdered later by them, and rightfully so, but still.

[be_themoon]

TOP HATS AND TAIL COATS wooooo!

Ermintrude LOL.

[flyakate]

top hats and tails = always in style. &hearts

Also, I was kind of concerned we never saw Brandon this episode. He seems to be acting sneaky and it is CONCERNING ME. Eek.

Paranormal Division, 1x12

...someone please tell me I didn't imagine a finger twitch from Lizzie. Please. BECAUSE THE EPISODE WAS WAY TOO AMBIGUOUS.

Good points: Ellen was every bit as OMG PROTECTIVE as I thought she was going to be, they caught the bastard responsible, and BEN.
BEN. TACKLING THE GUY. AND NOT BEING SUPER AWKWARD RE: STEVE'S EPIC CRUSH. EEEEE.

[ironychan]

That was totally a finger twitch. And her eyes were moving behind the closed lids, as if she's dreaming.

Not that I watched the scene three times just to be sure or anything.

[minkhollow]

GOOD. \o/ I don't have to break up with this show after all!
If she's still down at the beginning of next season, though, I'll be more than slightly pissed off. Still in the hospital, I could probably handle, but at least let her wake up!

[kayefierch]

It would be stupid and wasteful to have someone stick around for this long in a coma only to kill them off. At least, that's what I keep telling myself.

Finding Charlie 1.08

I so loved that this episode began with a chance to see the characters relaxed and having fun - they don't do enough of that. Though I must say, Jaime looking longingly at the woods was a bit ominous.

And then I cried like a baby at the end. When the psychic guy was first introduced I really thought they were going to find a way to save his granddaughter, but as the episode went on the more worried I got, and then... oh, man, I bawled.

[kayefierch]

Dude, all I'm gonna say is: worst superpower EVER. I can't even decide if I was surprised or not, because obviously I was hoping they'd save her, but this show doesn't exactly like to do things the easy way. WHICH IS WHY I HATE AND LOVE IT SO MUCH.

[flyakate]

Dude, all I'm gonna say is: worst superpower EVER.

SERIOUSLY, ISN'T IT? Man, this show just knows where to twist the knife by raising our hopes and then KILLING PEOPLE. *whimper*

[ironychan]

Oh, god, I just got a terrible premonition of my own. Tom's going to be in next week's episode. You don't think they'll kill him off, do you? I mean, he's kind of a tool, but you feel sorry for him, and... oh, god, now I'm terrified.
