Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle ch 208 + Saiyuki Reload: Gunlock

[meganbmoore]

So, I'm sitting here, reminding myself that, cold or no cold, I have to go to work today or I forfeit my holiday pay for yesterday.Then I remembered that there was a new Tsubasa chapter, even though I keep meaning to let the chapters build up again. (Also, aren't scanslators allowed to take Christmas off?

OMG WTF WHAT??? Did Cloney just kill real!Syaoran? WHAT?!?! Not to mention taking down Kurogane and Fai...

But you know, as much as I love Clamp, action scenes are not their strength.
 
Also, I got bored in the third episode of Torchwood (I also learned who was involved in another spoiler I knew of and EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW) and switched back to Saiyuki Reload: Gunlock, which I had just started when the old DVD player died.  I couldn't remember what episode it was, so, while finding my place, I think I listened to Dokugakuji talk about how all that's left of Kougaiji is a cold and heartless killing machine.

I am rather fond of that line.

And I have now seen Sanzo as a tree, and Goku barking like a dog.

And...err...you know, I'm very fond of Lirin, but when did she become a serious threat to Sanzo?  And when was she possessed by Serious and Patient?

Given that this chapter has come about after one of the recent "breaks for data gathering," I think we can guess they remembered and went "oh yeah, need to make that happen."

(I think there was whispering of "Now, who's the main protag, bitch." )

So... Torchwood, yeah? I gave up on the first series after 3 episodes, too. It did get "better" (relatively.) But the issue with that show is that it takes itself too seriously. As opposed to the new Who, which never forgets that it's a very silly fun show beneath all the spooky.

That may have been part of the problem with Torxhwood. If it had treated itself as silly, I might have done better with it. But it seemed to think it was pretty dark and edgy.

The second series was better comparatively.
