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.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

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

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.

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.
He's going to get BJs from a tile.
No kidding. Yeargh.
They all seemed kind of dumb, though.
Yes, this. How many of your friends have to disappear after being last seen with the mysterious "no-touchy" asshole before you start thinking something is wrong? How many eps of Who do we have left in Season 2?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Ahhh. Got it. I thought it had more in common with "Love and Monsters" from the tone of the post on LJ.
I can't even remember which one comes after "Love and Monsters" -- err, the one with the little girl, maybe? Most of the S2 of the New Who is kind of a blur to me. I adored the ep with ASH and Sarah Jane and thought "Impossible Planet" and "Satan Pit" two-parter was tremendous, but found the rest of the lot so-so at best. I suppose there is going to be another Christmas special pretty soon?

Vonnie -- good thing that Doctor Who just aired, yeah?

Hera's hair is wacky and Book-like. I'm glad that they've finally shown her and that she seems to have grown a bit.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
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.
I really like L&M through and through. I thought the MoaningMyrtleTile was hilarious in its fuckedupedness.

Damn. I suppose we won't get a special preview on the website either.
All things considered, Helo and Sharon took the news about Hera rather well, didn't they?

"Fear Her" - reminded me of "Mirrormask" -- well the power of drawing things that come to life reminded me of "Mirrormask" - otherwise not very much alike.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In that Laura's still alive? Yeah, I was thinking that too.
Annoyed that all the promo showed us was more of the Kara & Lee show. I want more Cylons!
