You mean in terms of reordering the episodes?
Got it in one. =)
I've been a big proponent over on the "official" SciFi board for Eureka of watching the episodes in the original intended order. I've even gone so far as to set up a playlist in iTunes with them ordered properly and done a marathon a couple of times. Even with the edits for the reordering it holds up well. It certainly clears up the progression of several of the relationships within the larger story. I would love to see a "director's cut" of the season when they release it on DVD. The whole reordering debacle reminds me a bit of Firefly and of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil".

The Rodney figure thing looks like Bruce Willis to me.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Finally caught up on the last 3 Dr. Who's.
Enjoyed the Impossible Planet two-parter thingy. Didn't like "Love and Monsters" at all, and I normally enjoy outsider perspective episodes. But Elton just annoyed the crap out of me.
I found myself finding other things to do when he was talking into the camera or pointlessly dancing around for 10 minutes, and I'm not normally one to do other things when I'm watching an episode I haven't seen before.

I kind of have a little thing for ELO, so I enjoyed the dancing around bit. Hee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, that pretty much put me off from the episode right there. The rest of it was relatively entertaining, if not great. They all seemed kind of dumb, though.
And yet more Torchwood references! Man, they're really laying the groundwork thick.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I liked Elton quite well (I thought him dancing to ELO was adorable) and loved his interactions with Jackie, but yeah, the episode lost me at the Ursula-tile. Talk about WTF.
Someone on my LJ tells me the latest Torchwood eppie (which I'd stopped watching a few weeks ago because it was making me homicidal) borrows heavily from "Love and Monsters," which seems odd to me since I thought this was a fairly unpopular episode. Maybe regular viewers, as opposed to the internet-fan contingent, had a more favourable response to it?

Saying it borrows heavily from Love and Monsters implies that the idea of an outsider episode is somehow specially linked to L&M. Which...not. Also, the latest Torchwood doesn't so much concern itself with an outsider as it does one of the team investigating a mystery--you just get outsider narration as it happens.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
the Torchwood ep was really good. whereas Love and Monsters really wasn't. although tonight's ep of Who is much worse to me than L&M.
