Hold On! .....I Am!!!
Okay. The end of season 2 of Torchwood. The beginning of season 4 of Doctor Who.
First off, Torchwood. Oh you bastards. I was so afraid something bad was going to happen in this last episode. I even had a bad dream about it one night (yes thats messed up, I know it). Anyway, at least Ianto lived. But Toshiko! How could they do that!?? I really can't say I minded Owen dying as much. I mean, he was already dead for one thing. Also he was not that great, even though they tried to redeem him throughout this season. Toshiko however was awesome-est of awesome. I would have totally accepted killing Gwen and keeping Tosh. It served no purpose whatsoever to kill Tosh except to be miserable and heartbreaking! And as much as I love Jack and Ianto, a show with those two and Gwen does not sound very entertaining to me. (Although I did hear a rumor about brining Martha and Mickey from Dr Who onto TW possibly). They still haven't confirmed a third season. And part of me sort of feels like I almost wouldn't mind if they didn't make a third season. It's going to be ridiculous when they've killed 2 out of 5 main characters (one of which can never die). And if the rumor that they're going to try to tone things down and make it more kid friendly is also true, then I am also not very interested. Why does everything have to be kid friendly? I mean, they already have Doctor Who for that! I don't want to see little cute aliens made of fat, or big green farting aliens on Torchwood. I prefer sex gas aliens and cannibalistic hicks. Obviously time will only tell what happens to Torchwood. I felt the show has been always rather uneven. A few good episodes, a few bad episodes, one or two really good/bad ones. All sprinkled with a healthy dose of plot holes and pretty much no internal logic. But obviously still I watched and enjoyed what I could! So to sum up....they killed Toshiko and therefore they suck.
And now onto the new episode of Doctor Who. A completely different mood altogether from TW. It was goofy and funny. Part of me found the adipose fat alien babies slightly scary in a cute sort of creepy way. I was slightly looking forward to Donna, and I'm glad for what they've done with her already. She looks to be very entertaining. Not as much to say about this as it was just starting out the season with Donna and the Doctor. Oh and Rose at the end. Well, its impossible to really speculate or anything based on those 5 seconds. Hopefully they won't make her evil or some shit like that. Hopefully its just angsty and sad instead. :)
In real life, Travis started back to work with me, and they are retraining him so we have to get to work early. That is sort of nice--having a reason to get up early. So I had more free time after work (it was sorta weird) And I went for a little walk even. Woot. I'm all active and shit ;) And now I am just trying to figure out if I want to read or play the Sims. I'll probably try to do both and end up staying up late and being tired tomorrow again. Oh well. Getting into work early is a whole different vibe for me, and it felt like the day went faster. Although that was probably more a result of having Travis there, and therefore actually leaving my desk more than once or twice a day! And for some reason I am slightly stressed out right now. I don't know why in particular. I get that on occasion. I just feel very stressed out, anxious or worried. And I don't know why or how to stop it.
Dammit, why'd I have to drink all my beer last night?
