Found via [info]thisissirius and omg it's broken me all over again. I'm not usually this fragile over things but Torchwood: Children of Earth has really struck a cord. It was just too brilliant and too devastating and I think it'll take me a helluva while to fully recover from everything that happened.

...though watching fanvids like this probably don't help much at all. Still, it was just too gorgeous not to share with you all. ::passes out hankies::

The only annoying thing about this series of Torchwood is the fact that it was so friggen good that I cannot with any degree of seriousness hate it. It killed me in every possible way, but at the same time it was the best nail-biting, nerve-wracking, emotional rollercoaster of a series I've ever had the pleasure to watch. The characters- all of them- finally found their feet and their places within Torchwood and made it work so spectacularly. This series itself made me cry on at least four seperate occasions and I just have to state that tv just never does that to me.

I'm probably not going to do any sort of reaction/recap post with my thoughts and opinions on every tiny detail of Children of Earth, nor any OTT posts filled with angst and anger over certain events we all wish never happened (but which in fact did happen and no amount of sobbing and or threatening is going to make it go away. That's what fanfiction is for, people.) but I just wanted to let everyone know that I've watched it all, and that though it killed me and I may be silent on the matter of Torchwood for a little while as I recover, I am in fact very much alive and inlove with series three and am planning a multitude of fics to show my appreciation (yes, and my denial!) of this awesome piece of television. I LOVE YOU TORCHWOOD: COE!!!

Also! Does anyone have their TW:COE dvds yet? I know there was talk of some people getting them early and really want to know what the extras are like? And there had better be extras, we were so badly cheated out of them with S2 that I will be most displeased if there's not so much as a wiff of a special feature for S3!

When a Cardiff hospital is inundated with patients who have fallen into coma-like trances,
Torchwood move in to investigate. The trances appear to have been triggered by phone calls,
all received on retro phones and made from a number that hadn't been active for over 30 years.
Determined to find out who has been calling the unfortunate victims,
Jack rings the mysterious number, but the line is dead.
But then it calls Jack back.

Good news in regards to LFCC, the bosslady unexpectedly agreed to let me have the Saturday off work, which means I'll be able to attend both the Saturday and Sunday of LFCC :D (...in return, because apparently there's a tit-for-tat attatched to any holidays I want, I'm working two 6-day weeks at over 40hours per week. UGH THE FAIL).

So! Since Stacey and I will be there over the weekend, I was wanting to see how everyone felt about going to the theatre on the Saturday night instead of on the Monday? Also, I was thinking about going to see Avenue Q, unless anyone has any objections/other suggestions? Also, anyone who's going to LFCC is welcome to come too, the more the merrier, right? ...and, um, is it better to book tickets in advance for this sort of thing?

I was going to make a huge big shiny post about how I'm absolutely stoked about the new series of Torchwood and how we're being terribly spoiled, in the good way, with all the novels and audiobooks and the upcoming radioplays... but for the past few days Torchwood has been far from my mind. You see, I've been reading copious amounts of Harry Potter/Twilight crossover fanfics after accidently stumbling my way across some and now... well... you see... I'm sort of addicted O_o... it's like the novels all over again, once you start reading you just cannot stop. And, like, some of this stuff is actually good. Honest! I'm not just reading for the shallow pretty that is Harry/Edward or anything. Maybe. ...somebody send help?

Also, I've totally not been thinking of all the fics I could be writing for this crossover.

I needed to get all the “negative” stuff about the weekend over and done with first, because I didn’t want to be brooding over it all when I came to write about the “positive” things because I feel I’d probably have ended up overshadowing the good with the bad and no one wants that when I start on the “OMG MISHA COLLINS IS LOVE” parts, right? ;)

 

 

Okay, so... let the Asylum3 bitching commence... )

Hello, beloved flisters!

I hope everyone had a kickass weekend? Because I sure as hell did ;) spending a weekend in Cardiff (an unexpectedly sunny weekend no less) with my girlies and seeing both John Barrowman (and unexpected!David Tennant!) and Star Trek was beyond awesome. There was much banter to be had simply hanging out together and I find myself missing everyone so very terribly already! Well, them and the Welsh Cake Ice-Cream, which omg, should be sold all over the place (much like diet Irn Bru should, because omg withdrawal!) it's that good. No lie. Ice-cream has never tasted so good as when you're sitting out over the bay with blistering sunshine overhead and a tub of Welsh Cake and Chocolate ice-cream. Mmmmmm.... excuse me whilst I bask in the remembrance a moment...

So! Now that I'm back, and feeling relatively well rested and at home (it's raining again, how much more "home-y" can you get in Scotland, really?) I've begun preperations for the impending weekend of EPIC SQUEE!!!11one!11! Yes folks, it's FINALLY time for Asylum3 and OMG can I stop bouncing all over the walls already? I managed to contain myself very well over the past weekend, I don't think I even initiated all that many "oh, and did I mention I'll be at Asylum3 next weekend!?" "And I'll be getting glomped by Jensen and Jared!!" "And omgee did I tell you Misha is going to be there?!" conversations either. How proud of me are ya'll? XD But now that I'm back home and off work till after the convention it's like ALL I can think about. I started making lists for what I need to pack (girlies, PJs are at the top of the list again. I shall endeavour to follow said list this time!) what I still need to get from town, and what I need to print/book/etc before Thursday in order to be ready to fly out at the crack of dawn Friday. ASDFGHJK IT'S SO CLOSE NOW GUYS, ONLY TWO MORE SLEEPS, UNGH I CAN SMELL IT ALREADY!!!

And breathe. In a bid to calm myself a little in readiness for bed, I'm off to read some more of the Star Trek novel I purchased at the airport on Monday. It is all kinds of exciting guys, and I recommend everyone rushes out to buy their own copy asap. It's like seeing the movie all over again, except with loads of extra added bits (like, omg Spock's baby ears! ::gushy sounds::). And, even though I went to see the movie tonight (last night?) for my sixth showing, I feel that the book shall now be more than enough to satisfy my overwhelming need to watch this movie on repeat. Any time I get the urge to see Spock Star Trek I can now flip open my book and voila! it'll be just like the movie. Just without the moving pictures. Satisfied Caspe is satisfied.

...Umm. My moodtheme is doing nothing to express the level of my flail right now. Why so un-chipper chipper!Castiel?

<33
