remember, you promised me

1. hurrah! New Torchwood!

2. Listening to Blake's 7 at work is like... It is something fabulous and spectacular, even if the show is a bit fail (I managed to make it through Moloch, but Harvest of Kairos was a no-go, and when I was wee, I knew both of those were SUCKY SUCKY SUCKY).

3. I can't decide if it's in the delivery, or if it's the words themselves that give B7 such snappy dialog.
"We've talked about it and discovered we care what happens to you."
"We're as surprised about it as you are."
"Not to mention, embarrassed."

(which, ok, that three lines totally encapsulates season three, and is Dayna, Cally and Vila ribbing Avon, which is hilarious all on its own)

4. In non-Blake's 7 news, I should get round to writing up my thoughts on the Fringe season finale. I think there was another finale in there I should write about, too (I know Castle is covered). And possibly, some bits on newskool and Daria.

5. Also, every so often, I remember that SERVALAN KILLED AN ENTIRE PLANET SO SHE COULD MAKE CLONE BABIES OF HERSELF. And then I'm like, TOP THAT, SCORPY. With some sticking my tongue out and stuff. (also: "But I fear scrupulous fairness is one of my small, personal obsessions." SERIOUSLY?)

6. Leverage is new in, like, thirteen days. I AM SO STOKED. I may have mainlined season two over the weekend.

1. I'm a little hesistant but mostly excited. Ultimately, if there's another chance for Gwen badassery, I'm going to watch (even if it means putting up with Harkness) :)

4. Same re: the Fringe finale

6. YAY!

Leverage *gleeeeee*! I think that is a completely appropriate way to spend a weekend, yes.

The news about Torchwood (more or less) pleases me. I plan to keep my expectations low so that I'm not disappointed, but either way, I'm pretty sure to be entertained. And I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get a Lois Habibba. :)

Yay, Leverage!!!! \o/

It's the interaction of the plainest possible words with the understated delivery, I think. And maybe more than that, the background: these few small human amenities they can manage - sometimes - for each other, and the reality of their situation, which is beyond dire on a grand scale. Each moment of warmth is set off against that backdrop.
