For anybody here from
torch_wood: Hi, I'm Lydia. I spend most of my time bouncing between American states that start with 'M' and I've been watching some manifestation of science fiction since I was in diapers. While my original fandom-love, embarrassingly enough, has nothing to do with science fiction, it does have sparkle and often five people of wavering sexualities, so don't let the rest of the journal daunt you. I'm a long winded media studies/ cognitive science student on break this semester who has been trying to cut down on the things I have to say when I do these 10 things reviews, honest! There will probably be a lot of you that go TL;DR, but meh. Gotta think of something to keep the brain going until late January.
My father, who is almost 60, is officially in love with Torchwood. We're both so addicted to it's camp and hilarity that we started looking forward emphatically to Sunday nights, and sit down, after rather long talks about what's happening at work and workouts and family and all, to sit down and watch the innuendo squad. AND LOVE IT.
I know a lot of you, f-list, have gotten bitten by the Supernatural bug, and I can easily see why, but I'm sorry, in this household it's so obviously Torchwood, it's not even funny anymore. It's probably because we started getting into it the weekend it came out, he kept asking me whether or not I had it already, and I think if we had been watching supernatural beforehand, we would be very emphatically in that, now. The Brits just got to us first.
Now if we could only nudge my mother into the fun.
( 10 things about Torchwood 01x06- Countryside and why we loved it. Long winded, with multiple sub-points worth of psuedo-lectual wank, and Spoilers, dur. ) And next week seems like the cure to the whole FS/LS syndrome: It needed more lesbians, and we're getting them next week. Let's just hope it's not a Battlestar Galactica six rehash, and that tosh doesn't freeze up the way she and Gwen always seem to do in every episode. Ew. No.
And now that I've gone through three extra cups of tea burning up analytic brain cells on this episode, I'm gonna go, write some more of my genderswitch, do my Ashtanga and get the fuck to bed. Bah, Three Fourty AM again. Pshaw, night.
