Torchwood!

Just gets better and better and better. And considering that it was pretty bloody good from episode one, that's saying something. Cutting for spoilery stuff.

This week's episode, which I only managed to catch tonight was definitely one of the best so far. Ignore the fact that there was no GBLT stuff - there was some very hot sexual moments (which led to one of the most tender moments so far which actually made me cry)

There's been a humungous amount of bi-sexuality to make my little Bi heart sing in happiness, Let me see...

One full on female snog (watched by others, which added to the frisson)

Two male snogs

Various poignant ties between Jack and the Doctor - they play (very subtly) some of the theme from the main DW series at those moments - very clever stuff.

Jack/Ianto OTP. There was a lovely moment this week when they were talking about last kisses (forgive me if i'm wrong but I missed the first three minutes and I assume they were talking about last kisses) and Ianto said he'd kissed his (Cyberwoman) girlfriend last, and not Jack (which was the actual truth - Jack kissed him because he was nearest and they all thought they were just about to die) and Jack gave him a look that hurt.

There's a rather nice Jack/Ianto arc coming along, it would be nice if there were to continue with it, but personally, I think that Ianto is too human, too vulnerable and too young for Jack - I think Jack will realise it and then I will cry buckets. Out of the five of them, Ianto just isn't able to cope with what's happening around him. He's not a scientist, or a warrior or a tekkie. He's just a computer operator and a valet and a facilitator. I'll be interested to see what his mental state is next week after what he went through this week. In fact, as much as I liked the ending, I was bitterly dissapointed that the ending didn't focus on Ianto. He needed physical and mental comfort, as much as Blodwen did. More, if anything. She's a ruddy policewoman, he's not.

*huggles the Ianto*

I'm also quite impressed by Owen. He's not at all my type but OMG! I've gone to bed with a few Owens because of them doing what Owen did to Blodwen. Irresistible!

Random Torchwood facts.

Russell T Davies was a writer on Queer as Folk.

John Barrowman was rejected for the part as Will in Will & Grace for appearing too straight. *giggles*

I think there's more female snoggage next week.

And I see the Americans are going to remake Little Britain and Life on Mars. That's so WRONG.

I loved the latest episode and have been writhing away in frustration cause no one has been talking about it. *writhes a bit more*

But anyway, yes, Owen! They're not terribly subtle about the supposed UST (or maybe that's just Gwen), but he is a hot little bastard, and I like them getting it on much more than I would Gwen/Jack. Interestingly enough, thewe were also some looks from Jack when Owen said he'd snogged Gwen, although that wasn't nearly as much fun as with Ianto. I like to think Jack took him home afterwards and took care of him. As it were. *g*

But a good episode, and those people were bloody scary. I had to avert my eyes at certain points. :)

i'm surprised my flist isn't stuffed with it, I'd have thought that everyone would be downloading it. I mean - REAL SLASH on maintime tv!!

I just watched it again, so good!!!

I agree with all your comments. Ianto is too young and vulnerable for Jack - what Jack really needs is a 900-year-old Time Lord. But. That doesn't mean Jack and Ianto can't have a go and see what happens.

Which was the moment that made you cry? (I can guess, but I might be wrong...)

forgive me if i'm wrong but I missed the first three minutes and I assume they were talking about last kisses

Yes. Gwen asked. Not, perhaps, her most tactful question, under the circumstances. I love it when she does that - gets herself in trouble.

there's more female snoggage next week.

And with Tosh, too! Hooray!

I would be very happy if the next epi started with Jack and Ianto in Jack's living space with Jack administering to Ianto's bruises. And what's so wonderful about the series is that it MIGHT have happened, unlike most of my slashy shows where the slash is in my fevered imagination!

*G*

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is one of the joys of this show.... the sky's the limit. We may not see Jack tending to Ianto's bruises (physical or emotional) but we know we could. And might. It adds an extra resonance to the interpersonal action.

oh and the bit that made me cry was when Owen folded Blodwen in his arms and said "now you do" and was all manly.

I am so behind on Torchwood. I have the eppys downloaded just no time to watch:( I am hoping this weekend since I will not be going anywhere I can sit in my rocker in front of my computer and watch....

and of course we are remaking the hits shows of other countries, it is what the networks here live for. :D:D

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Yes! catch up - it's SOOOO worth it!

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

Remake LB, the show that shocked even me at times?

Oh, that's going to be interesting in a watered-down, expurgated version.

Not. ::rolls eyes::

Sheesh. Either take it as is (which I admit would be incomprehensible in parts; some things you have to be a native to get the joke) or leave it alone.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I know. It's a worrying trend. Next they'll be remaking Monty Python

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

They couldn't. They just couldn't. ::is firm::

*whimpers*

I have seen one ept. A friend brought it over and allowed us to watch it. I want more damnit! But I don't even think it's playing where I live. I haven't seen any ads for it on Tv. Dear gods, I think its really good.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

There are download comms. torchwood_eps is one. It's well it if your PC is up to it. Mine isn't, sadly. I can't even see the new Lucius clip until tomorrow.

[lovemefearme.livejournal.com]

Have I told you how much I love you lately? Thank you ever so much!

[maidenform.livejournal.com]

What is this show? I've never heard of it. Is it a UK thing? It sounds awesome, though, and I want to watch it.

Even though I am not familiar with those two shows, I agree that that is wrong. If we want to watch them, we can watch the British shows. :)

It's a spin off from Doctor Who, but adult, edgy and AFTER the watershed. Captain Jack is the main character who was on DW for a while

should be able to download here

Yanks making Little Britain??

Yeah but no

[erastes.livejournal.com]

*snorts*

they just COULDN'T. They don't have any Vickys.

And I bet they miss out the gay Prime Minister's Aide, too!

And the only gay in the village? He'd be beaten to death with a Tire Iron (deliberate spelling)

I cannot even begin to wrap my brain around it. I feel quite sorry for the americans because they never get see anything different. Different places, different accents. Everything ends up being remade for them and you can't help but feel it diminshes their world so very much. Easy to think you are an island if you never to get to see past your own borders.
