Stuffs...

• THAT SPOILER, DUDES. I told you WEEKS ago that Gareth's a big fat liar and we'd see him in Who soon. Watch this space, it's fucking true, I tells ya.


• Oh, and you know there was an interview with Marsters a while back which was ostensibly about Whedon and the Spike movie and such, but he did let slip he already had Torchwood filming lined up in his diary for next year, right?


• Having said that, I think that rumour a while back about TW only being recommissioned for a five-episode stint might well be true. I think they're going for ANOTHER revamp, and they've SO got US dollars on the brain. Which is funny, yo because the dollar's so sucky right now. But all this would take place after the elections, so per definition the dollar would be less sucky, but still.


• Wow, the writer's strike and the absence of any new drama in the US did this show SO MANY FAVOURS, didn't it? Seriously. If you see US interest as a favourable development, that is.


• What I mean is, I think us Whovians seriously underestimate how many fans of the Buffyverse came into TW season two, for a lack of anything better to watch anyway, watched for the Spike and stayed for the slash. It's the most fortunate set of circumstances that could ever have befallen a British drama series and if you don't think BBC Wales are SCRAMBLING and tripping over their own feet right now to take advantage of that situation, you are VERY WRONG.


• I wish Torchwood was Welsher than it is. And seeing as they seemingly based Ianto's character almost ENTIRELY on internet fanon, I wish they'd run with what seems to be the unanimous internet opinion that Ianto speaks fluent Welsh. Damn them.

The problem is that RTD wants to be Joss Whedon, but he's really Marti Noxon.

Oh God.

Now I've come over queasy.

[meleth.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

And I think I should have typed Marni? I can never remember which one is her name.

[rowanswhimsy.livejournal.com]

It's Marti. But I refer to her as Noxious. :-)

Just reading through this old thread, and ran across this comment of yours, and it's the truest thing I've ever heard in my life!

I want to quote you everywhere. I want a friggin' bumper sticker! May I quote? I'll credit!
