Just finished watching "Sleeper" - episode 2.2 of Torchwood. (You remember the time in which it was hard to figure out the names of these episodes and you had to be an obsessed fan in order to do so? Now all you have to do is click info on your remote and there it is along with a composite summary. The information revolution really has changed things.)
Will now have to hunt through flist for all the spoilery reviews that I skipped when everyone else saw the episode, which was sometime last week. BBC America is roughly two weeks behind the UK BBC and net airings. Annoying that. Guess that's how everyone outside the US without the ability to download stuff felt about Buffy, eh? Also, by now, everyone is on to the last episode and sick of talking about it. Fun being late to the party. Not that I care all that much. Not really in the Torchwood fandom. And hardly obsessed. It's sort of nice actually. Being emotionally and cereberally invested in a tv series is exhausting not to mention incredibly time consuming. While watching it sort of casually is fun and entertaining.
( on the joys of not being fannish and a shipper regarding Torchwood, or rather not a relationship 'shipper' for tv shows in general )
Anywho...have mixed feelings about this episode. It wasn't as much fun as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Although it does have a few funny lines - which are delivered a bit too flatly. I'm guessing that's a fault of direction not acting? The overall theme is interesting, but I think it was addressed in some ways far better in both BattleStar Galatica (version2) and Star Trek The Next Generation. Here, I found it a bit uneven and obvious.
( Huge Spoilers for Sleeper, vague ones for Heroes, Lost, Battlestar Galatica S1-2 )
