a vintage year for scoundrels

The next Home Team round is up! The very first matchup is Buffy vs Martha. D: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE? They are two of my favourite characters in anything ever. (I was going to say "two favourite female characters" but the qualification is unnecessary.) And then! Zoe vs Sarah Connor! And River vs Elizabeth Bennet, how do you begin to compare those two? M vs Tosh is almost a relief by comparison. DECISIONS. Probably it is a good thing that I don't know how to change my vote, because at least once I have made a decision I will have to stick with it.

Here is a Torchwood reaction post! It be full o' spoilers for all the episodes.

( HERE ARE THE SPOILERS )

As with yesterday's Torchwood I enjoyed Day Two but with a few reservations.

I only have two Torchwood icons. Hopefully I will not have anything to say about tomorrow's episode or I might need a third. Anyway, as with yesterday's episode I enjoyed Day Two but with a few reservations.

( spoilers )

The BBC have kindly put Torchwood on BBC1, a channel I can actually get, so I watched it As It Happened.

( Torchtastic spoilers )

- This was emailed round at work and it's too fab not to share: gorgeous pictures of libraries. DO WANT, especially the Rijkmuseum Library in Amsterdam. I could totally learn Dutch and move there, right? Right?

- Someone posted this on spooky_doings; BBC Autumn preview trailer (UK only, I believe, sorry). Lots of goodness: Spooks itself (HARRY! Also a couple of casting spoilers, both of which I knew, one that is yaysness and one that I'm reserving judgement on ); Merlin, the Beeb's new Arthurian drama thing - it looks to be glossy and ridiculous and I plan to watch it all; Little Dorrit (FREEMA!), of course they had to pick one of the Dickenseseses that I haven't read yet, but oh well; Tess of the d'Urbervilles which is looking suitably melodramatic (I hope they have kept the bit where the fire leaps up suddenly and then it fades away and there is Alec standing on the other side, lol subtle, that are my favourite bit); Survivors (MOAR FREEMA), it's hard to tell from just that little bit but it looks cool; Apparitions, the new series by Joe Aherne, who created Ultraviolet (the telly series); plus lots of things wot I am rather less interested in.

- I thought I didn't have any Torchwood squee left, but I heard the trailer for the radio thingummy last night and my brain went YAY!!1!!1 so apparently I do, hurrah.

- Inspired by SFX's Sarah Connor Chronicles article I have boughteded the first season offa ebay so can finally see the last five episodes (the (late lamented) digibox got me to episode 4 before going, "nah, bored of this channel now, go and watch Dave instead"). Feel I have successfully defied THE MAN as I have not bought it new which would have meant tacitly accepting that it's a-ok to release stuff in the UK minus all the extras the US release has, oh yes, and for twice the price too. This happens a lot and it is very irritating, quite often it stops me buying things that I would otherwise have got. Bah. End rant.

- Happy birthday, darthcorrie!
