MTV, Torchwood and Harry Potter
May. 29th, 2011 01:21 pmhttp://geek-news.mtv.com/2011/05/26/10-non-spoilery-thoughts-about-the-first-three-episodes-of-torchwood-miracle-day/
This is probably one of the most unprofessional articles I've ever read, but whatever...
However, two things are simply unacceptable.
Torchwood famously killed off all of their boring, boring cast members over the course of the run, leaving the only three interesting ones for the last series
What the fuck? Did you just call Tosh and Owen boring times two? Are you serious? This just...does not compute with me. Maybe he never saw "Fragments" which basically changes how you look at all their other episodes?
Seasons one and two suffered from being a too Americanized version of a British show
Uh, what? I mean, yeah, I get how my mom thought it seemed "like X-Files except with more science parts" but she was also basing that on bits and pieces as she walked through the room. It was basically "Doctor Who" for people who wanted a little more sex, violence and language.
Now, if you were getting at the fact that the reboot of Doctor Who and thus Torchwood were heavily inspired/borrowed from Joss Whedon and his series...you should just say so...
I notice there's no question for if you liked the first two seasons better than Children of Earth...
Also on MTV, June 5th is the MTV Movie Awards, you can vote here:

Yes, I keep assuming someone will win other than Twilight. Sorry, Tom Felton, this is who I want to win Best Villain.
But speaking of Harry Potter...
It's weird to see him all grown up and remember the first time I ever saw Daniel Radcliffe on MTV. He must have been like twelve or thirteen and subjected to TRL. He just looked completely overwhelmed at being in this enclosed space with all these screaming girls. Then, they bring out this little thirteen year old from outside and she's dressed in only a towel so they're introduced and he's right at boobs level. His eyes never leave her boobs and you can just see him thinking BREASTS, BREASTS, BREASTS!!! It was definitely a Jeff moment if I had known at that point who Jeff was.
Unfortunately, beyond a few seconds, Youtube has failed me but I suppose that's for the best...probably horribly embarrassing for Dan now, lol.
