Am watching Orgazmo right now. Definitely one of the best Mormon-turned-pornstar comedy in its genre. X-D Definitely inspiration for my story, lol.
Ok, so who's seen the Torchwood season finale??? I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this episode. There are so many great lines in this. Not as many as some of the other eps, but it's got a lot to make up for that. James Marsters was in rare form as Captain Spike, er, John. I'm glad he got to redeem his character. Nothing like a campy gay conman. Or rather, ANOTHER, campy gay conman. =D I particularly love the way Ianto and Tosh dispatch of the occult freaks like it was any other thing to do. Which, for them, probably was. What I didn't much care for was the way they wrapped up the Gray (Grey?) storyline. The actor who played him wasn't 100%, though I can see why they chose him. He looks a little bit like John Barrowman and even sounds like him at times. Definitely good to play a relative. Other than that, I felt the performance didn't drive the story well enough and I feel it was a little too wrapped up in the end, all things considered.
In terms of character death, I'm not sure who I feel sorrier for: Owen or Tosh. It honestly broke my heart to see them go. I love Burn and Naoko, and I don't want them to go! I just honestly can't see which direction TW is going to go, now that only the love triangle is left. Yeah, they're probably going to bring in new characters, but still. I also feel like both of those characters were so underutilized, especially Tosh. I would have loved to see more episodes centering on her. And I still hold out hope that science fiction will do its thing and bring them back. But, somehow, I doubt it. Man, though, Owen went in the worst possible way. I can't think about this anymore, it's making me teary. Despite everything, though, I'm curious about series 3 and how they're going to handle it. Anyone hear anything already?
Here's the Torchwood iPod audiobook of Slow Decay: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P74Q3W8G
It's pretty good, made even better by the fact that Burn Gorman reads it. Let me know what you think of it!
