I enjoyed the two parter Dr. Who the last couple of weeks. Even some good acting. I did not notice much good acting in Torchwood.

I'd have to agree with regard to Billie Piper. In that she's kind of monkey-faced, yet manages to be reasonably attractive. I think Freema Agyeman is considerably more attractive, but there's a big aspect of her character that's just fucking annoying. Much like Billie's in S2.
ahem.
What episodes are they up to in the States now? I thought one of the standouts of S1 was The Empty Child. The Doctor Dances was also pretty decent, but I preferred the first part of the story. I've only watched a couple of Torchwoods so far. Maybe 3 of them? Not sure about it yet. Lesbian kissing is always nice, but I have other DVDs for when I really want to watch that sort of thing...

Well, at least you people and me will never fight over women. I find Billie Piper more beautiful than Freema.

Physical attractiveness is horses for courses. And they're both definately attractive. More attractive han I can ever remember the Doctor's companions being, in fact.
But then again, I was a kid when I was watching Mrs Baker, Perwee, etc. Thanks to our friends at, erm, British Telecom, that's an issue slowly being taken care of though...

The two parter the last couple weeks was pretty good. Well paced, good character development, and some interesting actors and writing. It's not just monster of the week. The montage which Baines narrates on the punishments the Doctor was inflicting on the Family? Pretty brilliant. "He was being kind" indeed. |

You don't seem to know what that word means. But then you are just a Grublet, maybe you will know the definition of words you are using once you grow up to be an adult grub.

I am aware of what the word means. I was trying to flame-bait you and you had to go and make it all boring. Poo. |

Be very careful with Tebonas, Grublet, because Germans are notoriously twitchy.

Where is the numchuck git and Stotlemeier (the chief from Monk)? Yes, beer hounds smell of dolphin forests when they spurt. |
I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

I watched the first Torchwood. I liked it, though it certainly isn't as good as Doctor Who and had its awkward moments. And what's up with Capt. Jack's hair? He looks like a racoon nested in his follicles.

Plus he's followed the tradition of David Boreanaz and gained 30 pounds upon being given his own series. :)

Dr. Who won a Hugo! I've seen the first 3 episodes of Torchwood and while it's no Dr. Who it's a fun show. I'll probably watch more. |

Or, from another point of view, complete and total toss.
YMMV.

His hair isn't bad considering he gets very ugly in the future. |

Back on the Who subject, I'm going to go out on a limb and make a prediction. After scouring the net looking for confirmation on whether or not there would be a 4th season, I came across some info that stated that Sally Sparrow would more than likely be the next companion (or one of them at any rate). My prediction is that she turns out to be the next Sarah Jane Smith of the series, the one companion that spans a lot of adventures and possibly multiple Doctors. Rose was close but not quite. Sarah was always my favorite companion and I can see Sally giving her some competition.
Haven't seen Torchwood yet. Don't have the digital cable so British Telecom may have to come through again unless Sci-Fi picks it up next year after the BBC:A run.

I was drinking when I wrote this, so sue me if it goes astray.

Mad skills with the rod.

well that would work for me. I think Blink is one of the best Who 'sodes of the old or new series. And Sally Sparrow was a big part of it. Plus I would show her my Timey Whimey Machine anyday :-D
Seriously though, I hope the rumor mill is correct on this one.
as fer torchwood, it is kinda like drinking luke warm budwiser when what you really want is a nice cold quality beer. It is still beer, but it is a crappy substitute.

Catherine Tate (The Bride in last Christmas special) will be the 4th season companion. Freema's Martha Jones will be in the second half of season 4 after saving the world for 3 episodes of Torchwood's second season.

The montage which Baines narrates on the punishments the Doctor was inflicting on the Family? Pretty brilliant. "He was being kind" indeed.
indeed. Tennant's doctor seems much more angry than any of the old ones. Well, angry, and also "so sorry" rather a lot. |

That bit actually reminded me of the later episodes of the 7th Doc (McCoy).

indeed. Tennant's doctor seems much more angry than any of the old ones. Well, angry, and also "so sorry" rather a lot. The new Dr. Who writers get the character. We know the Doctor is going to win. Everytime. The only question is at what moral cost? The Doctor was unwilling to go full bore at the Family because he was the only one at risk. When they started fucking with a bunch of other innocent people, then they were in trouble. Even then, he doesn't kill them. He just imprisons them, leaving them a chance for redemption. Dr. Who is basically a show about an omnipotent being who operates under strict self-constraints imposed by his moral beliefs. Many of the times the present Doctor is "so sorry" are because he's lying: he can fix the problem (he has superscience and a fucking time machine), but he's unwilling to violate his beliefs in that manner, or because of his own selfish failings (when he admits to the matron that he can bring back John Smith, but he won't. He selfishly wants to be the Doctor.) |

That would rule. I thought her and that episode was very entertaining and the perfect follow up to the bummer that was losing Rose. |

More proof, if any were needed, that everyone on the Internet is a fucking liar. Seriously, next time try the BBC website. :) |
