I’m very glad to see Kyle back and Jordan Collier just gets hotter every season. The man is simply magnetic. I really could not stand him in season 1, but by now I’ve done a complete turnaround and I have a feeling that this season I’m actually going to be rooting for him.

Another thing I’d forgotten is that the guy who plays Lorne on Stargate Atlantis plays Agent Garrity on The 4400. And I love him! I love him on both shows, but more on The 4400 than Stargate. And he’s always been something of a bit player on both shows, so I’m hoping that his increased presence in the season premiere means we’ll be seeing a lot more of him.

And now for some episode specifics.

So, Kyle took Promicin because of Shawn? Awwwwww. I just love these two together. And I’d really love to know what Kyle’s superpower is going to turn out to be. I guess we will find out next week! So the redhead was right about giving Shawn a big dose of the green stuff. Now, is she someone who took Promicin herself or is she maybe someone from the future? Hmmmm.

I love that Jordan can take away the powers given by Promicin. He is so right. We don’t need another God stand-in when he’s pretty much pitch perfect in the role himself. How did we go from Jordan being L. Ron Hubbard to Jesus?

Okay, it is now more clear to me than ever that Captain Jack Harkness has become my favorite character in the Whoverse. I much prefer him to No. 10. He’s on the short list of “default fictional characters of my soul”.  Funnily enough, it was seeing Jack and 10 together that made me realize I will never love 10 as much as I loved Nine and I’m liking him less and less this season.

I am so full of ridiculous love for Jack. Just seeing him run like hell trying to catch up to the Tardis before it left. When 10 saw him on the monitor and just fired up the Tardis to leave him, in that moment I really hated him. I don’t hate him now, but I don’t think I’ll ever recover completely from that moment.  Jack’s life has been basically fucked ever since he met up with the Doctor and Rose.

As for the episode, loved it to pieces. Derek Jacobi is made of AWES! and JOHN SIM! OMG OMG OMG! How am I going to survive to next week?? HOW????  And the whole conversation between Jack and Ten and Ten telling him it was Rose who made Jack immortal. I just asdfghjklQ!

Did everyone notice Barrowman was in the actual credits and not just a guest star? That really pleased me (have I mentioned I love Jack like Whoa?). So does this mean we have him until the end of the season? Or is the season just about over anyway? Hmm. I guess it is, isn’t it? That was episode 11, part two is next week and I’m guessing they’ll extend this story until episode 13 since it seems doubtful they could wrap it up with just one ep. And we only get 13 eps right? 2 MORE EPS WITH JACK, YAY! (I assume!)

AND THEN WHEN DOES TORCHWOOD START OMG WHEN??

I LOVE JACK HARKNESS. THE END.

Mission Impossible 3: As much as I find Tom Cruise the person entirely creepy and just sort of skin-crawlingly gross, he still kinda does it for me in movies. I didn’t think he would and so skipped MI-3 in the movie theatre, but I quite enjoyed it. It was MUCH better than Mission Impossible 2. Of course, Philip Seymour Hoffman is a way better villain than Dougray Scott! So that’s really not saying much. But overall, I enjoyed it.

Alexander: Surprisingly enjoyable – despite the fact that Angelina Jolie is actually a year younger than Colin Farrell and they did virtually nothing to age her to make her look old enough to be his mother, and despite the fact that Colin’s dye job was terrible, and despite the fact that there was no make-out scene with Jared Leto. It was about a billion times better than Troy, but a 100 times less good than Gladiator. I love Colin. And Leto was so fucking pretty.

The Art of War: I watched it for 27 minutes and then deleted it on the assumption that it was never going to pick-up speed and become interesting. I learned my lesson from watching Mr & Mrs Smith almost all the way through. If the movie doesn’t look like it is really going anywhere or getting action-y in the first half hour, delete it!

Poseidon: this almost got deleted during the first half hour as well, and then Josh Lucas leaped into a fiery tank of water and swam to the other side and I was hooked. Also, he is pretty when wet. Actually, he’s just pretty. Stupid movie, but I watched it all the way through.

The Monkey King: It’s four hours. I love Thomas Gibson like whoah, but I watched a half hour or maybe a bit longer last night and I think it is going to hit the delete pile this evening when I get around to turning the tv on again.

Tonight I might watch King Arthur and Walk the Line. I also have about four DVDs to watch, but I will probably wait until I’ve cleared most of the movies off the TiVo.

Other things Currently sitting on the TiVo:

Special Unit 2 (5 episodes) — I usually watch it when I’m only paying half-attention and surfing the web

Painkiller Jane (4 episodes) – ditto
The Tudors (6 episodes) – may wind up deleted unwatched
The Last Sentinel – Katee Sackoff! Some rubbish scifi channel movie. Will I end up watching it? Who can say!
28 Days Later – seen it already, but I may want to see it again
London – Chris Evans, Jason Stathom. Unlikely I’ll actually watch it
Down in the Valley — Edward Norton. Hmm, maybe I will watch this tonight
Damnation Alley — a 70s post-apocalyptic movie. I may even get around to watching it
Reign of the Gargoyles — Stone gargoyles brought to life by the Nazis. Scifi channel movie, of course! And how could I not watch it, yeah?
Roswell (6 episodes) -season 3 eps, so they’ll sit and wait until I’ve seen all of season 2
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada — Barry Pepper. I love him, but this has been sitting on the TiVo since January so I bet I never watch it.
Road to Ruin – A Peter Weller movie I haven’t seen yet. I will probably at least watch the first half hour eventually, because — Peter Weller. OMG I LOVE HIM LIKE WHOAH! But he does a lot of bad movies and many of them don’t make it past the half hour mark.
Madison – James Caviezel. Also on TiVo since January. I already deleted another movie of his unwatched, but I may get around to at least giving this one a go. Maybe. Okay, maybe not.
De-Lovely – destined to be deleted unwatched
The Chronicles of Narnia — I’ll probably get to this sometime this week
Love and Death on Long Island – Jason Priestly, someday maybe. But it’s been sitting on the TiVo since last July LOL
Hotel Rwanda – someday maybe, but has been sitting on TiVo since last April. Heh.
Second Sight (4 episodes) – I’ve watched the others, and will watch these as well… eventually
Backflash – Robert Patrick — has been on TiVo since October 2005, but unlike the other long term inhabitants has been watched in full 3 times and I repeatedly watch various scenes from it. Will likely never be deleted off TiVo ever. If you like Robert Patrick, you have to see this movie. It is fucking AWESOME!!

Now what’s on your TiVo (or DVR)?
