Random Fandom on a Saturday Night

1. Despite the fact that none of my regular 'ships involve telepathy in any way (okay, except Stark/Zhaan, but there is always a Naked Blue Chicks exception) the fact that J'onn can't read Shayera's mind makes their relationship strangely kinky, and that works for me

:) I am trying to get out of the whole Silence thing. We'll see how it works.

You know of course that I love J'onn/Shayera under almost every circumstance because it is an almost human relationship. They are truly alien to each other.

I really love the British versions of "The Office" and "Life on Mars" and I find it hard to get behind the American version. Sometimes, I wish the major networks would import the originals like they use to when I was younger. :)

Ittook me a while to really warm to J'onn/Shayera, but I'm enjoying it a lot right now, and it's All Your Fault.

BBC America needs to be more generally available, then everyone would know the difference.

I've never seen Life on Mars. I really love Sarah Jane too. Why is it that The Sarah Janes Adventures is so good but Torchwood sucks so much?

[mtgat]

Have you caught up on S2 of Torchwood? I liked that significantly more than the WTFery of S1. Life on Mars is definitely an acquired taste. It's more violent than I normally like, but the acting is excellent.

"Bookworm Adventures?" Tell more, prithee!

Popcap Games, zomg. Purveyors of crack. We bought the full version of BA last Christmas when they were running a sale, and we still play it all the time.

Big chunks were shot-by-shot, though not all of it. The lack of swearing, the wacky accents and Blonde!Annie all seriously messed with my head, and I will not be watching more. I didn't notice more comedy in the pilot, since the jokes were the same. Up to you, really. If you've only watched a little of the UK version, it might not mess with your head.
