woo!

Good news for the Captain Jack fans - the BBC is doing a spinoff series with Captain Jack from Doctor Who.

The BBC has commissioned the Doctor Who scriptwriter Russell T Davies to make an adult post-watershed spin-off of its most famous sci-fi show.

The new programme will be called Torchwood (an anagram of Doctor Who) and will follow a crack team investigating alien activities and crime in modern-day Britain.

It will feature in its starring role John Barrowman, who played Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who and who will play the same character in Torchwood.

Like the latest version of Doctor Who, which the BBC successfully relaunched this year, Torchwood will be based in Cardiff. Davies, who has just begun writing Torchwood, said the new programme would be aimed at adult audiences and would "have its own, unique identity". He said: "Torchwood will be a dark, clever, wild, sexy, British crime/sci-fi paranoid thriller cop show with a sense of humour - the X Files meets This Life," the latter a reference to the groundbreaking Nineties BBC drama about a group of young lawyers in Bristol.

Engrish report: Saiyuki Reload Gunlock Ep. 3

Took in some more Engrish while eating dinner. I'm being sort of vague about what's going on in the scenes these are from, since it's currently following manga continuity and I know people don't want to be spoiled. I'll be a bit more clear about situations once the story takes a left turn into WTFland, as I have been reliably assured it does.

Guy whose name I didn't catch: Don't be so Nave

Guy whose name I didn't catch: Your left hand is burning (as Gojyos right hand bursts into flame)

Yaone: Attack the metal spirit

Random youkai, as Goku jumps off a cliff: At his height, I don't think he can be saved by anyone.

Sanzo: We are not fools we are not that nave.

Hakkai: I am sorry about that. We are from Lizhi.

Guy whose name I didn't catch, as Sanzo points his gun: That sword! ... The bullet is stuck! I can't button it up!

As a complement to Yaone's name being "Eight hundred mice" in the first episode, Dokugakuji is referred to as "In the corner" in this one.
