Well, this is enough to finally make me go and give Book of the Long Sun a go. I kept bouncing off it on casual pick-ups and this is clearly why: it has to be read in sequence, now I know!

Glad to have been of assistance!

I miss Torchwood. It was a great and zany comfort of messed-up perfection and awfulness (both on plot and body horror) levels in so many ways. It wasn't good, but it was exactly right.

I'm loving it. I actually even think that quite a lot of is good; that's just slightly orthagonal to my affection.

Children of Earth was an interesting denouement.

I thought for years it had been my introduction to Torchwood. I was not correct about that.

Torchwood is also the only time that I've walked around a location that's also a filming location and had quite the doubled vision of it in rain-slicked night while it being bright day; Cardiff waterfront was a good choice. The shrine that is kept up from [redacted spoiler] is both impressive and poignant in the sheer emotive response it maintained for people, years since screening ended.

I really like that. I always thought Yale dropped the ball by not keeping their statue of Denholm Elliott on Old Campus after filming wrapped on the fourth Indiana Jones.
