Things that I'm quite enjoying at the moment...

1. Torchwood. I've seen some negative responses to it, both on my flist and in various other places online, but I've gotten to a place where that's not making me doubt my own reaction to the show, which has been overwhelmingly positive. I love the characters, I love the dynamics, I love where they seem to be going.

2. Lois Lane on Smallville. In fact, the two episodes without Lois have been my least favorite this year. I don't know if that's actually attributable to Lois or if it's just because Fallout (weak guest acting) and Static (bad A&B plot mixing) weren't as good as the other episodes, but I do know that I'm loving every moment that she's onscreen and she's very close to being my favorite Lois Lane ever. She's everything that Lois should be -- she kicks ass, talks a hard game, and has a tough attitude with a soft underbelly that she tries so hard to hide. And, on a similar note, Oliver Queen is a terrific character. I'm really enjoying him.

3. Rewatching Season 2/28 of Doctor Who on Sci-fi. I adore Rose Tyler, even more in S2 than in S1 (which makes me something of a rarity, as I understand). I love her storylines in both seasons, but her chemistry with the tenth Doctor is a bit more powerful and playful than her chemistry with the ninth and I just flat-out adore Rose with her Doctor (I do see Ten as her Doctor, more so than Nine -- Nine was the shell-shocked war survivor, who was clinging as much as he was loving). Plus, I *heart* the kicky shorter hair. Love her S2 haircut.

4. Boston Legal. This show is on so much crack, but it's amazingly high-quality. Great acting, wonderfully funny but with a strong heart. It has three really great female characters right now, one of them being played by Candice Bergen</td> (Murphy Brown). It has James Spader as Alan Shore, the best lawyer ever! And William Shatner! Who has both funny and touching storylines. Wonderful, wonderful show.

5. Eureka, which is making me regret not watching it air live. It's a really great show, with tons of smart and capable characters. There's an interesting father&daughter relationship, great character dynamics, a lot of diversity. All-around goodness, really. I've seen up to Right as Raynes, which... made me cry at the end... just a little. I'm just really loving the show.

I need to see Torchwood. Why won't Sci-Fi or BBC America buy the episodes? *sulks*

I love both Nine and Ten, and love seeing Rose with both of them, though the dynamic is different, of course. But then, I'm one of those people who can't pick a favorite companion, or a favorite Doctor. If you asked me, "Who is the best Doctor?" I'd say, "Yes. Who IS the best Doctor. Every single incarnation of Who."

Because seriously, how can you choose? They're all different aspects of the same person.

For the same reason, I can't choose between the Doctor's Companions. From Susan Foreman to Rose Tyler, they've all been something special. And I assume that Martha Jones will be too.

Well, as regards to Torchwood, I'm fully willing to send people copies of the episodes, considering the long wait they may have. But I was thinking of waiting until the whole season had aired before offering. I think that all the episodes would fit on one disc. Unless it's all-but-one. Hmm.

Indeed. I completely agree!

I do have a lot of hope, when it comes to Martha. She's being created by RTD, who was the guy who wrote up Rose. And I like RTD's female characters, in general.
