Bite Me? I'd Rather Not.

So I read (this Newsweek article) this morning and was completely baffled. Am I the only person who doesn’t think vampires are particularly sexy? I know they’re very in at the moment, but man I just don’t get it. I like vampires in popular culture sure, but I’ve never fantasized about dating one. I adore BTVS , but I never had a thing for Angel or Spike. I recognized that Spike in particular was hot like burning, but I kept going back to he’s a vampire. How would that even work?

Maybe it’s because I’ve never been a night owl. I’m seriously like an old person; I rarely stay up past midnight. How can I date you if you’re only awake while I’m sleeping? Also, they drink blood. Blood. Um, no thank you. Add the lack of a heartbeat and the fact that most of them are centuries old, and you know I just don’t think we would have much in common.

I think the closest I’ve ever come to a vampire crush was back in high school when I went through an Anne Rice faze. I loved Louis, a lot. (I hated Lestat by the way, good grief was that guy insufferable, “I’m awesome, I’m a rock star, people tremble at the sight of my rock hard, snowy abs!” OMG, shut up already.) But the thing about Louis was he hated what he had become, he yearned for humanity but he couldn’t have it. That was kind of hot. Maybe I just like guys who indulge in a bit of self-loathing?

No, I’m just not that into vampires. I’ve always been more of a werewolf girl, myself. I’ll take Oz and Remus over Angel and sparkly people from Twilight any day of the week. At least you only have to deal with their issues once (or three times) a month. Buy them a sturdy cage and you’re golden. Plus, they have heightened senses and they always have a healthy dose of self-loathing. They’re just cooler. I wish the rest of the world agreed with me because there is a serious lack of werewolves in pop culture lately.

Oh, and while I haven’t watched True Blood, I have read the first book in the series. I spent most of it giggling at the absurdity of Bill and shrugging at Eric and his supposed awesomeness. The only character I genuinely liked? Sam. He’s not a werewolf, but he’s a shape shifter which is almost as good. Sookie of course, was too busy flailing over her epic love for the undead guy with a hair fetish to notice him.

I watched the fist episode of the Torchwood mini series last night. Spoilers under the cut.
 

I miss Owen. I just thought I would go ahead and put that out there. That bit at the beginning when Gwen said good morning to Owen and Tosh’s picture kind of killed me. Stupid show.

I totally called Gwen being pregnant. Rhys is going to be so happy. I could have done without Jack and Gwen staring longingly at one another when she found out though. Show, I don’t care how much you insist that Gwen and Jack are epically in love, I will never ship that. Rhys>Jack, there’s just no way around it.

Oh, and Ianto. He has a sister! I love that he has a sister. His couple anxiety was kind of cute, but man I don’t get the appeal of Jack. You could do better, sweetie. Trust me.

Nice misdirect with the doctor guy. I was just warming up to him before he went and shot Jack. Then died. So, I guess we’re not keeping him, then?

Creepy kids, ftw! I approve.

Who was that actress playing Jack’s daughter? She looked very familiar.

Also, they blew up the Hub! Man, I liked the Hub. Where are they going to keep the Weevils now?

Not all that worried about Jack, seeing how we have four nights to go and all.

I miss Owen. Did I mention that?
 

(Please don't spoil me for anything coming up in the next four episodes, I'm watching them as they air on BBCAmerica.)
