We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I don't think Sookie thinks Eric loves her. he's never told her that. he just told Bill. she's just been fighting her attraction to him for years and now that he's turned into this sweet, tortured vampire she's finally giving in.

I don't know why you'd need a memory to know what love is. love isn't really about memories. it's about feelings.

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

Yeah, I don't think you need a memory to fall in love. I think he's fallen for what he's seen of her since he woke up funny, and I guess an argument may be made that it's soon for that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

but aren't feelings based in something more than 1 week's acquaintance? I think "love" involves really knowing a person. Eric can't claim that about Sookie, can he?

Love at first sight is a very oft-used trope.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Torchwood:

Art Crawl!!!

Which particular not rightness?

I am not happy about Vera.

That is what I'm not happy about.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes. that is what I was referring to. talk about the absolute worst way to "die" possible.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Canceling my season pass for Torchwood on my DVR. I've given this series more than enough chances.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm pretty much right behind you Tom.

There is just nothing compelling in the story. As much as I love Jack and Gwen, it seems all the fun _and_ profundity has been wrung out of the show.

I was holding out to see who/what would have engineered such a horrible assault on humanity, but I don't care anymore.

Comments where will be enough for me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Scola,

What was the straw that broke the camel's back?

I haven't seen the ep yet. Oh no.
