Torchwood however I can deal with. It’s simple even when it’s complicated, because it’s episodic and the formula works. Also, it goes from strength to strength – the second season was even better than the first with the awesome Owen Harper character arc and when things went disastrous in the last episode I really cared.  Heroes I enjoyed… hell, I even liked the second season when not a lot of others did, but what happened next? I doubt I’d be able to explain if my life depended on it.

I was looking on the SFX site earlier and came across their Torchwood Children Of Earth post. It’s the first I’ve heard about this but it sounds pretty cool.

Apparently it’s a mini-series over five nights where the three remaining members of Torchwood – that’s Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) and Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd) must face their biggest threat yet. Roll on Thursday’s trailer!

Also, check out the official Torchwood site.

We’ve got a thiiing goin’ awwwn…

Heroes can get away with a little confusion because you know that all or at least most of this will be resolved by the season’s end. Lost however, crossed that line long ago (I still bloody watch it if it’s on though, gaah!). One thing really bugs me about Heroes though, and this guy said it best – why oh why has Adam Monroe been given such a crap death? Adam was the lead villain of the second series (and I did enjoy this, though others thought it was too slow and expositiony) and in the last episode (to be shown on BBC, anyway) was disposed of so brashly. The new guy (Petrelli senior, apparently, in a Star Warsy-esque twist) reduced Adam to dust without a second thought. All that cool character build-up, Hiro finally having a super-cool sword-wielding adversary, there being a cool back story developed in series two. Why exhumed the coolest villain if you’re not gonna use him? besides, the only thing Adam was really worried about was being shot in the head (I seem to remember him mentioning this in the second series once or twice) so at least if you’re going to kill him off do it by preferably cutting off his head after an epic and well choreographed fight against Hiro. Ho hum, maybe he’ll come back (doubt it though). Anyway, here’s a pic of him crumbling (or not, thank previous hosts for helping to lose my pics!) 

…and a picture of the “villains”. I don’t really care about any of these new ones. Who is the guy with the tash(?) anyway? top-right I mean. Is that Peter or Sylar, or none of the above?

I love Heroes by the way, so don’t think I’m slagging it off! I’m just erm, picking flies!
