Have you considered January the fifteenth, Doctor Juarez?

Today I was back under 260 again, finally. Yay! The five day moving average won't be there  for a bit yet but things are moving in the right direction. That's the happy news.

The sad news? I had to watch another hour of this train wreck of a show.

Miracle Day: Rendition

I can't even with this show. On the upside, no car chases or explosions or helicopter rocket attacks. On the downside, the running gag in this episode was a male flight attendant being constantly referred to as gay against his objections, with the "payoff" being him plaintively saying, "It was one time, okay?"

Ha.

Ha.

Ha.

Have I mentioned how excellent Children of Earth was, and that it would have allowed Torchwood to go out on a high note. Literally the only thing that caught my attention this episode was a reference to January 15th, which happens to be my birthday. You know what I want for my birthday this year? To never, ever have to watch this show again.

Anyway, that's two episodes of Miracle Day down and only... (let me look this up)... eighty billion more to go? Something like that.

What, you mean Wales is separate? It's like the British equivalent of New Jersey.

Well, you can hurt him a little, but not the face.

Good point. Perhaps, after I finish Blake's 7 and Sapphire & Steele, I should start a grand re-watch and dig back into the b&w era.

Regards the first year weight loss, could the science be that early Doctor Who was more conducive to weight loss than when it went color??? Could color TV be the problem?
