Who Soon

[meddow]

I haven’t watched Torchwood yet (though already spoiled, I read about it last week – I swear I wasn’t even looking for spoilers, I really did just stumble upon them this time). I was putting it off, and then ended up watching When Harry Met Sally with the flatmates (DVD player has crapped out, so whenever we want to watch something these days we have to crowd around my laptop).

It’s kind of a pain, I know it’s going to be a downer, so I’m reluctant to watch it and since even though I do like it more now than I once did, I’m still just not that into Torchwood and usually watch it out of some kind of obligation to the mother-show, I don’t have that drive to watch it as soon as possible that I have with Doctor Who.

Eh. I’ll get around to watching it eventually.

Anyway, new Doctor Who soon. I have it all planed out and should all thing go to plan there shall be a mini marathon happening in my flat, of The Runaway Bride followed by Voyage of the Damned and then onto Partners in Crime. Thankfully, I have converted all the flatmates to Doctor Who, even though I remain the only one who likes Donna (or Angry Red-Head as one of my flatmates has dubbed her). I may be the only one watching The Runaway Bride.

Heh, that mini marathon sounds great.

I kind of read the Torchwood finale spoilers a few weeks ago, but ignored them because I thought they sucked and they annoyed me too much to think about, but turns out they were true. But yea, I was kind of reluctant to watch for that reason... because I kind of knew I wouldn't like the outcome - and I *am* a fan of the show. Oh well. You'll see it eventually anyhow.

I think it kind of sucks, because I was starting to really like Owen, and of all the characters, I always liked Tosh the most. And I know, even though I'm not a fan, I'll probably get rather upset.

On the other hand, their rumored replacements on the show are two characters I adore, so at least there is that consolation (you've heard of that rumour, haven't you?).

Martha and Mickey, right? I think I heard that somewhere? That would be okay, I suppose, but I can't think about it yet. I think I'm just annoyed because in this season the Torchwood gang were actually working and being a TEAM which they weren't doing in S1.... so now they finally get their shit together, it falls apart and bah. I hate losing major characters in fandom.

Yep. I'm so stoked we're getting Mickey back. But yes, I agree with the bitterness about the shit getting together just in time for the characters to die - seems like such a waste.

Precisely. It seems like all that effort was put in only to pick it to pieces to make a dramatic "finale". I would far rather keep my team together, thanks very much. Especially considering I stuck through so much crap that was in S1, and then was happy when I got rewarded in S2, only to have it sucked away again. Seriously, if Who dares to play this game with me, then there will be a very angry fangirl (or no doubt, the plural thereof)
