Reuters are reporting the Libyan rebels have entered the Gaddaffi compound.

Also Gaddaffi is alive apparently and in Tripoli
this according to a Russian former goat herder and chess grandmaster who played him at chess once.
I would love if that story is true and that was the person he chose to ring

The thing about not having read a newspaper

This season is much better than the last ones,
they can actually afford things like sets and stuff now, amazing.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 16:47, Reply)

Definitely not
they got rid of the decent characters and stuck with Gwen because she's pretty. I'm not a fan of Torchwood but it's even worse now

I like the new guy Rex and the Doctor woman. I think the red haired morally ambiguous girl is good.

And Gwen isn't pretty anymore.

it's like an hour of gay porn and bad romance novels. I was hoping torchwood had turned a corner :(
(PsychoChomp, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 16:46, Reply)

You've got to hand it to them, it's at least moved on from the big-gay-welsh-Men-in-Black that the first two series were
It is still incredibly silly, I just want to know how it ends. As long as they don't go for the same style of dreadful grief-porn ending as the last one.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 16:49, Reply)

They'll grief porn it right up, and you know it.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 16:50, Reply)

Yeah, actually, based on the ending of the last episode,
I can see them setting up a crass and obvious "tragedy" for the finale in the hope of adding "poignancy" to what is otherwise just a daft bit of Gay Welsh Sci-fi.

That's the annoying thing RTD always does
there was that one terrible episode of Dr Who which just tagged a "..and it was the night my mother died...boo hooo..." to try and make people care about it.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 23 Aug 2011, 16:54, Reply)

Well, quite - just look at the end of the Tate/Tennent series
Part 1 - set up a fantastic (if rather far-fetched) apocalyptic crisis scenario.

Part 2 - resolve said apocalyptic crisis in the first 20 minutes with some lazy magic-button-pushing so we can get on with another 25 minutes of mawkish sentimental "human drama."

Yeah, when Gaddaffi or Abbas imprison loads of people for outrageous periods of time
for minor offences they get called "dictators" but when our system does it they get told they are cleaning up a morally bankrupt society. What's that all about.

Well since it's quiet I'll tell you all about my weird dream last night
I dreamt I was about to get off with Thom Yorke (who in my dream was particularly tall and really hot, which he seems not to be in real life) and then it turned into an action film which involved me doing lots of heroic escaping from bad guys and swinging on ropes and being shot at (in the dream, I was remembering when I had been shot before in the shoulder. I like how dream me has her own back story, too)

Was pretty exciting. I woke up and had porridge.
