I agree, Lestrade. I just happened to watch Children of Earth because I was bored and the On Demand description looked interesting. After my post-Battlestar Galactica hiatus from TV geekery, I was back in full swing with Torchwood. And I wasn't that into Miracle Day either, but Torchwood over all is great.

I've never seen Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy but I really want to.

To be completely fair to the actors and the story, I'd just come off of a night shift at the hospital when I decided to sit down and watch it (couldn't sleep). I was pretty brain-fried; I may have to watch it again when I'm mentally able to do more than merely take in pictures on the screen.

They cut most of my favorite scenes pfff It's like they made sure to cut all of the tiny bits that made the show a step above. But that's okay because let's be honest; How many people actually waited to watch it on PBS?

LOL, I didn't even know it was on PBS until I came to this site. Oops. And I don't watch Downton Abbey or Doctor Who on PBS either. It's a great station, but I tend to lump all of my TV viewing in one night and I don't have DVR.

^^Night Fever by the Bee Gees was #1 on the day I was born.

What I like about it also is that not only does he 'change' because he actually is not the same person but as a result so does everyone else. It shows how his doppelganger made everyone's lives so much worse by his presence.

I mean AS's character (because I'd mentioned he seemed to me to be unlikable in the beginning). You know...there was much of it that I found kind of...slow? I don't know if that's the word. It was a great story, and well done for the most part. But I did feel like I was missing something. I know that's vague; maybe I should read the book.

Andrew Scott was amazing, as usual. The character he played was so sweet and absolutely NOTHING like Jim Moriarty.

Of course he was. I'm looking forward to finishing it. And...so far his character seems like kind of an a$s...

P.S. I talked to my Irish (from Dublin) friend last night and was shocked to learn that she doesn't know who Andrew Scott is, and didn't recognize any of the shows or movies I mentioned him being in. Whaaatt? I know more about some Irish media than you do??

YAY! Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I'm enjoying it so far. Really interested to see what happens. Have to say, I prefer Andrew with an Irish accent. The English one doesn't suit him as well as it does, say, David Tennant (though I love his Scottish accent.)

Haha! That's too funny.

Oh, yeah! Believe me, Hugh Jackman is a lot easier to look at than an acutal wolverine. (I mean the rodent, not necessarily the football players. Some of them are OK, too)

Oh yes...and wolverines are MEAN little suckers.
