I'm still glowing from the new Torchwood / BSG / Doctor Who. I'm really excited about next weeks episodes, and all the episodes after that! This season of Who feels like it's going to be epic...because it's taking a holiday next year, it feels like this season is building towards the biggest climax yet; going out with a bang and all that - so...yeah. And Battlstar is actually in it's final season, so every episode is kind of HUGE. The previous season left huge questions about most of the main characters, and is forcing the audience to rexamine their choices while trying to determine the fate that awaits them all, so it's just really juicy right now...and hopefully they can keep that momentum as they wind down to the series finale next year.

I got a text message earlier from DJ (who's watching Season 29 of the Whoniverse) that reads: "Fuck!!! The face of Boe just died!! DAMNIT!!" - which made me laugh a lot. I texted him back, and then called Michael, who'd left me some messages and we talked about the new episodes, and other random bits. He said he was going to try to go back to sleep, and now I'm wondering what I'm going to do next. I might read. I might work on my room; I'm really extremly happy with how that's coming along, and I find working on it quite relaxing and pleasurable. I should get something to eat.

Ok. More Doctor Who stuff. My original thought on how the season plays out is in doubt, and there's no way I can figure out exactly how I'd like best to watch it, until it's all aired. But I think it's safe to confirm that I do now how the first 18 episodes (of 38 or 39) should, in my opinion, be viewed:

Season 30:
01 Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
02 Invasion of the Bane
03 Sleeper
04 To the Last Man
05 Meat
06 Revenge of the Slitheen, Part I
07 Revenge of the Slitheen, Part II
08 Adam
09 Partners in Crime
10 Reset
11 The Fires of Pompeii
12 Dead Man Walking
13 Planet of the Ood
14 A Day in the Death
15 Eye of the Gorgon, Part I
16 Eye of the Gorgon, Part II
17 The Sontaran Stratagem [Part I]
18 The Poison Sky [Part II]

I can also say with some certainty that these episodes are placed correctly as well:

35 Turn Left
36 ???
37 Journey's End

However, the order of episodes 19-34 is in question, and while a Christmas Special has been confirmed, it's possible we'll get a mini-episode in November which means there could be 38 or 39 episodes.

Still...those first 18 episodes play off each other extremely well, and I'm very fond of that order.

It's a wonder that people read my blog at all the way I ramble on about nothing...
