Gave up on Heroes and Torchwood. Heroes just didn't wind my watch - Though I liked the basic premise and the time travel guy & mimic guy. Torchwood Lost me on the "possessed by an alien sex destroy" episode. It seemed to be more titillation, less story. It's kind of a shame.. it could've been a "Hellboy" type show.

Finally saw the 2006 Xmas Who special, and I enjoyed the car chase, but I'm not too crazy about the new companion. Just a bit too bitchy for me... plus the wink/nod Rose similarities going over the other folks around. Same goes for Martha Jones.

Ever since we got the DVR, Rockford Files, Mythbusters and Black Books have been the bigger shows.

Mostly a workday today... Bhk doing law stuff, and me chewing on a lead or two. I got the qualification for unemployment in the mail today, so her work and that should help with assorted monies needed while I seek more steady gain. Tomorrow, I think we'll start loading stuff into the brown house from the blue one. I helped Larry out at the brown place a bit - treated the water heater, pressure cleaned the deck, and put down a game plan for the roof grout & replacing the three windows that are looking like they need it.

It can be fun being a grown-up sometimes! I do regret taking down the toy train around the tree... I suspect the Xmas tree will be mulch sometime in the next three days.

Heroes I am enjoying a lot more than Lost. It is one of those shows though that has me wondering how they can try and fill 7 seasons.

As for Torchwood... give it more than the first two episodes. The sex mist monster is a bit adult but the rest of the series is pretty tops. It gets better the further in it goes.
If nothing else, download the last two episodes (12 & 13) and watch those. Theres stuff there that will come back in Doctor Who season 3.

hooray for mike post.. the great unsung hero of tv!

Next season moves to BBC2 so it will get some more budget as well.

i gave up on torchwood myself. it has little substance and the acting is rather poor. admittedly, the last 3 i saw were somewhat interesting.. just not enough. the last i saw was the town full of cannibals.

eryx wants me to give it one more shot, so I'll try 3 more eps. I hope it's gotten better since the poopy ones!

i'm trying to fig if i saw the one you were talking about. did u see the one w/faeries or the cyber(wo)man? they weren't too bad just not enough to make me stay interested.

admittedly, the cybermen are my favorite who villains after The Master, and I'm not happy with how they "updated" them for dr. who. i haven't seen any w/new travelling companion, but i didn't like the 1 min i saw of her in the last episode of the season. she seemed very annoying.

the cyber woman and the "sex mist" episodes didn't do much for me at all. but I missed the fairies one.

oh yeah! the sex mist. that was just.. it didn't seem to fit. if it weren't a spinoff of dr. who i may have liked it but i doubt it. it should have been an episode of hex.

the fairies was interesting, but to be honest the only thing i remember is that the senior that was in it, knew jack when she was younger. the mystery over his age has worn thin.
