The Torchwood trailer had me going to a Village of the Damned place. Big Time.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Made me think of Childhood's End, but creepy.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Oh, that's cool (and rather terrifying). I'm in such Doctor Who withdrawal this year, what with the lack of a proper season, that Torchwood's going to be awesome. I've missed the Welsh accents. Also, was that a moment of Captain Jack enjoying a snog? Gotta love that.

'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"
Watched the SyFy (ack! the name, it burns!) episode of Primeval which once again proves that this is the most incompetent team of experts ever, who get perfectly nice security guards killed and eaten without batting an eyelash AND go running off leaving unconscious team members lying on the floor when there are an unknown number of large and hungry predators on the loose.
They also got the baby raptor eaten, which at least reduced the number of predators they had to worry about, but still....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, scary Torchwood trailer! But I think that whole franchise it at its best when it's creepy.
I've been watching the reruns and enjoying them. I think I missed some in the season that's airing now, so it'll be good to catch up on those.

So true. 'The Empty Child' is in the very best hide-behind-the-sofa Doctor Who tradition, and I still can't watch 'Blink' without repeatedly spilling whatever I'm drinking.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
True! Still afraid of statuary!

And still wanting a weeping angel statue for my garden.
...no one would be able to take their eyes off it.

Art Crawl!!!
Ha! That would rock.
(There was a scene in a cemetary in, I think, True Blood, where there was an angel statue. I wanted to warn them. )

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Every time I go to a garden place, I look for weeping angel statues. The closest I have yet to find is a weeping cherub, which just didn't have the same degree of gravitas.
