Torchwood and Supernatural

I sure have been watching a lot of TV lately. 2nd season of the new Dr. Who, 1st season Torchwood, and a bit of 1st season Farscape on DVD, and new episodes of Lost and Supernatural. The ones I'm the most excited about right now are probably Torchwood because of all the same-sex kissing and Supernatural because of the look on Dean's face when he lies. (OMG Dean.) Both of these shows are often gorier than I would like, but…well, most of the time when there's something I don't want to see I just look at my knitting. :)

Another problem is trying to watch new episodes of SPN. The only TV in our apartment is the very small one in my roommate's bedroom that doesn't get cable. Across town, my parents have a cable package with hundreds of channels and DVR, but it doesn't include the CW. What's with that? (At least they do get BBC America.) New SPN episodes air Thursday nights but they don't become available on cwtv.com until the following Tuesday, and by that time the fandom is pretty much done discussing, so I feel all disconnected. Which is probably fine, since I don't know how much I can ever connect with that fandom when I'm not interested in the two of them having sex with each other. Still, I would like to see those new episodes when they are really new!

I love Torchwood for the frank treatment of sexuality of all kinds, and for the relationships amongst the characters, that change and develop over time, just like they would in real life.

Too bad about your not being able to get SPN. I love it, but I don't get into the Wincest, so I feel a little out of touch with some of the other fans, but we can babble together about how great the episodes are, and what we love about the characters.

Well, at least I do get to see the Supernatural episodes within the week. I watched last week's last night, and it wasn't as awesome as some of the other recent eps but I still enjoyed it a lot. I still felt a little disconnected from the fandom even last spring when I was watching new episodes and following the fic newsletter and reading people's flail-y posts, so maybe it's not meant to be. Darn good show though!
