Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

Aside from the character butchery and the severe lack of Torchwood-ness, CoE also annoyed me with a stupid plot that had big enough holes to drive a track through it. So no, I don't think I'd have liked it, even if I hadn't expected it to be, you know, Torchwood - which it decidedly wasn't.

But again, evil government conspiracies bore me to death. It was an interesting idea in the first two hundred or so films and shows I saw it, but by now it lets me fall asleep.

Conspiracies can be fun to me, but I prefer ones that at least seem to have some degree of sense to them (eg the cult of secrecy around the Stargate, then conspiracies to get control of it), not just conspiracies for the sake of evilness!

I second that. Look how long Stargate lasted with that concept, despite the sometimes harebrained non-science, even spawned two sequels - well, one, as "Universe" has about as much to do with Stargate as Miracle Crap had with Torchwood.
