This is my official, "it's xmas eve and I'm Jewish and bored" post. If you are also Jewish and bored, consider this your invitation to play in comments! (If you're not Jewish but still bored, you can have a Jew-for-the-day pass and come play too.)

Oh, and to all who are celebrating, have a wonderful holiday.

Oh my god, me too. I've been terrified since they announced it was a prequel. ...Well, actually, I've been terrified since I watched Enterprise Nemesis came out.

Ooh, a live album could be awesome. His other albums are rather lovely, though, and they were studio, weren't they?

That is also a good point. He is all over the place, and I get tired just reading about it. Those interviews that have him seeming unhappy about Torchwood filming schedules have me concerned for just this reason. He must be exhausted.

It's a scary, scary world for trek fen, isn't it?

Honestly, I don't like his other albums that much. Swings Cole Porter is nice, but the others feel bland to me. Especially when compared to his live performances.

Yeah, reading those interviews was very much a "oh fuck" moment for me, because it means that one of the following is true:

a) John's trying to negotiate for TW S3 and wants all the leverage he can get.
b) John's decided not to do TW S3 and is easing it into the public consciousness.
c) John's just that tired.
d) Any combination of the above.

I have no problem with option a, and I'd be sad if option b were true because I love John in Torchwood, but what worries me is option c. Because if he's that tired wrapping up Torchwood and coming off his album publicity, I hate to think what two shows a day in Panto is going to do to him.

It is. And to think, there were days when the biggest problem for Trek fen was that they were going to kill of Jadzia.

Swings Cole Porter was the one I was thinking of, honestly. XD And some of Reflections from Broadway. There's something about John singing 'Try to Remember'... (Of course, that may be because when I saw The Fantasticks in NYC, the Mute reminded me of Ianto something terrible.)

That man really just needs to stop for a while. I think all of his projects would improve, too. But I really just hope it's option a.
