I seem to have missed a day, so I'll do two today. This is what happens when you obsess over the Lost finale, and spend way too much time reading reviews, blogs and meta about it. ;)

Day 17 - Favorite mini series:

This would have to be Torchwood: Children of Earth. This was the series that transformed Torchwood from an average/good TV show into a truly remarkable piece of television. I know not everyone liked it, but I thought it was outstanding.

Day 18 - Favorite title sequence:

True Blood. I love everything about it, from the visuals to the Jace Everett song. Perfect!

OK - that's where you and I differ ... I really liked Torchwood ... and liked this mini series ... but not as part of Torchwood! I wish that I could have had a 3rd season of Torchwood ... then this as a separate story - I'm greedy!

Actually, we don't really differ that much. I loved Torchwood, but it wasn't cutting edge television. It had some wonderful episodes and characters (Captain John *g*), but it also had some real stinkers. It got better in its second season and I would have liked nothing more than to get a third season, as I think it would have been even better than what we'd seen before.

COE was an amazing piece of television, but you're right it was very different to the Torchwood we were used to. But I still love it. It was a grown up version of Torchwood, and as difficult as it was to watch at times, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

I loved Torchwood:Children of Earth.

I've been rewatching Farscape-what a great show.

COE really was an outstanding piece of television.

Farscape was so good!
