Okay, I've been a little grumpy about this Tron remake thing. I mean, I _love_ Tron, but it also seemed to be the movie on the TV every single time I wound up in the ER in college (from my own medical mishaps to friends getting gay bashed). But then popfiend linked to the trailer for the new thingy. Um, yeah, I'm on board. Also can I just pause to say that there were some things about the '80s that were fucking great? I loved how much time we spent obsessing on how sexy the future was going to be solely because we really fucking hated Reagan and hey, let's play Space Invaders.

Last night we finished season 3 or Buffy, and started season 4.

I really don't know why the Buffy/Angel plotline annoys me SO MUCH. It's well done. It hits all the right notes. It's the kind of emotional suffering I tend to care about. But somehow I don't get why either of them like each other. And I feel like a hypocrite about that considering I'm all over the Jack/Ianto relationship which has a lot of the same problems (they get together WHY? the age difference is WHAT?). Maybe it's just that David Boreanaz's acting is nothing to write home about. Don't know.

LOVED the moment when all the kids stand up to fight. That's some fantastic shit. Was, believe it or not, sort of sad to see the principal get eaten. Don't love the psychic coma Buffy/Faith crap (yes, I'm complaining about a lack of realism in a show with demon ascensions, shut up).

What the hell was that whole Wesley/Cordelia thing? Like, worst kiss ever because they apparently have negative chemistry in actual practice or because Wesley has no experience at all or what? Sadly, I still sort of like them together in a where's the Cordelia/Wesley pegging fic, thanks way.

And Giles! He gets around, now doesn't he?

Also, Sunnydale U. is so conspicuously the high school set redressed it's hilarious. (Except apparently I'm wrong and just think everything in California looks alike).

Someone caught my epic blunder. Ignore previous and follow below:

DW, Series 1, 2 (make sure you catch the Christmas specials as they aren't always packaged with the series)
Torchwood Series 1
DW, Series 3
Torchwood Series 2
DW, Series 4 + specials through Planet of the Dead
Torchwood, Children of Earth
DW, Waters of Mars
DW, End of Time pt.s 1 & 2

is the linear/thematic timeline.

HOWEVER, there is a reveal that comes at the end of DW, Series 3 that creates a different timelime if you want to watch Jack's story in chronological order, which involves going back into series 1, 2 and 3 and watching certain episodes AFTER DW, EoT.
