"Honestly. No Entries For Ten Days, And Then Two Come Along At Once."
Slashers can be terribly obnoxious when their pairings of choice become canonical, and that makes me sad. I can understand that, if you tend towards the slash pairings, their being, er, canonised would be a rare event, and so I can understand being happy about it, and I certainly like the pairing in question myself, but still. Calm down a little, would you? (I'm not talking to any of you, friendslist; you can do no wrong. I was fairly thrilled myself, but then I wandered into a Jack/Ianto community and AAAAAAH THE SHRIEKING. THE SMUGNESS.)
Actually, I can't judge people for getting all fangirly over Torchwood, because I am fairly sure that it was created almost entirely to pander to the fangirls. (Also, give me a show with an almost-canonical and ridiculously hot slash pairing, and what do I do? I go and fall in love with Gwen/Rhys. There's just no pleasing me, is there?)
(WHY DON'T I LOVE TORCHWOOD? IT IS NOT FAIR. I WANTED TO LOVE IT SO MUCH. WILL NOTHING DOCTOR WHO-RELATED MATCH UP TO NINE'S EPISODES FOR ME? ALAS.)
On an utterly not-complaining note (which is nice), Oz and James's Big Gay Wine Adventure is absolutely charming. I think that all specialist programmes should include at least one presenter who knows next to nothing about the subject (or maybe the rule should be 'all specialist programmes should include at least one Top Gear presenter'), and I also think that any documentary that by its nature will have utterly drunk presenters half the time can only be a good thing.
I was going to try to list all the Insane Fanfic Ideas That I Really, Really Shouldn't Write, and then I realised that the evil fic-persuaders among you might use it as a reference list when trying to make me write ridiculous things, so I won't.
