Cranky Liz spam!

I got home from work, and somehow it was like INSTA!BAD MOOD! Usually it's the other way around. But I sat down, and suddenly today's stomach cramps turned into hiccups, and then there was the casting call for the new Torchwood characters, and that was like RTD had sat down to create the maximum amount of fail possible. So no good mood for Liz! Maybe I'll feel better after I've had a shower and a glass of wine*.

In the meantime, let's all admire RTD's casting call. The new characters on Torchwood are:

- asshole white guy
- woman of colour who unrequitedly loves asshole white guy
- Roman Polanski





Things which don't seem to upset belly: lighter red wines, smoked salmon and marscapone pizza, strawberry and lime cider, frozen spaghetti bolognese, Arnotts Country Cheese crackers, raspberry and orange juice. Things which do upset belly: EVERYTHING ELSE.

The awful thing is, you might be right. I can definitely see where his various tendencies would come into play here and lead to something truly horrific. Messiah-figures, he does have a Thing for them. Jack, Ten, Owen the King of the Weevils fighting Death.

Yeah, I knew I wasn't going to be watching this season (not after the utter FAIL of Children of Earth), but now I'm REALLY not watching it. *sigh*

"Messiah-figures, he does have a Thing for them. Jack, Ten, Owen the King of the Weevils fighting Death."

And Ten's divine-intervention-style "I forgive you" to the Master and (in offscreen interviews) all that stuff about how we should pity the Master because he's mentally ill, not hate him as evil. If that sort of reasoning comes into play for the pedo it should be...interesting.

"I knew I wasn't going to be watching this season (not after the utter FAIL of Children of Earth), but now I'm REALLY not watching it."

I drifted away from Torchwood after S1 and so anything I know about it now comes from my flist, which, seems frankly like a better setup than actually watching it.

Yeah, that. Ugh, the Tinkerbell!Jesus!Doctor was really, really distasteful for me.

... he WOULDN'T. owww, my head, it hurts. D:

I haven't watched Torchwood regularly at all - S2 I liked better than S1, though. More Ianto, Owen became much less of an asshole and even a sympathetic figure, though I was never quite able to fully like him because HI, RAPIST. Tosh was lovely in it, too. It made me sad for the ladies, though - they didn't get enough awesome, though they did manage to get some good moments in.
