tiggy, oh! That makes sense, of course. I knew we'd seen something like that but couldn't place it.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just parsed the end of ita's comments above in a very odd way. I took the word "like" to mean "acting like", and was briefly very confused.
The same thing happened to me!
Kate, his acting just didn't sell it to me. I can't be any more specific than that. Everyone else seems to have liked him, so I'll just sit alone in my bad-acting corner.
I'll join you in that corner, Jon. I thought he was sort of eye-rolly over-the-top, with that constant bug-eyed look.
The scarecrows were pretty freaky, indeed.
I don't think anyone's mentioned that the Doctor's new squeeze is Jessica Stevenson/Hynes from Spaced! Whee! I just barely recognized her after a while, and it wasn't immediate because the role is so different. I didn't expect to see her on the show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PC, when was the possessed schoolboy bug-eyed? I don't recall that at all.
The misreading of my previous post made me laugh, since I hesitated over word choice there--though the misread never occurred to me--I just refused to use love even though Martha did. I'm perhaps overly sentimental or something. Though it was all very believably done.

ita, I'm probably using the wrong word. But his constant intense, never-blinking stare and curled smirk were just like, "No one notices this guy has been INHABITED BY EVIL or something?" Keep it on the down-low, you know?

Ooh! I just saw an ad for Torchwood on BBCA! It's starting in September!!!! (They're playing "The Empty Child" right now.)

Excellent. Who's airing this latest season of Dr. Who in the US? And when?
Also, does BBCA edit for content, or just commercial time?

Scifi will air season 3 starting in July.
I don't know that BBCA edits for more than time. Afterall they air Footballer's Wives which was designed to be smutty. I don't think that Torchwood is MORE smutty than FW.
Fred Pete - May 28, 2007 10:29:16 am PDT #1958 of 10001
Ann, that's a ferret.
And BBCA airs Footballers' Wives at all times of the day. They recently had reruns at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern), and the new season will air at 8:00 (Eastern) on Wednesdays.

Me three.
I would like to get it on with John Winchester. There. I said it.
So say we all. Well, so say we many.
Re: the acting in 3.08 - I didn't put it down to bad acting, it was just kind of an irritating portrayal to me. I thought he played the WTF invisible spaceship scene well. Also, the actor himself was v. cute in the Confidential, which is completely beside the point, and yet, true.
