Some Updates

This past week, I have posted a lot of short blog entries and they were starting to look strange and/or lazy, so I put them together into this one post. Enjoy and feel free to leave your comments.

• Torchwood in America: Torchwood is coming to America according to this article. Does this mean a certain person will come back to life?
• Shirtless Magazine Covers: In case you wanted to take a look... Johnny Depp appears shirtless on the cover of the latest issue of GQ. And (for some reason) John Mayer is shirtless on the cover of Rolling Stone. They both have tattoos on their left arms.
• Villain News: Peter Saarsagard might play the villain in the new Green Lantern movie.
• More Good News: Soon, you will be able to stream Netflix movies from your Wii!
• Traffic: I read this article today about the areas in the U.S. with the worst traffic. I can't believe only two of these are near me (in the L.A. area). It's nice to know that other Americans share the grief of the Angelinos.
• Grammy's 2010 (Um, 2009?): Here is an article from the L.A. Times about how Phoenix is up against Depeche Mode at the Grammy's.
• Death Metal Rooster: If you haven't seen this YouTube clip of the Death Metal Rooster, you should watch it. Turn down your speakers a little bit, first.

I warned you.

Torchwood

This post is going to be about Torchwood. If you haven't seen it and you don't want to read any spoilers, then don't read this. But may I suggest you just never bother starting to watch it in the first place?

*************** Here Be Spoilers ***************

So I just finished watching the last episode of the 5 episode mini-series Torchwood: Children of Earth. Actually, I just finished fast-forwarding through the whole episode to see if Ianto was in it, but he was not. What the hell? Why do they kill everyone off on this show? What is the point of that? Why did I watch two whole seasons and a mini series - for this? That's it? That's how it ends??

Oh, maybe they will come back later and have another series - who will be in it? Jack and Gwen and Rhys? And a baby or something? Lois? That would suck.

Plus, I always though Tosh and Owen were killed off because the actors needed to leave to go do other things or something (um... Bleak House?), but no. Apparently they were killed off for "dramatic" reasons. I don't care so much about them, but it did seem like kind of a waste for both of them to die in the same episode. But Ianto? There is no Torchwood without Ianto.

What a waste of time.

My suggestion to you, if you want to start watching this BBC series (a spin-off of sorts from Doctor Who, which I don't watch) is to go ahead and stop watching at the end of Episode 3 of COE. Then imagine in your head any ending you can think of - I'm sure it will be better than the real one.

Ack. I still can't believe it.
