This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Yeah, Vonnie, no need to inflict
Torchwood
on yourself just for that.
And yes, now that he's been in the trailer too we can finally talk about
John Simm! I was very happy to see him, especially flashing that delicious smile, which he didn't nearly get the chance to do often enough on Life on Mars.
In fact, the whole trailer was extremely appetite-whetting; I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season. This one's been enjoyably consistant so far, for me.
I thought the last episode was
good too, mainly because of Mark Gatiss. And also because of reversing the polarity, and going up to 11.
Dr. Who: WTF, that was
John Simm???
I totally didn't
recognize him!

Oh, I thought you meant the
guy whispering into Martha's Mum's ear.
I assumed that was
Saxon,
not
John Simm
in the promo.
Who!
Captain Jack! John Simm! YAYE.
I didn't think that
the dude talking to Martha's mom was Saxon. I thought it was a Saxon lackey, or someone from Torchwood, who told Martha that this was from Saxon. Because if it was Saxon, that's a lame-o way to introduce a character. And it couldn't have been, realistically, because everyone would have been mobbing the political candidate.
Also,
Saxon wasn't just mentioned in casting spoilers. They've been name-dropping him and showing posters and props on the set since the first episode of the season, not unlike Bad Wolf and Torchwood.
That trailer
freaking ROCKED. It was just, boom boom boom, awesome awesome awesome. Two weeks! I don't want to wait.
Vonnie, you don't have to watch
Torchwood to understand the new Who eps. There wasn't more than a passing reference on TW itself about Jack leaving, so it shouldn't be an issue. I have to say, I really disliked TW for about the first five episodes, but I kept watching because, well, I do that sort of thing. And it started to get better as it went along. The season finale made be both squee and weep in equal measures, which was far more than I expected. So it might be worth giving it another chance just for the 2-part season finale.
Yes, to confirm: the guy
whispering to Martha's mum: definitely not Saxon. A lackey or Torchwood, maybe both.
John Simm: definitely playing Saxon. The scene in the trailer where he has an oxygen mask over his face and is drumming something on the table... rather creepy.
I know a little bit more about the character, but that's definitely for Spoilers, not here.
Two weeks! I don't want to wait.
Yes, because of the bloody Eurovision Song Contest. Ugh.
the bloody Eurovision Song Contest.
So sad that Lordi are the exception and not the rule.
I am trying VERY hard to be good and NOT watch them this time.
Well, really, last week's just revealed that DEAN calls Sam from Metallicar and then DEAN calls Sam from an unknown dwelling.
Michael Shanks has a TV Guide celebrity blog!
I was weak. I watched the SPN Director's Cuts. And I want the episode NOW, dammit!! Of course, by 10 o'clock on Thursday, I'll immediately be demanding the second half.
