This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I watched Tin Man and was seriously underwhelmed. Part of the problem is that it dark and murky on my tv and I wasn't engaged. I really didn't care about DG (and I'm laying a lot of that on the actress). I HATED the actress who played Azkadelia. I read an interview where she said she played the character really over the top, something to do with all the special effects and wanting to be larger than life. I think it was a really really bad choice, no one else had that level of over emoting (except, oddly the Mother, I didn't get her at all) and it just magnified how OTT she was.
There were some interesting ideas, but it was just eh. For the most part.
Azkadelia actually grew on me. I agree that the actress made bad choices, or was directed poorly, but I don't think she's talentless.
The only time she really felt natural was when Azkadeilia was trying to fake out DG. That was the only time when I didn't feel like she was trying so hard. I don't know if I've seen her in other stuff (checking out imdb I probably haven't) so I don't know if she's a bad actress or just made bad choices, but considering what I read and the rest of the movie I'll go with bad choices and bad directing.
I wanted the Ronans to go off and duel...
There was that moment when they first saw each other, and one of them had a sweet li'l grin on his face: I figured it was RepliRonan, knowing in an all-out fight between them, he would win simply because he could just keep going no matter the injuries inflicted.
. . . or something.
We could do experiments...

...there must be lots and lots of fic. Because 2 Ronans is just the Best. Idea. Evah.
heads for bunk
Old News:
I just saw the first Torchwood and, my god, they really are ALL bi. All of them. Well, maybe not Gwen, but she wasn't too put off by the girl-snogging; and Tosh sort of surprised herself with the girl-shagging, but she seemed to be pretty happy doing it.
Tell me it's a Welsh thing. Please? All of Wales is totally comfortably bi?
Also, I'm catching up on years-old SG1. Another miraculous prophecy pregnancy? (Pregphecy? Prognancy? I like prognancy. Maybe sprogphecy.) REALLY? And, whoah, was that Inara?
I missed SciFi.
I love that. Not so much the pointless bazoom-showing tight-pants outfit, but Inara. Seriously, as a child she wore (and was surrounded by) near-Amish outfits, but as an adult it's time for Whitney Houston's "Bodyguard" Queen of the Night outfit?
And I remember wishing in Tin Man that the father had been some actor I'd seen before. It just would have made it easier for me somehow.
Ooh. Sweet post number.
Emily - I wish the father had been somebody I'd recognized too. DG and Azkedelia's parents were bland and boring. That can't have been the intent, right?
