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!

Yeah, it's very disturbing that so many people buy into that but also makes me think, damn, lazy and immoral writers who think it's okay to repeat it just because it made for a tense dramatic situation on some other show. D:
But anyway! Tosh! Whoo!! I had been hoping for some more development for her character since they seemed to be do so little with her up till then, and then that turned out to be part of what it was about, like here let's see the anguish of the character that people don't pay enough attention to. It worked great! (And, as sometimes happens, I identified maybe a little too much!) It was a little bit like what they'd done with Ianto a couple episodes before, where he actually comes out and says that stuff about how they only think of themselves and never wonder about him and his life etc. Then I loved that little bit in this one where Tosh could hear him thinking about how it was never going to stop hurting this much. Omg Ianto!
