this is so sad.

I realized, on my drive to pick up my roommates, that I am ridiculously excited about the return of Primeval. LIKE FOR SERIOUS. Alexander Siddig is joining the team. I do not know if I can handle that sort of awesome.

This show, though. It's so bad. and yet. and yet.

Sadly, I'm not interested in the return of Torchwood. I wanted a team of Lois, Gwen, Johnson and possibly Alice. Instead, we're getting Owen 2.0, Tosh 2.0 and a pedophile. That's going to be so thrilling. (I will probably end up watching it, but. Meh.)

Primeval, otoh, oh, god. I'm going to have to actually download it. *is so so sad*

btw, neither is something any of you would be interested in, so please do not assume this blathering is a rec of any sort.

I'll be reporting on whether it's fail or not (I expect fail, sadly).

sigh. Torchwood. I like the show, but I really think they should have just ended it at coe if Rusty didn't have anything new to do with it.

I quite liked the first season of Primeval, and since my understanding is that it just gets more crackaliciously awesome, I do really want to catch up on it someday. The fact that I follow someone who live-Tweets it in a fit of infectious squee that reaches effortlessly from the UK every week doesn't help hurt.

It is pretty cracktastic.

I'm assuming, since it's Primeval, I can skip all the bits I haven't watched, just to see eps with Alexander Siddig in them. Because, dammit, I can't resist. (Daaamn, I was just stabbed with a strong desire to watch early eps with Claudia, though.)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yup. The show itself occasionally skips all of the important Explanation bits to bring in new characters.

Alexander Siddig is going to be on Primeval? That makes me really wish I liked that show. But I've never been able to finish a single episode. Sad.

You can always catch clips on youtube, or do what I do with Sanctuary: fast-forward any scene he isn't in.

I, um, might have bought the first two seasons of Primeval when I was in England. And I might be induced to watch it to see Alexander Siddig.

maybe.

Ahem.

*laughs* =D

I think I saw it on sale once, and was very tempted to buy it. *checks Amazon*

Wow. Those are actually reasonable prices. o.O

*resists urge, for the moment*

Alexander Siddig on Primeval? Seriously?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

According to Wikipedia, he's now half-owner of the ARC or something, and possibly is the lead of the new team. idk. I expect awful, yet awesomeness.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I totally watch it for them, now. I liked some of the others (but Nick and Stephen always got up my nose, so, er, yes).

[bella-farfalla.livejournal.com]

Have you read abou the other new characters? Because I need me some Emily/Helen, like, NOW.

Also I did not know Torchwood was coming back! I must investigate this.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I haven't, sadly. I only know that Siddig is going to be around (via wiki). And someone named Jess, apparently. (and some new military dude, hahah)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

YES I KNOW. And Sarah, whom I shall miss, though I'm ok with the actress being all "I HAVE A KID TO RAISE GO AWAY NOW" about it.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

I think those Torchwood castings are a fake to throw us off.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Rusty does seem to be the fandom's biggest troll. =D

(if they are fake, I will be pleased)
