  1. We don't know what birth control Jane was using and nothing is 100% effective. Accidents happen.
  2. As far as I'm concerned, COE never happened. There were only 26 episodes of Torchwood and Ianto isn't dead. (After COE, I stopped watching DW until RTD had left the show because I didn't trust him not to screw over another fandom)
  3. After it had been in the cinema for several weeks, I finally let a friend of mine persuade me to go to Titanic in 1998 with her. I expected to be bored to tears by the romance and just counting down the minutes until the iceberg showed up and I could enjoy the 'disaster movie' element of it. But in spite of myself, I did actually enjoy the pre-iceberg part of the movie as well as the sinking. (not enough to ever bother re-watching it, but I definitely didn't feel like I'd wasted the price of admission)
  4. 2015 looks to be the release date of the projects, not necessarily the filming date. 1 is listed as completed and 2 in post-production, so he's probably already done with them. And the two in pre-production could easily have filming completed before 2015. AFAIK, a lot of shows would have a first call on the services of their main cast, so anything else that BC would be doing would have to fit in around Season 4 filming.
  5. I had to pause the ep during the graveyard scene and aftermath because I was laughing so much at it! Loved the scene in Henry's office when the DA said 'tell me about the feather' and from the look on Henry's face you could just see the relief as he realised it was all over. The last bit with Branch and his father was (for me) a jaw dropping moment. I couldn't believe that Pa Connally was just so cold hearted. Damn! (and yes I may have paused the ep a few times to admire a clean shaven/suited up Branch :-)
  6. So the dead guy was confessing to a crime in Dublin and they have a British cop coming to deal with it? Uh, no, I don't think so. If they wanted to have Frankie practically swoon over a British accent, why not just set the crime in Belfast?
  7. (posting from the shallow end of the pool) Branch looked all kinds of hot in his civvies. Is it wrong of me to half hope that he doesn't go back to being a deputy so that he can dress like that all the time? ;-)
  8. Val Kilmer is is my favourite Batman and Batman Forever is my favourite of all the Batman movies. Objectively speaking, maybe it wasn't the best of them, but it was the one I enjoyed most of all.
  9. The Towering Inferno freaked me out when I saw it. Especially the scene where they're all queuing for the elevators and the doors open and a burning man hurtles out into the crowd. (for ages after that, if I was waiting for an elevator, I wouldn't stand directly in front of the doors just in case it happened for real) Bigelow's (Robert Wagner) death was also a disturbing scene, in part because he was about the only actor I recognized in the movie and just to see him running and catching fire and falling down was pretty upsetting. (in fairness, I was only 9 at the time and only watching it because it was the Christmas night movie that year, and since my mother loved Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, the whole family had to watch it)
  10. AMEN!!! Torchwood was already on my watch list, but this was the episode that put Torchwood on my 'plan my entire evening's viewing around' list. And I put the blame squarely on Ianto. (I still believe that he should have been the audience identification character rather than Gwen) That he was clearly scared of his wits but still willing to sacrifice himself to let Tosh get away, that's a true hero. (and yes, he did look hot in jeans ;-) IIRC, this was also the episode that set off my loathing for Gwen. Starting with her ridiculous 'who did you last snog' game. Tactless enough if you take two seconds to think about the fact that for one of your co-workers you can be pretty sure that the last person they snogged had only recently died. And even if Gwen had forgotton about Lisa when she'd suggested the game, she gets reminded of the whole Cyberwoman situation by Owen's answer and two seconds later she's *still* gobsmacked when Ianto mentions Lisa. (heart of Torchwood my arse). Then we have her giving up her gun and getting captured. Her insistence on 'having to know' the why behind the cannibals. And her clear shock that there are bad people in the world. (I know Cardiff isn't exactly murder central, but as a police officer, surely Gwen should have some experience in crime?) And then of course there's the ending with Gwen and Owen. Poor little Gwen not having anybody to shag, um, I mean 'talk to' about the days events. Blech.
  11. AFAIK, the habit is the whole outfit. The thing on their heads is a wimple.
  12. I was at one of the cinema live broadcasts and I nearly laughed myself silly in places. The guys did look like they were enjoying themselves - even or maybe especially when they flubbed a line or two. I'd say pretty near everybody in the cinema was singing along for the 'spontaneous' encore (as well as many of the other songs) Well worth the money, IMO.
  13. I'm sure I read something (years ago) about how it was a safety issue, that ML didn't want the girls getting hurt from walking around barefoot.
  14. So Branch is trying to investigate a murder (Hector) and attempted murder (himself) that took place in Walt's juristiction. But Walt would rather he investigated a crime that took place outside his jurisdiction just so he can clear Henry? And Branch is supposed to be in the wrong? Don't get me wrong, I totally understand why Walt wants to clear Henry, but he should be doing it on his own time and not using the county police resources. I'm actually liking Sean more than Vic right now. But I'm guessing (if he's any sense) he'll be moving on now that he's seen for himself Vic's feelings for Walt. The whole idea of not bringing a phone was stupid. If they didn't want to be contactable, they should at least have bought a burner phone for emergencies, like, I don't know, running your car off the road. (and what sort of idiot doesn't fully charge their phone the night before a trip?) As for Sean giving up the number, I'm guessing he figured they were dead meat anyway and there wasnt much to lose.
  15. I thought that she soaked the shirt so that when she threw it at her interogator it short circuited the taser device he was holding and the resulting electric shock incapacitated him long enough for Jessica to get the jump on him.
  16. Ordinary sugar, maybe grind it up a bit finer, with cocoa/drinking chocolate for flavouring. Might not be pefect but should be acceptable in a pinch.
  17. All I can say is 'bloody hell'! (in a good sense of course!)
  18. In Monty Python's The Life of Brian, the scene where Brian tells the crowd "You're all individuals" and the crowd replies "Yes, we're all individuals", the line "I'm not!" was improvised by one of the extras.
  19. Because this fic never gets old http://sam-storyteller.livejournal.com/126227.html "Trying to communicate" aka Torchwood meets an lolcat.
  20. William Devane wasn't credited until the end of last week's episode, and IMO he was on screen for easily as long as Tzi Ma was this week.
  21. I was an original series fan growing up and I remember the first time I saw a picture of the 'new' crew I thought "No way, this can't possibly be Star Trek without the original characters". It didn't air in my country for a few years, and by then I'd read so much about it in SciFi mags - and had even bought some of the tie-in books - that I was ready to give it a chance and I just never stopped watching.
  22. And people who work for firms who don't move with the times :-) I work for a small firm (7 staff) and they *finally* started with the direct deposit earlier this year. Prior to that our wages clerk had to write out all the pay cheques every month. The down side for me is that because I'm with a different bank than the firm, it doesn't appear in my account until a day later than usual.
  23. Really Jack? You rescued Chloe from the CIA site where she was being tortured only 8 hours ago, and now you want her to waltz right back in there to help you? I don't think so. And screw you for not even maybe thinking that she might have a problem going back. (granted she had other plans anyway, regardless of where he wanted her to go) I think the only thing going through Ian's mind was the paving stone. (what, too soon? ;-) And they killed Jordan....you bastards!!!! (would have much preferred Heller to be dead - although nice work show, keeping William Devane's name until the closing credits) I really thought he was going to make it out, and that when Kate got to the scene he'd have spilled the beans on Navarro. But I guess they had to have Jack be the one to find the mole, grrrrr...
  24. Miss Claudette may not have been there the last time Vee was inside. I know Miss C would have been in prison, but possibly in maximum security since she had a longer sentence to serve.
