a year behind Andy Dick, whom he was best friends with
Boggles
Boggle indeed.
I've read that Andy Dick was also the homecoming king in his senior year in High School.
Could AD's general asshattery be a façade?

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Could AD's general asshattery be a façade?
Not really, no. He was a nice enough kid in high school (we were in an acting class together the summer between junior and senior year), but I could see how Hollywood, drugs, and just sheer asshattery could take over. He was a class clown/theater geek combo with the potential of letting the ego take over even back then. And you probably read about his homecoming king campaign from when I posted it (he won with the poster slogan "Don't vote for a jock--vote for A. Dick!").

Could AD's general asshattery be a façade?
No.
So did the editors slice up the ends of shots, did they speed up the BBC broadcast, am I just drunk, or any/all to make TW 2.1 fit into US broadcast times?
(And don't get me started with what they did at the end of The Runaway Bride to fit into an hour. Fuming, I was.)
I'm trying to get friends into the show by describing it as "Imagine Angel if they were all horny bisexuals." (Buffista respose: "Imagine?")

Are we supposed to see Tosh & Owen getting set up, with all the "nobody I can relate to" conversation? Or were they just commiserating?
Tosh did have a serious crush on Owen for most of S1 and previously.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Owen could do much much worse. Tosh could do much much better....

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I thought Tosh and Owen had slept together once (prior to sesason 1) and Owen's been a "been-there-done-her" weasel ever since. I don't know where I got that impression - maybe it was the mind-reading episode?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't know where I got that impression - maybe it was the mind-reading episode?
In "Countrycide", when they all talk about who they kissed last, Tosh says it was Owen for her, after the Christmas party. I don't think it went any farther than that, and I don't think Owen even remembered.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Tosh did have a serious crush on Owen for most of S1 and previously.
Yeah, it's that dynamic that I'm worrying about. That scene in Countrycide and a couple of others are one of my triggers. I have a lot of triggers.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
So did the editors slice up the ends of shots, did they speed up the BBC broadcast, am I just drunk, or any/all to make TW 2.1 fit into US broadcast times?
It's weird how it works this year. The BBC are producing a 'child friendly' version of Torchwood this year for it's CBBC audience (Childrens BBC). I think what's happening is those heavily edited versions are going to BBC America, for additional cutting to fit in the timeslot. Unless they're taking the main version and recutting that. Either way, if you can download it, do.

Compassionately intolerant
Owen's been a "been-there-done-her" weasel
I'm only through the first 5 disks of season one and I'm getting the impression that Owen, much as I love him, is kinda soulless with the flitting from skirt to skirt.
Another thing that is bugging me is Jack's seeming inability to hold onto a conviction. He says things about rules being rules and then breaks them. He yells Nooooo!! to something and then immediately gives in. I adore the character and Barrowman, but yesh. He's proving to have less of a spine than someone in his position might.
Despite all that though, I'm well and truly addicted.
