Ah, fannish ennui, how I've missed you...

[tencrush]

Apart from various and assorted personal happenings keeping me off the internets, there's other stuff, too. I'm not feeling the love no more. This, I'm sure, will pass eventually. (And when I say "not feeling the love," what I actually mean is it seems that people are spitting bile at each other again. Maybe I'm having perceptual difficulties.)

I've seen a few people bidding their goodbyes to Torchwood fandom recently and it saddens me in a way, but it does feel like to many people there's a chapter that's ended for good. That's not down to Ianto, specifically, I think there's a general feeling going around that this show died in July and it's not coming back. Incidentally, I really think we'd have heard about renewal by now, dudes. I am somewhat relieved that we haven't, I have no interest in a continuation of Torchwood, I really do think the story's been told and I wouldn't have watched it. As things have settled down I've come to realise that that's not simply because I find Barrowman and Myles to be two of the most tedious people on television, but also simply because I really don't think there's any story left to tell. I don't think I'm the only one.

Anyway, I think I might perform a friendslist cull in a week or two. I've connected with a lot of people through TW, but some our interests seem to be diversifying, guys. Big time. Having said that, I find a lot of your interests interesting. Unless they involve that show with the Wincest, I just don't care about that show in any way, shape or form. I'll be doing some picspams soon (LOL, I say that every week, and it never happens! That's because I'm lazy and easily distracted by life.) and in the meantime I'll just stick with The Big Bang Theory and Glee, two shows that will never fuck me in the arse in quite the way that Torchwood managed to. They make me feel pleasant and safe, and that makes a refreshing change.

I just saw Barrowman playing a banjo and shouting about pigs on CBBC. I have no desire to work out what the hell I was watching, but it was unpleasant.

I'm expecting a fourth season (although, what's the point now??) and I'm dreading it. They HAD a lot of story potential, but tossed it all for this "wonderful" and "brilliant" and "epic" mini-series. And apparently they don't need a fanbase to have millions tuning in. So, yeah, couldn't care less if I ever see it continued with Jack, Gwen, Rhys, and the mini Cooper-Williams with comic relief by Andy.

I heart Sheldon, too. What does Penny see in Leonard?? I mean, really... ;)

I'm trying to get into Glee. I've been recording it. It's not must-see, but it is amusing what I've seen so far.

(Just back from a week in the UK and somehow I managed to dodge the Barrowman-on-tele-24/7 bullet!)

I was thinking something similar. At the end of series 2 they had the potential to go on possibly for several full length series (actors willing) but that's largely been destroyed by CoE. It's like you're going along a one way street and you miss the turning and there's no way to go back.

Shouldn't that be Gwen, Rhys, and the mini Cooper-Williams with comic relief by Andy. Oh yeah and Jack. :)

I don't think there's any point in continuing. It's like trying to stay on a ship that is sinking. If it does continue, I don't understand where they story can go. Tosh and Owen are dead, Ianto is dead, Jack is who knows where (we don't even know what mental state he is in). As for Gwen she'll have her baby and move on eventually. There's no where to go anymore. They could have done something more; but RTD rather of had an nihilistic, the evil aliens are taking over the world for a billionth time movie of the week.
