( Okay, quick reaction to Torchwood 3x04. With a possible spoiler (well, a rumor) for the DW-specials. )

What happened to the prettyness? 3x02 was so very pretty, and this one was so very not.

Once again I fail at getting this done before the next episode airs. But this one took a while because there was so much awesomeness that needed to be picspammed.

It's kinda hard to picspam the episodes before the next one airs when there's a new one every day:)

The first three Torchwood-audio plays were pretty forgettable, but if you haven't yet, you really need to listen to today's play. Ianto finally talked about the issues in the Jack/Ianto relationship:
You can find a transcript of the speech here , but I really recommend listening to it. GDL really nailed it.
(and Rhys was awesome too, just so you know!)
This must be the longest that I’ve ever looked at you and not seen you smile. I’ve watched you in your sleep; did you know that? So many times. Just woken up beside you in the middle of the night and watched you. Watched your eyes moving behind your eyelids as you dreamed. And tried to imagine what a man like you could possibly dream about. The things you’ve seen; the lives you’ve lived; the people you’ve loved. I wondered if you were dreaming about me, I hoped you were dreaming about me.
But lets be honest, Jack. I’m… nothing more than a blip in time for you.

Deadwood S3 gallery
I love wasting my time browsing through galleries, so I'm always frustrated when I want caps and I can only find them in zips. So, to take matters into my own hands, I made my own screencap gallery!
Don't mock the simplicity of it, because that's as complicated as I can go HTML-wise:) Things that I'll definitely be capping sometime in the future: Carnivàle S1, Being Human, Coupling, Ashes to Ashes, Deadwood S2, some movies.

So, I contacted Photobucket.
I guess it didn't have anything to do with my Pro-account expiring, but I still don't know what exactly caused it. In my very first mail I mentioned I have no problem uploading things, so they replied that they tested uploading and it worked for them. huh? I replied again saying the issue wasn't uploading, because the pictures were already uploaded and looking fine until they suddenly had a drop in quality.
Their final conclusion:
We are fairly certain, that there may have been a technical issue at the time
of upload which caused the reduction in filesize, and that perhaps, you did
not notice this at the time of upload.
...right. 'Cause I do not see the difference between a pixellated blob and a head.
Anyway, it would really suck if this was actually true, because that would mean none of you could've ever saved the hq-versions of my icons. And I need those!
I've re-uploaded my last three icon post (except for an icon or two I don't have anymore), but those are the only posts I still have the icons of. So, if you've saved some of my icons and you could send them my way, I would be eternally grateful. Please?

what the hell?
2 months ago, I bought a paid Photobucket account that has now expired, and suddenly all my pictures look like they've been saved in low quality.
See the difference:
is now 
I didn't have this problem before I bought a paid account. So basically I'm being "punished" for actually giving Photobucket money in the first place, as everything would've stayed the same if I hadn't.
It seems okay again when I upload new pictures, but I don't have every icon saved on my computer so now there'll be low-quality icons where there were pretty ones before:(

Gay Times brings the Jack/Ianto this month, and you can see it online yourself here.
Here are the delicious pictures, and the article is worth reading as well!
( It's just another relationship on television. I hope the days are gone when it's an issue for anyone. )
+ request icons will be posted this week or possibly next week!

Rewatching this movie, it seems I had forgotten just how ridiculous this movie is (not to mention Dick Van Dyke's "accent"), but this scene is just one big happy energetic group dance. What's not to love?
And now I won't post until the requests, I promise:)

+ Back from Sweden! Stockholm is amazingly pretty. Lots of water, amazing architecture and nature and lovely designs everywhere. We were very lucky with the weather there (sunny and about 11 °C). Less so in Sundsvall where we stayed, though it was pretty cool to see the rivers being frozen and lots of snow when it wasn't actually freezing anymore. (yes, this is a weird thing for me) But I had a great time !
+ DW was...okay, I guess. Loved the arc-building in the last scenes and Malcolm. Though I was thinking the whole time Martha could've easily been written into this one.
+ The spoilery filming pics for the last DW specials are making me ridiculously happy. I hope it will actually make sense in the end, but just seeing everyone will probably shut down my rational-thinking-abilities anyway.
+ How great has Dollhouse come to be? Loved the last episode. I feel it's finally found the right balance between Joss-humour and intentional this-is-making-me-so-uncomfortable. Even if Elizah still can't do anything besides Faith.
+ Watch Kings, people. If Dollhouse+Kings get cancelled, 2 of my 3 must-download shows will be gone:(
EDIT: apparently Kings has been cancelled already. Sigh.
+ New Ashes to Ashes starts monday the 20th! EEEE! I miss Alex's big hair, though.
+ I know I'm being ridiculously slow on the request icons but I'm getting them done, I promise.

I'm leaving for a trip to Sweden tomorrow, so I won't be checking LJ.
Will be back in time for the DW special!

Okay, I caved in and watched the pilot for Kings...and it was amaaaazing. Besides the show just being pretty and the music being phenomenal, the story is compelling, the writing is great, Ian McShane is of course magnificent,...
It's based on the Bible's David&Goliath, but I probably missed half the references and still liked it, because they seem to be building their own mythology. Here's a trailer for the rest of the season, it's got fragments of unaired episodes so it's a bit spoilery but I think it shows the essence and feel of the show.
Seriously, go. Watch. I haven't liked a pilot this much since Pushing Daisies.

Yeah yeah I know, how very uncool of me to still watch Heroes, let alone pimp it. I recently saw Heroes in a list of "worst TV-shows still on" along with the most horrible reality-tv shows, and wth this volume does not deserve that. It's far from perfect, but it should be a crime that this volume, which is fairly decent, only has half the viewers the awful, awful volume three still had when it ended.
In conclusion, it's back to being a silly, fun show with the occasional Great Moment instead of the MOST EPIC HOUR OF TELEVISION it was trying to be.
