It was only a matter of time before the Glove of Resurrection made its way back into the Torchwood storyline, and it makes perfect sense that it was with the resurrection of Suzie. I’m glad we got to see moreRead more…
Torchwood: Greeks Bearing Gifts
I thought the most interesting aspect of this episode was that no matter how awesome I found Toshiko in “Citycide,” I found her almost unbearably annoying for most of this episode. But I found her annoying much in the sameRead more…
Torchwood: Citycide
This episode totally creeped me out, in the best way possible. I love a good horror film, and Citycide had all the classic elements: An unknown evil creature (or person). An injured hero (Gwen). Romantic tension (Owen & Gwen). AnRead more…

24: Whack-a-mole
The big debate Monday night on Blogs4Bauer’s liveblog of Hour 14 was the status of moles. Right now, it seems as if there are so many moles in the White House, the Rose Garden should collapse in on itself. Let’sRead more…
