The BBC Torchwood site isn't letting me down in terms of content - I'm in research geek heaven :) Although, I do have one problem with it. ( I'm not sure if you can have spoilers for a website, but just in case )

ETA: I just got an email from 'Ianto Jones'. I love the Torchwood website. hee.

Otherwise, I am happily plotting fic, to be written once I finished the Firefly one that jumped into my head. I have no idea where it came from or where it's going, but there is definitely a penguin involved...

I don't watch that much TV as TV - I mostly watch DVDs and stuff online. But I'd pay my licence fee just for Radio 4. Nothing exercises my brain as well.

Specifically, the PM programme. I didn't tune in until 5.30, but I heard:

- a piece about mixed sex hospital wards. While I agree that it'd be good to do something about it, I got really cross with the commentator who said it was 'third world standards'. What? They have a hospital. They're already a step up. Get some perspective, people.

- a piece about the BBC's new Gaelic service, which sounds really good. Only the man they'd brought in to argue the 'no' side of the case was rubbish. A good argument would have been "spending £20m on 100,000ish people isn't great value". "If there was demand, there would be a Gaelic satellite channel" is not a good argument. Nor is saying people lied to the survey. Personally, I think it sounds great. But I'm a language addict, so I would.

- a piece about cauliflower. No, really. Cauliflower. Complete with recipe.

Gotta love Radio 4 :)

I'm now 10 episodes into Firefly - it's like mainlining the shiny and I'm loving it. While I'll go trawling through the pit if I have to, I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of some good fanfic communities or writers, apart from the ones on my flist. I've only got 4 episodes to go, and I'm going to need something to plug the gap...

Current Mood: amused

I was going to make this shorter, but I have too many thoughts. But I kept it under 1600 words and used headings to keep things moving in more or less a straight line. Go me.

Contains spoilers for Doctor Who, Torchwood, Stargate: Atlantis Season 4, fairy tales, Greek mythology and the Bible.

I have been seduced by the shiny that is Firefly, but together with this week's SGA episode, it's triggered a rather odd train of thought, bringing into focus something that I've been interested in for a while. There's no big argument here and no profound point to make. It's more of a series of observations that have been gathering weight in my mind. If anyone spots a higher meaning, please point it out to me. Otherwise, please keep your arms and legs inside the car and enjoy the ride.

( I was going to call this 'what's in a name?' but decided it was too cheesy even for me (yes, that's possible) )

( And this was the actual point of the ramble – Spoilers for SGA 4x14 'Harmony' )

Hmmmm...
