BBCA is showing "The Girl in the Fireplace" and I immediately thought, "THAT'S where I last saw that plot about watching the little girl grow up from Moonlight last night."

And now, I'll have to watch season 2 because
ACK! Wish you had put the spoiler warning in BEFORE the spoiler!
oh well, I kind of inferred that from the discussions about what the casting spoilers are. It's just impossible to watch stuff on delay and stay spoiler free.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
lisah, the situation is probably more complicated than you think it is.
But yeah, given the respective airing schedules of Doctor Who and Torchwood in the U.S., it's hard to keep track of the continuity sometimes.

Oh, it's cool! I'm sure it will still be interesting to me and I don't really expect to stay completely unspoiled for shows that loads of people are able to watch months before I am.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Surprised nobody mentioned the use of the Rogue Traders in this DW ep.
We're catching up on Torchwood because Hubs was away on business. We're halfway through "Ghost Machine." My reactions -- so far, there doesn't seem to be a lot of "there" there, and the character of Captain Jack makes a better sidekick than boss.

Oh, man. I'm so sorry. I edited to put the spoiler warning before, but barn door and horses and all that.

On its own, it's an annoying little dance song, but it works beautifully in context. All the mention of the drums leading up to the "here comes the drums" intro in the song -- the incongruence of it all was rather delightful. My favourite bit in that scene is probably the shots of Lucy Saxon dancing (badly) to the song in some kind of sexual thrall, which was so perversely right, and reminded me strongly of Drusilla.

That was hilarious!
I'm actually liking Torchwood a lot more than I expected to given the reaction here. I love Gwen, anyway. Barrowman's "American" accent still sounds fake to me and that bugs.

Back when the episode first aired, I said you had to love a bad guy who used the word "decimate" correctly AND had his own evil theme song.

It's not annoying! It's fun! They took the "Pump It Up" riff and made it even more fun.

Totally agree!

he does tend overenunciate, doesn't he? i suppose since he's surrounded by all Brits he finds it hard not to automatically slip into his Scottish accent and is trying to make sure he doesn't.
