Dude.

Okay, I love Doctor Who. I love Torchwood. I'm also a fan of QaF, UK and US versions alike. I am, and have been for quite some time now, an RTD fangirl. But DUUUUUDE. The words "Smug", "Fucking" and "Bastard" come to mind here.

I mean, it's one thing to kill off Ianto. You can say it's for the story, blah, blah, fine, whatever. I can accept that you killed off Ianto (well, you know, with time). But dude. You do not diss Your Own Fans. That is just NOT COOL. Without fans, you get cancelled. Without fans, you don't get more seasons.

So, you know what, Mr Davies? I AM going to go watch Supernatural. And you know the funny thing about Supernatural? Kripke and Co actually pay ATTENTION to their fans and the feedback they give. They love their fans. They even, on occasion, insert little fan-tributes into the actual episodes ("The Monster at the End of this Book", anyone?). And guess what? Their fanbase gets bigger every single year. So no, Mr Davies, I will not be watching Torchwood series 4, even if it does get renewed. I will be watching the pretty boys on SPN instead, as you so helpfully suggested, because YOUR fanbase just got one person smaller. And not because of you killing of my favourite character or anything whatsoever to do with your writing, but because you obviously don't respect people like me, so that's fine, I don't respect you anymore either.

Also: Fuck You, you sanctimonious, condescending prick.

Okay, minor non-spoiler-y question about Children of Earth: Why does everyone keep referring to Rhiannon and Johnny as being "the Evans family"? It's very clearly shown in both the episode credits and on IMDB that their last name is Davies. What did I miss?

Also, hsmbigbang submission word count = About 800. I need to work harder, faster. Blah.

Edit: Two links that will put a smile on ANYONE's face, mwhahaha! The Torchwood Innuendo Squad Parts ONE and TWO (I'm especially fond of 2)

( SPOILERS (again, but hopefully for the last time... for now) )

So, yeah. That's all I've got.

( Spoilers for Day Four )

Edit: ( Added 30 minutes later )

I eventually found it: http://www.sidereel.com/Torchwood/_watchlinkviewer/2474

Not a whole lot to say today.

( SPOILERS!!! )

This episode was made completely from epic awesome, seriously.

( SPOILER-Y SPOILERS GALORE, cont. )

Apologies for the prolly-excessive length. I had much to say. Oh, and anyone who cares, I watched it here: http://www.zshare.net/video/62358230af54c4b5/

O.M.G.

I need to rewatch it again right now, OMG!

( So, so, so, so VERY full of SPOILER-Y SPOILERS GALORE, srsly )

Being in Canada, and unable to watch it on any of my native TV channels until July 20 (on Space--and yes, I will be re-watching it then), I watched it here: http://www.zshare.net/video/62317348b042ddd8/

And on a completely unrelated note: I got my Harry Potter midnight showing ticket today, w00t!

The past few days have been jam-packed with STUFF. Geez, Louise.

1. My birthday
2. Academic Appeal process
3. Getting into a fight with a tire iron (and losing), thereby injuring (though not too seriously) both my right wrist and my back
4. I have become deeply, deeply obsessed with How I Met Your Mother
5. CANADA DAY, BITCHES!!! W0000T!
6. Saw Public Enemies last night and enjoyed it very much
7. TORCHWOOD 3 STARTS TONIGHT!@@@!!!!!!!

Blah to funerals. The whole idea of them is so depressing.

This one was fine, I suppose. Apparently, some of the older family members are very Catholic, so they pressured Chris's mom into doing the funeral the old-fashioned way and she just couldn't bring herself to argue over it. Which is fine, I don't blame her, she's been through enough this past week. Anyway: The priest didn't really know Chris, but he did spend the first ten minutes actually focused on him and his life, which was nice. Unfortunately, there was no eulogy, so the rest of the funeral was all Jesus-talk, and I zoned out for most of it. The bunch of us getting together that night to get drunk, play with sparklers and glow sticks, and share Chris-stories was much, much more spiritually satisfying, we've all agreed.

Now, in an attempt to move onto a more cheerful subject and not drag the rest of you down into depression with me... I'm just wondering if anyone knows the official dates that Children of Earth will be playing on yet? Wikipedia is saying "the week of July 4-10", but I don't know if that's trustworthy or not. Anyone?

Also, I come bearing gifts:

OMG, I can't believe I forgot to post this earlier. The trailer for the Torchwood 3/miniseries was released yesterday. Anyone who wasn't fortunate enough to see it yet, behold!


Notes: Did everyone catch the Janto kiss? Wheeee!
