In a moment of weakness, before I finished my coffee, I read Rusty's interview in SFX magazine.  Now I will go find a brick and hit myself with it....

Well, at least it does clarify that TW4 will, in fact, be CoE2.  Rusty summarizes the TW team--well, duo--as "demoted" during and after CoE, and they are "terrorists on the run."  I don't even pretend ( Read more... )

“Do you think?! Actually, this story is also very dark.  I think with that, Torchwood found its feet. People found something very compelling and very chilling about it. I love the way people got on their high horse saying, ‘Oh, he killed his grandson!’ Hello! He saved every single child in the world! If you would fail to do that then you’re the ( Read more... )

Just a bit of a musing on John Barrowman's AfterElton interview, in which Barrowman advises former fans of TW who still miss the character of Ianto to "Get over it."  He even admits his phrasing is "harsh":  gee, ya think?

It's not really surprising.  Actually, it's not suprising at all....In a recent conversation, suo_gan and I were discussing the ( Read more... )

So.  TW: USA is a go on Starz.  Overseen by the duo of Rusty and Gardner.  Ten episodes, Barrowman, Myles, and assorted whoevers.

Short answer:

Reset and bring back Ianto Jones--you've probably got me.  Pick up where you left off, and you can just get off at the next exit, plzkthnx.

I read the news of this new series and, truly, my first reaction was ( Read more... )

Moffat's DW keeps chugging along:  I do appreciate coherent, consistent story arcs.  Still to be seen how it all pans out--but, so far:   it's nice to have a sense that things really are going some place.

I was thoroughly spoiled for Rory in this episode, and I'm thoroughly spoiled for what's to come.  That's one souvenir of Rusty's era:  I prefer ( Read more... )

Good God.

I had a bit of a $$$$ windfall recently, so I decided to splurge and buy the second season of Rusty's DW:  I hadn't actually ever seen all of it (nor of season 4, but I wasn't quite that free with my extra cash)....I just watched "The Christmas Invasion," which is one of the episodes I never saw--Tennant's introduction to the show.

Good God ( Read more... )

Hints and rumors about the DW finale are very encouraging ( Read more... )

There was a post somewhere on LJ in the past couple of days....probably over on torch_wood....musing on the effects of Children of Earth on the TW fandom......Wherever it was, I didn't feel like replying there, but just the reference to the topic pretty much got me irritated all over again.  Not the post--the topic of the post.  CoE.

TW is obviously ( Read more... )

I really didn't expect to get hooked on Steven Moffat's Doctor Who....Never been a devoted fan of the show:  I watched Tom Baker in my teens and loved (most of) it.  I tried to watch Peter Davison and was bored to death; one look at Colin Baker's clown outfit and there was no way I was going there, and Sylvester McCoy looked, literally, cut from ( Read more... )
