Paul McGann is totally canon, God dammit!

The idea of Torchwood USA may bring me much hilarity, but it also goes to show I am a complete hypocrite what with my absolute adoration of the Fox Networks last foray into the Whoniverse. But the TVM is made of win! Not much sense, or coherence, but win all the same!

I am going to shortly embark on an epic giant picspam detailing this win (shortly meaning whenever I have defeated my laziness) since I have figured out how to take my own screencaps. The old fashioned way using prt scrn and pasting in paint, even though in practicing with it I realized how insanity-driving time consuming that way is. But then having to stare at Pail McGann is a burden I am willing to take.

I was playing about taking some caps from the DVD behinds the scenes features, and that turned out to be a good thing as I ended up leaving the media player buttons on and did not notice when I was saving the pictures. So they are a bit wonky, but at least I'll know to avoid that mistake next time. Unless I forget.

Anyway, a few TVM behind the scenes caps.

And some poor chickens looking very bedraggled in the pouring rain. Aww. Why do you hate chickens so, Vancouver?

Because while I am totally against Torchwood USA.. I really want to see ACTUAL CANON.

Heh, the TVM's as if a RTD script traveled back in time and mated with American 90s sci fi, and some convoluted back story got in there too, but it is fun. Though having read the making of book some of the initial ideas for it were awful, like the TARDIS talking and having the voice of the Doctor's father oO.

OOhh shiney! I probably should add this to my list of things to see.

What programme do you use to watch DVD's?

I love it though it does have the protection of nostalgia for me. And it does work as a bridge between the old series and the new one, this is where the Doctor started *gasp* kissing girls.

This pc just uses Window's Media Player, which is why it's a pest to get screencaps, my old pc came with a nice media player installed that could take screen caps and save them put them in a folder at just the click of a button. Sadly nothing else on that pc works now.

Not kissing girls! *is aghast*

Yeah Media player is a bit of a bugger. Can I suggest VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html which is free, plays any type of file/dvd and is easy to take caps with. I've had no problems with it and found it to be quite user friendly.

I know, he could catch girl germs!

Oh VLC is much better, thank you. That makes things much easier.
