I am actually really excited for the next episode of Torchwood! I wasn't expecting this at all; I was fully expecting to have the same 'oh, it's so awful, but I'll still watch it every week just because it's there' feeling I had towards the end of the first series, but 'Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang' was a hundredfold improvement on 2006 and I am now very hopeful about what is to come. The makers have so clearly listened to the complaints the fans had about the 2006 series - well, they'd have to, really, because Torchwood's target audience appears to be Internet fangirls - and the programme is many, many times better because of it.
Of course, I suppose it could disappoint me within the next few episodes. But there is also a fair chance that it may not! I hope it doesn't, because I love being in a fangirly mood.
Also, I am developing real affection for the Torchwood team (which, as I have a tendency to send characters I like into Silent Hill and every single one of them is a prime Silent Hill candidate, is probably not good news for them), and I was made terribly gleeful when I discovered that we can now read their e-mails seriously how awesome is that? (There's a good chance the link won't work if you're outside the UK, because the BBC often blocks online content off from non-Britishers, I'm afraid. Also, spoilers for yesterday's episode.)
Probably my favourite of the e-mails:
( not spoilery, but behind a cut anyway so this entry takes up a little less space. )
OH, TORCHWOOD. All the alien-chasing and insanity, and you still have to wrestle with old-fashioned technical annoyances. (Also rather brilliant is the 'What Torchwood Were Up To During "The Sound of Drums"' mission report - and non-UKers should be able to read that, as it's copy-pasted from the official site onto an LJ community.)
(Seriously, someone must have sent the Torchwood team to Silent Hill by now, surely? It may quite possibly be the most obvious crossover in the world. I'm a little sorry that my crossover tag is 'insane crossovers' now, because on occasion the crossovers I talk about are clearly perfectly sane.)
