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.

Right. I found Rose lovely and likable in both seasons (though a bit prettier in S2 -- I really loved the shorter hair), and her chemistry with both Doctors believeable and interesting.
