The Week in Entertainment

Film: Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day what an enjoyable movie. Predictable, yes, but good formula well done is excellent.

DVD: Two Patrick Troughton Doctor Whos - Seeds of Death and The Mind Robber. I particularly like the Weather Control Station with the levers you set to Dry or Wet.

TV: Nova - a wonderful David Attenborough program (is that a tautology?) on amber. Firehouse Dog - an inoffensive little film. Akeelah and the Bee - an excellent film. I have to admit, I loved the moment when Dylan realized what she was doing. Torchwood - one quibble: if Owen has no breath, how does he talk? But the whole notion of him as fragile is wonderful.

Read: Not the End of the World (for the Nonbelieving Literati, see here). Also two excellent Charles de Lint books, Dingo - a short YA that's just a bit shallow compared to most of de Lint's stuff but still good - and Little (Grrl) LOST (about which I have just a tiny quibble). Deadly Advice by Roberta Isleib. Started Margaret Atwood's Negotiating With the Dead.

And if Owen can't heal, how is it that all the muscle exercise is keeping him in shape?

Here's the real question, though: If the last two plots turned on "faith" and "hope," what's next? Tosh gets to rescue Owen from limbo?

Perhaps the exercise is just keeping him as he is - the energy is keeping his muscles in working shape and his synapses firing?

And with this show, I wouldn't be surprised.

So it was "love" - just not about Owen. Well, he got a trilogy.
