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?
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Love at first sight is a very oft-used trope.

Torchwood:

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."

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.

Scola,
What was the straw that broke the camel's back?
I haven't seen the ep yet. Oh no.

It was what bonny said. It wasn't so much what happened in the episode, but what didn't happen.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I've never been a huge fan of Gwen (love her kicking ass, but the personal stuff annoys me), but I hated that she was a huge hypocrite. If the doctor had signed the order to recategorize her dad, she would have walked away. Instead, because the doctor stood her ground, Gwen went on about the horror and the shame of it. but she would have been willing to let it go if it saved her dad.
