Torchwood.

[maphdet]

ok i'll keep that in mind, haven't watched new Futuramas in ages, so I guess I'm already a few seasons behind

(btw just checking you are aware that there's been a new run of 7 Dr Who eps from 23 april to 4th june right? they're much better than the previous run. also, scheduled to continue in September with an ep called Let's kill Hitler )

Wait new run??

You mean after the run that told us who River was?
Did I really miss new episodes???
Shit.

[Triple Zero]

no that's the one. last one was fourth of juNe, over a month ago.

Or, you know, you could kill your television.

Or, you know, you could kill your television.

Already did.  Mine's nothing more than a display for the DVD player.

[Triple Zero]

Same. Except for the laptop, cause I don't have a DVD player.

[Bruno]

I've heard of TV. Isn't that something like an internet except it only goes one way?

[Triple Zero]

No you can shout at it, too.

Blasphemy.  You aren't a Discordian if you don't watch this shit.

[LMNO]

If you don't TiVo The Real World, WAYSA?

You cannot afford.

Well this season of Torchwood is really going nowhere, slow

I watched last week's episode yesterday and ... basically they spent 50 minutes dragging out the story to reveal that, indeed, these "overflow camps" are not for treating the sick, but disposing of them. Something everybody already knew just by their name when they were introduced the episode before that. And now, it might have been something if they were disposed of because the ALIENS are EATING THEM or whatever but no they burn them "alive". WHERE ARE THE FUCKING ALIENS??? I'm just getting a rotating triangle and a blue-eyed dude telling the red-haired PR woman that she's been "noticed".

That's all that happened, introduction of blue-eyed man and "OMG they burn the sick in the overflow camp".

Speaking of rotating triangles, they sure cut on the special FX compared to previous Torchwood series, didn't they? Even the Torchwood "tech" looks crappy, which is explained away by them having to operate from shitty hotel rooms now. Where's the fucking underground base? And the dimensional time space rift? AND THE FUCKING ALIENS

GIMME ALIENS

I haven't watched the new one (that aired yesterday) yet, let's hope they get on with the story, or something.

Good thing the new Doctor Who is scheduled for august 27th (only two more weeks!) and is titled LET'S KILL HITLER.

I know what you mean. I thought Mr. Davies was making a 10 hour movie, be he seems to be pacing it for a 30 hour movie.

I haven't seen the latest episode of Torchwood myself, but from the reviews it appears that nothing has happened yet.

Maybe I should wait for the series to finish, and then watch them all in one go...

[Cain]

It's because Torchwood is utter crap, and always has been.

[El Sjaako]

It's because Torchwood is utter crap, and always has been.

But at least it used to be fast-paced, entertaining crap.

IMO this one was a bit better than last week. Stuff happened and Gwen had a few moments of awesome. I also identified a big part of the problem: it's the two new American (ex) CIA people. The black guy likes himself too much (check him talking long rants of revenge into his digital camera while he should be STFUing and getting that footage out of there) and the blonde woman is just too clueless/helpless (this episode, someone asks her "Just how blonde are you?!" )

Also check out the hilariously low-budget China scene in the beginning (or was it Japan, I forgot. I think it must have been China because it had a dark alley with neon signs and paper lanterns, that's cheapo TV code for China, right?)
