From the Isle of Man...

[fajrdrako]

I'm in Douglas, and it's beautiful.

I should go to stay on an island somewhere every year. I loved the ferry crossing - all spray and horizon and and Man appearing in the distance.

First thing I noticed at the tourist office: a poster of John Barrowman, advertising his concert.

First a shower, then some sightseeing. Maybe I have time to go to Castletown today?

Speaking of Torchwood, did you see this quote from Russell T. Davies? It made me LOL.

Question: What do you make of the fan backlash?

Russell T. DAVIES: It’s not particularly a backlash. What’s actually
happening is, well, nothing really to be honest. It’s a few people
posting online and getting fans upset. Which is marvelous. It just
goes to prove how much they love the character and the actor. People
often say, ‘Fans have got their knives out!’ They haven’t got any
knives. I haven’t been stabbed. Nothing’s happened. It’s simply a few
people typing. I’m glad they’re typing because they’re that involved.
But if you can’t handle drama you shouldn’t watch it. Find something
else. Go look at poetry. Poetry’s wonderful.


Question: Can you confirm that Ianto is, in fact, dead?

DAVIES: I’m afraid so. He’s a wonderful actor. I’ve worked with him
before. I’m a big fan of his and I [look forward to] watching his
career prosper. But death is death in this case. It would devalue the
entire plot if we brought him back.

Question: But it’s a risky thing to kill off such a popular character.

DAVIES: Absolutely. There’s a risk that some people won’t come back to
watch now that Ianto’s gone. I thank them for watching the show and I
recommend they go watch Supernatural, because those boys are
beautiful. And don’t tell me they’re brothers. [Laughs] Not in my mind.

I love the way Davies answers questions. And I love it that he appreciates the Winchester boys.
