So, Torchwood... and other TV goodies
Mar. 12th, 2009 04:18 pmI watched the pilot yesterday - yeah, it finally came to German TV. It probably won't ever come to Hungarian TV, but, well, that's life.

Speaking of which, I'm also watching the 4th season of "Stargate: Atlantis". Fortunately, RTL II brings 2 episodes each Wednesday, so we're gonna through the season in record time. Actually, it's not so bad. I won't buy it on DVD like I bought the first 3 seasons - despite the frequent appearance of Dr. Zelenka, cutest scientist in two galaxies, it's no longer the same series I've invested so much interest (and anger) in.

Tele 5 cut off "Earth: Final Conflict" at the end of Season 4 - again. Now, I admit that E:FC hasn't been any good since they've killed off Boone and replaced him with Liam "Marty Stu" Kincaid, but leaving us off with a cliffhanger (erupting volcano with main hero within anyone?) is really mean. I've heard how much of a dreck Season 5 was, but I prefer to hate it on my own, okay?
Now they're running Mutant X instead. As much as I like John Shea, I just can't see him and not think "hey, what's Lex Luthor doing here?" anymore. Stupid, I know. And the young hotties around him just lack any personality. I'd prefer to keep hating the Taelons. Ah, well, it's still better than anything else.
One of the Hungarian channels restarted "Criminal Minds" this week. I'll try to watch it in the proper order. I still like the unusual concept - the focus being on the suspect, not on the crime itself - even though I find the cases way too brutal and Patinkin boring. That's a series I'll love to re-watch regularly, I think, but I'll never buy; perhaps not even record. Sadly, one can never know when a Spencer Reid scene will come, and the others just aren't interesting enough for me.
I'm currently working on my Criminal Minds/SGA x-over, in which Reid is sent to 2nd Season Atlantis, where he'll take the place of McKay in Sheppard's team, while McKay will finally act as the head of the science department, instead of being the idiot who gets shot on other planets. It has a strong Reid/Kavanagh plot string, starting with friendship and evolving into something else, for which I'll probably be lynched by the Kav-haters, but I don't really care. I enjoy writing it very much. Even if it means that now I have another multi-chapter monstrosity that is going to haunt me for the next ten years or so.
