So who were the 123?

Just to let you know, Neil H is now lurking on LJ with the cunning username of [livejournal.com profile] neil_h. I knew all that nagging would wear him down eventually ;o)

Highlights for me this week have been a fab dinner as always at Chez Lahlou for [livejournal.com profile] ju_bear's birthday, and Torchwood - which has managed to be tense, moving, morally complicated and just generally brilliant for the whole week (even if I did yell "Hey!" at the 'cockroaches of government' gibe). So how come the first two series were just so much smutty trash?

...because smutty trash is what lots of fangirls like?
(says she who, being renowned for liking smutty trash, got fed up of series 2 after 1/2 episode)

Was that because after the Captain Jack/Spike episode, there was just nowhere left for slashfic writers to go? ;o)

Spike? Don't think I remember that...

Sorry, "Captain John Hart". Not just James Marsters-playing-Spike-pretending-to-be-Captain Jack at all. Oh dearie me, no.

I figured you meant James Marsters, but I couldn't remember him being in Torchwood so I must've stopped watching before that happened...

I think you'd remember this episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj7Q2M5hB5A) if you'd seen it...

Vaguely. Lots has happened since.

Oh no, I think I remember the trailer, not the episode.
Whatever. Not like I care about TW these days.

Bloody hell Torchwood was depressing! Good, but depressing. Although I did laugh at the "shooting up on children" bit - I said exactly those words just before the character. So I am clearly twisted :D

A more triumphant ending would've been nice after all the downers, but the ending they had was still very good.

glad to know league tables will eventually have their uses!
chilling-because that's exactly what we'd do if this situation arose-the poor and dumb ones go first....shudder
i assume its coming back for a new series despite killing off pretty much everyone?!

Rather worryingly, when they were trying to choose the 10%, I thought of rounding up all the chavs before they even suggested it...

[identity profile] longhairedhippy.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
It was the obvious choice, really...

Thanks for coming on Thurs! :D

Will make arrangement for lunch before summer is out! :)
