Why couldn't there be a planet called Zeus? I mean, are they supposed to be in our system now?
BTW, I hear that there was a fun promo for Heroes after the repeats on NBC last night. (I didn't see it though.)
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

It wasn't so much this week they're hungry as this week their food supply has been contaminated, so they're hungry. Seemed reasonable to me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, right, they did suddenly have a reason. Good point.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I didn't think it was funny--but totally understood how it was the most hysterical thing in the world for Tigh and Adama.
Yeah, this. And it was such a great character moment.
I thought the food thing seemed unexpected, but not asspully. Just a way to elucidate their vulnerability.

Anyone else downloaded this week's Torchwood ep yet? I really liked both this week's and last week's; I think this show is winning me back. A lot of my warmth or lack thereof towards any particular episode is related to how likeable/useful Gwen is, and I thought this episode did a good job of showcasing the things that I like about her, plus she got to solve a mystery all on her own.
There was no moment like last week's "Kinky gay stopwatch sex?" "You bet!", sadly, but maybe they're saving it up for next week's, which looks potentially awesome.

I'm just starting my weekly Torchwood aheming now... probably won't be done for hours! ::stamps tiny foot::

Our wings are not tired.
Like most things, I am behind on the Torchwood viewing. I've only watched the first 3. Not totally sold yet, but I have the rest in my queue that I will watch before I make up my mind. I need to get to know the characters more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For some reason the running short of water bothered me less. Perhaps because it's been how many episodes and the food issue has been completely transparent. Even introducing a replicator malfunction in Trek would seem more natural to me because we saw replicators all the time.
I need to finish the Torchwood ep. I was too zoned out and had to keep rewinding. I have these character questions I want to ask, but maybe they're answered in the next ten minutes.

Okay, watched it. Liked it. Different rhythm. However, my question remains extant--what's up with the Owen/Gwen thing? We've only seen it filtered through Tosh mostly, and nothing here. Also wondering about poor Rhys.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and in no way sorry she passed. It wasn't a Mineary execution, one where I suddenly end up liking the character before they get splattered all over the walls.No, I never really liked Kat anymore before she died.
And, sadly, watching the ep, I was waiting for the "Minear" because I wanted her to die but I wanted to feel a little bit bad about it first.
