Torchwood THUD Redux
While lazing away this holiday morning, I had another idea for the reboot of this show. There was a delicious throw-away comment in the pilot of Torchwood where Jack mentions having been pregnant, and his sincere intention to never do that again.
At the end of the most recent mini-series, Children of Earth, Captain Jack is still mourning the loss of ( Read more... ) -
Torchwood THUD
A couple of days ago, my BFF Sara told me another season of Torchwood is in the works. Since the Welsh facility was destroyed and most of the team killed off in the finale (Children of Earth), the producers are looking for new teammates and a new home. The folks behind it are international, so there's a possibility that the new Torchwood ( Read more... ) -
New Userpic
Just updated the pic, and no, that's not me. It's a manip cobbled together from several faces to depict Gabriel. You can't really see his beautiful eyes that well with the icon as small as it is, but trust me, he's gorgeous. Platinum hair worn in a long braid and golden eyes. It's a start, anyway. -
Adam Lambert
This kid can wail! I've been listening to his music for three days straight, and the quality of his voice is just incredible. He's got such range! Wow.
Am thinking about casting him as my pint-sized super-genius, Gabriel, in my new novel in progress. Bet he'd love playing a role like that, except he'd have to go back to his natural blond hair and ( Read more... ) -
TV Series idea
Just had an idea for a TV series that I'm going to put out there -- not that anyone will notice, but I'll have it here for the day I'm rich and famous and can do a webisode or something.
JUSTICE
Hour-long drama or mini-series
In the pilot (and subsequently in the opening credits, along with some dark, creepy music), we witness the birth of a celestial ( Read more... ) -
Support the Arts
Back in the day, when people showed promise as painters, musicians, dancers or writers, a wealthy member of society would contribute to their support so they could sharpen their talents and (hopefully) become great masters. The artists apprenticed under masters who could teach them to expand their skills. In this sheltered environment, the artists ( Read more... ) -
The Return of Lady Grey
*sound trumpets*
Well, maybe not.
It's likely that no one is following this journal anymore since it hasn't been active in a long time, but the Web is a big world and folks discover all the time. For those of you who still cruise by now and then, thank you. I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth yet, but sometimes hang on by my fingernails.

Ode to Michael Shanks
If only Hollywood had the brains to discover this man. He has an enormous fan following. He has talent, but he needs a challenge and characters he can believe. He enjoys playing bad boys, but give him an honorable character with reasons to delve into the dark side, and he’ll take the audience’s breath away. Take his clothes off and the audience ( Read more... ) -

What I’m watching / Why I like it / What they’re doing right / What they’re doing wrong

I’m watching it because it’s going to have Michael Shanks on it. No, really - that’s the only reason, though I also liked the concept when it was first launched.
I’m also tickled with the Jack Bauer mystique that’s cropped up in fandom, reminiscent of ( Read more... )
