The Heroes on tonight is still a rerun, true? We get a new season sometime this month though, don't we?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Tonight is definitely a rerun - new eps start, I think, the 24th.

Just watched Torchwood. Surprisingly,I didn't love it. I mean, I loved the hottness of John Barrowman, but it was meh for me. I really didn't like the interstitials with their abruptness and annoying sounds. I will, of course, continue to watch.

Don't feel weird for not loving Torchwood, Vortex. I love everything, and I didn't love it. In fact, I kind of hated it and stopped watching after about five episodes.
Many people do love it, though, and say it gets better near the end, as shows often do.

I was very disappointed with Torchwood too; kept waiting for it to get better and it didn't, really. Or at least, it never lost its rather childish, "look at me! I'm for grown-ups! I can have sex and swear!!1!" attitude, which was tiresome.
I'm trying not to get my hopes up that it will have found its feet in the season two, especially now that Who has resolved some of the Jack issues.

Happy EUREKA day, everyone. I'm unreasonably fond of that show, even if I nitpick it to death afterwards.

Yeah, not so much with the Torchwood love myself either. I'm afraid I just couldn't get around Owen being just a reprehensible pig and the show having no underlying sense of humour. Just a wee smidge of not-taking-ourselves-TOO-seriously would have gone down a treat. (I was surprised, as it's one of the things I love best about Dr Who is the ability to put forth a serious subject in a not-humourless manner.)
On the other hand, I've seen the pilot for the Sarah Jane Chronicles (not to be confused with the Sarah Connor Chronicles, in case I am) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe the Whoverse simply works best when it allows itself to be a kid show watched by adults, rather than trying to put an adult stamp on something that needs an essential touch of innocence to work.

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

It's The Sarah Jane Adventures.
