Only managed one episode of Buffy today which was the aforementioned Bad Eggs as Michelle's friend came round with the baby. Sadly my bezzie mate and his sister were at school.
Forgot to mention that Willow actually squeeed in 'Ted' when he was charming her with computer talk. I loved that.
Started on Stargate. I've watched the movie and episode 1 of s1 and I have to say that so far I am seriously underwhelmed. I'll keep going for a while though as we all know these things sometimes grab you after a few more episodes.
On to CoE. Day 1 went down a treat. MUCH better than DW was the verdict. I really have to think carefully about which eps to show her now. She didn't like TGitF or FoP when she saw them with Cal. I'm going to show her TAoG and Doomsday as you know and after tonight I thought maybe Blink and Midnight.
Michelle is quite eager to find out what is going on with the kids in CoE. I gave her a little background about Jack - how we met him, what happened with Rose and about how Torchwood came about. I also told her about Owen and Tosh and the hub.
She was surprised and pleased by Jack and Ianto's relationship, but afterwards I explained why they were a little askew in their feelings - ie Jack has had to say so many goodbyes over the years, but for Ianto it's his first relationship with a man and he's seeking reassurance. I think that covered it for now - she'll see for herself Jack's pain as we go on.
She was shocked in all the right places - the seemingly friendly doc shooting Jack - the kids unearthly screams - and the destroyal of the hub - not to mention Jack himself at the end. I am very pleased with her reaction.
Her g/f didn't want to watch, but even she got slightly caught up in it and said it was ok (believe me that is excellent coming from her - all she watches is football, football and more football).
As for me - well, I think this rewatch is perfectly timed. Because we talk about it so much I had forgotten what an intense experience it is. I'd forgotten that the action starts right from the very first moment with the children stopping even as we are being introduced to the characters. Seeing Stephen so early on knowing what befalls hiim sent a tingle of dread down my spine.
The closeness of the team and the looks between Ianto and Jack - Ianto's family - just love them - Frobisher and Lois and the creepy Dekker all played just perfectly. What struck me the most though was Jack's rejection by his daughter. That bit hadn't really affected me the first time round, but I had to swallow hard tonight. This time it's not Jack knowing he will suffer loss after loss - he wants a relationship with them, but she can't let him in because of who / how he is.
All in all a spectacular episode and yet like Muttley says with hindsight (or foresight to the end of this week) it seems almost lighthearted.
*Thud*
*Reminds self to breathe*
And finally Graham Norton was good tonight and DT was utterly brilliant.
To Dawn: What was that you were saying? His eyes? Nose? Hmmmm can't remember.
Meant to say, persevere with Stargate - the film is not great at all IMO but the programme is FAB!!!
i am a fan of the scruffier the better in this case

Number 8 in that series of pictures quite scares me... :eek:
To be honest, it all looks very scary doesn't it. The fact that they are humans or were does it for me!!! :eek:
yes well, real men have more important things to worry about when being attacked by zombies than their hair, just saying...
Yes, definitely agree!
