Was it anything like my realization that I may like John Sheppard and Rodney McKay so much because they are Booster Gold and Blue Beetle?
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, crap. Now I'm going to have to go read about Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. (JLA, yes?)

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Enjoyed Cameron with creepy counselor dude.
could they be any more anvily that dead girl was sleeping with the counselor. And go Sarah for having the PTSD story prepared.
Also - "I call 9MM"
That would have been funnier if I hadn't seen it two thousand times in the previews.
and I totally called her using the Coltran against another Terminator.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Torchwood and BSG are the only two currently running shows I'm into other than SCC, I think....I'll have to mull and see if I can re-epiphany.
What a waste, otherwise.
Rodney's too smart to be Booster.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
could they be any more anvily that dead girl was sleeping with the counselor.
Yes. Because I missed that detail.

not your mom's socks.
almost caught up because I watched Torchwood 2.02 & 2.03 on demand w/teh cable last night. That was good. I like using my cable products for more than just Bob The Builder marathons.
And "And I thought the end of the world couldn't get any worse" was pretty funny. I'm new to this, and perhaps way off base, but did Tosh look way too office-y, even for her character?

I must have missed those previews or forgot. I probably hadn't had Fox on since the Super Bowl, unless House was new last Tuesday.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I managed to sneak a download between move trips, so I saw Torchwood, but after this I'll probably be back on bbca scheduling.
Anyway.
Torchwood 2.4: How much do I adore Rhys? Let me count the muchness. This was very satisfying in terms of character development with him, and I'm so glad he didn't get retconned again.
Also, of course she didn't fess up about Owen. "The bloke in the coat, are you fucking him?" "Err, no, but I fucked the other one. No, not the one with the tie."
Otherwise I felt that the relationships were all a little bit off. There definitely should be residual Owen/Gwen, and I don't know or care where they're going with the Jack/Gwen stuff. I guess Ianto knows what he's getting.
About Tosh, I am conflicted and irritated and I'm going to have to write the whole big thing about race sooner than later I'm thinking. But not now, because I'm supposed to be finishing making a run. Hopefully be back soonish, after I buy a cable for my phone.
Oh, Ianto, you fucking badass, you. Love.
