Surviving Torchwood: Children of Earth
Jul. 11th, 2009 12:59 pmFrom my own personal reactions, not to mention witnessing the fan community explode and implode at the same time, I think it's safe to beg for therapy now. This last week has been an amazing experience. I usually feel like Donna with events like this ("What have I missed now?!"). Not this time! I got to be a part of this roller coaster and I don't regret a single moment of it. Even the parts where I had to play mediator and be a babysitter to some very immature people in a chat box, oi!
Now, I watched CoE like everyone else did. One episode as it aired per day. It's now Saturday as I write this, and I fully plan on doing a full re-watch all at once. I just may be insane. Yes, there will be large amounts of alcohol consumed to get me through it. But I must do it. It's how I deal with traumatic events. Not to mention that the film student side of me is sobbing in pure joy at how brilliant CoE was. With that said, I plan on doing a little highlight by day reaction now, followed by an individual post for each episode with the pros and cons.
Oh, and have I mentioned I want to have Euros' babies? The man is a fucking genius!!!
Day 1
( Note to self: I never want to be an alien hitchhiker. )
Day 2
( Note to self: Be terrified of concrete. )
Day 3
( Note to self: Baked beans =/= stopwatch. )
Day 4
( Note to self: Make sure to rig an 'in case of emergency break glass' feature to any requested alien tanks I may receive in my lifetime. )
Day 5
( Note to self: Never strip off your protective gear before rushing head first into a military riot beat down. )
So there you have it. A somewhat brief overview of my thoughts on the week. Like I said, not everything is mentioned as I plan on being oh so detailed later. As of right now? I have a grief nest to go build on the couch out of every soft blanket and stuffed animal I can find (including dog toys) while I prepare for the CoE marathon.
Depending on how badly I'm pissed later, will determine if I can get another reaction post up.
