Today's Torchwood Thought

Watching three episodes of Torchwood in a row will give you TW-on-the-brain dreams, all night.

*blink* Ow.

Alas, I think only one of them can be mined for story-fodder¹. The rest of 'em were too weird and/or silly. Although if I can possibly work in the notion of Jack Harkness with a terrible French accent, I'll cheerfully do so.

Given my hellish schedule at work, I don't think I'll have time to re-review eps before the weekend, although one never knows...

SJSA - Initial Reaction

The production values for kids' shows have gone way up since I was a we'en, haven't they?

Even for all its melodrama and cute widdle tentacled monsters, I'll take the first eps of The Sarah Jane Adventures over the fourth eps of Torchwood, any day.

Particular kudos to whoever cast the gal playing Maria - a young actor who isn't horribly precocious, twee or generally annoying. What a relief.

(and, yes, I squee'd at all the little references and nods - although I, for one, could have skipped some of the sillier tech)
