  • So, so tired this morning and I'm slightly peeved about it. I'd like to crawl back into bed.

  • Judging from my flist, I kinda doubt anyone's not heard about this yet. But April 5 will be the DW S4 start date. See? That wasn't so hard, BBC! Oh...you haven't released an actual air time yet? I guess it is hard.

  • Adrift:

    • Well, that was depressing as hell. Really really really really depressing. I think it's put me in a mood. God.

    • The lighter part of the episode was the Jack/Ianto stuff. Which I'm sure has no less than 20 billion icons made out of it. :D Last week [livejournal.com profile] josephides made a comment about Ianto knowing more than he lets on - that seems to be totally true. But anyway, half-nude Jack! I'll take that. FINALLY. (Although he's still been more nude on Doctor Who.)

    • Something's ringing a bit wrong to me about the mother talking to Gwen at the end. I don't know if it was blaming Gwen for everything, or if was the "but I still had hope" thing when before she'd said that the hope was killing her. Something didn't quite click about that all. And I get the mother being devastated by the truth - and she really would start mourning then, instead of being in this holding pattern. But...maybe her son would like to have the things she's packing up? Even though he's mental? I mean, there is still a human being who's locked away and will have to live out his life there. One who on his good days would desperately want to see his mother. Yeah, I feel bad for the mother, but I'm kind of feeling worse for the son. That ending didn't really seem quite right. Maybe it's realistic, and this is an extremely extraordinary circumstance, but... You know, I think that's really what depressed me the most: the notion that the mother was now going to treat it all like he'd been killed. Cut him completely off. Which reminded me a LOT of ye old days of throwing people away in asylums because they didn't want to deal/look at mental health issues. MEH.

    • I really liked Gwen and Rhys' conversations. Most times I do. They've got a brutal honesty about them that I totally dig. My only complaint after seeing this is that I'd like to see more serious conversations where they're not either yelling or crying. That they can have one of those brutally honest conversations without some type of explosion of emotion. But maybe that's the point - maybe they can't really talk to each other until something breaks? Dunno.

    • Note about the preview for the next episode: I was totally cracking up.

      Fandom: OMG. Give us backstory on these people! Character development! FOR REALS! SERIOUSLY! ANY DAY NOW!

      TPTB: Okaaaaaay... Got it! Everyone's lives will flash before their eyes! We can cram everything in about everyone all at once! Should take 3.5 minutes...
