Torchwood gets Spiked.

Or Brainic'ed, or various other things if you prefer. In news that most of the rest of my friends list will care about, but which doesn't stir up much enthusiasm from me, James Marsters will be guesting on an episode of Torchwood in this fall's series two. This, of course, falls after Tony Head's go as a fairly forgettable baddie in the actually pretty good Doctor Who episode "School Reunion" from 2006. (He was good, don't get me wrong; I just thought the monsters were actually the weak link in the episode.)

As y'all know, I can't stand Buffy, but that's more because of the writing than the acting, so hopefully I'll enjoy whatever Marsters does here...
