Torchwood 3

Well, what a suprise. Capt Jack's a bad guy. Why is everyone suprised?

Anyway, more corridors and posturing. Still good to see the team back together and thieving as well. Quite fun.

A friend suggested that the 456 are Zarbi with a cold. I thought Zarbi with Swine Flu.

##Yesss## Splash of Mucus. Maybe melted children are Zarbi linctus?

Give us 10% or you're all dead? If you can do that, why not just take 10%? Why chat about it?

Torchwood 2

Well, another good episode - more of a corridor story than advancing too much but some good 'feeehulings' stuff with the families.

And Jack's grandchild. Just the one?

And they're not doing too much bitching at each other.

And Jack had his cock out - finally. I get the impression that Mr Barrowman has been glued into his outfit in order to prevent repeated nudity. He looked like he was having fun anyway.

And. Sloooooowest escape ever!

Children of Earth

Well that was pretty impressive. Nicely written with good characterisation and great plot twists and turns.

Great points.

The Children - bloody scary.
Torchwood - finally seem to be pulled together and coherent. And positive. Hearing Gwen talking about the positives of working for Torchwood was great. Now I want to see it!
The civil service elete and MPs out for themselves and watching their own backs - very topical!
Clement - an interesting damaged character - hopefully more to come.
Dr Rupesh Patanjali - shame! Pretty!
A bomb in Capt Jack! And Torchwood in pieces!
Baby Gwen! Ahhhh!

And triple deadlock can't keep out teenagers on a council estate. It was always a rubbish plot device and seeing people mooning at it from the Torchwood truck was great!

I'm horrified. London is no more having been destroyed by G20 protesters! This picture is where Lloyds used to be! According to the Evening Standard anyway. And remember, those Catholic-Muslim-Lesbian-Asylum Seeking Immigrant-Single Mums - they'll be coming for you next!

Honestly, what is the problem with the media? It's not just the Standard. They're all making the news now rather than reporting it. It's been there for a long time but when you live in London and you see what happens you do end up wondering if there's another London somewhere in the UK that no one has told you about!

Anarchy in the UK... again.

I'm panicking! The media have told me to. I'm also completely unable to cope. Apparently. And I live in Zone 1 so have barricaded the doors and booby trapped the lift and the staircase. Just for self-defence. Those pesky protesters wanting to kill me with their peaceful protests!

I hope I live through the night and they don't get a cossack to bomb me!

Exposure

Facebook is something that has made me wince in places. Most of the time it's a useful tool. You're able to communicate what you need and make easy linkages with friends. Sometimes it's more exposing. I've found people often expressing themselves in writing all to hastily to be wise. I've seen friends pop in and out of their relationships with indecent haste and, in many ways like blogging, they've said some pretty revealing things.

This is good, even though my repressed British spirit does say that it's unsettled.

Often it's about a lack of confidence and self-worth. Sometimes I worry that I'm the most confident person I know and whether that makes me less talented, capable, even insightful than people I recognise as being good and talented people who don't bloody realise it. How oxymoronic is that!

I honestly think that the only thing holding back the universe is a voice in our head going "No one likes you! You're no good at that! Don't try it you'll waste your time! Envy! Jealousy!"

Fight it people. You're worth more than you think. In most cases a lot more!
