Torchwood sister series

Russell T. Davies -- he who revamped the Doctor Who franchise and then spawned Torchwood -- has come across the pond to work on what I'm calling a TW sister series for STARZ called Torchwood: Miracle Day. There's a little about it here and here. And more specific info about casting and such here.

In case you didn't read the title -- SPOILERS!




The return of "EUReKA" on Tuesday: WHOO HOO! It's back! I don't know if Allison getting back together with Stark is the best decision for her, but I've gotten to the point where I don't like the idea of her with Carter, either.

Last night's "Doctor Who" season finale: Wow. I laughed. I cried. It was great. Donna to Jack: "You can hug me now. No, really, you can hug me now." ::giggles:: Our sentiments exactly, dear!

Last night's "Stargate Atlantis": Not one of their better episodes. I mean, what was the point, really? They hopped dimensions a couple of times, John and Ronin got to shoot a couple of bad guys, Rodney figured out how to put the dimension drive in reverse, and they got home. Big deal. I guess I'm so used to every episode having something to do with other episodes that this one just kinda threw me. If it was a set-up for a new idea, it was pretty weak. But we did get to see a bit of Zalenka, so that was nice.

Howdy from the Hole

Nothing exciting to report. Needing to up my self-discipline a bit to get these fish measured. Finished the Stephen King novel Duma Key. Watched "Doctor Who" tonight and am pretty excited about next week's ep with Rose, Martha, Jack, and the Torchwood crew in attendance (at least, I think I saw Gwen in the preview).

That's it. Boring ol' me. ::grin::

Crazy fangirl squee

OK, so I already knew I love CBS because every show I watch is there except for Doctor Who, Stargate Atlantis, EUReKA, and Dirty Jobs. But tonight, as I pulled up their show menu to see if Friday's Moonlight has been posted (I recorded it while I watched DW, but my tape broke this morning after watching CSI), I saw a section off to the side labeled TV Classics. When what should my wandering eyes perceive but . . .

MACGYVER!

I clicked the link, and lo and behold! Choirs of angels began to sing as I saw . . .

Full episodes. All of them. Every eppy, every season.

Don't believe me? Check it out.
