I still speak RTD

Amazingly, I understood what happened in the final episode of Miracle Day.

Also, I didn't hate it.

I hate the Torchwood team. That hasn't changed. What a bunch of losers! I can't imagine any world where these people would be in charge of any successful operations to save us all.

Or, I may be very happy with the change and start preaching on the street corners against Windows world domination. We shall see.

Hold my virtual hand, for I am terrified by computer innards.

Ta for now from my humble little computer.
