"And just for a second there I felt so alive."
Was I the only one to think OMGBUSHWACKED at the beginning of the episode? That was so Firefly come back to us. ...with Ianto in the role of River? Or something.
Anyway. Fairly good episode, I found. I like seeing that ruthless side of Jack. Safety first, and his people first. This sort of moral ambiguity is how I like my (big damn) heroes best.
SEE HOW I'M STILL NOT DOING NANO. I have willpower. Because each episode just makes me want to a little bit more.
I know I should get annoyed by the kiss of life thing. Because it's a bit of an easy way out, or at least it's in danger of becoming that. But I don't know, I'm still not. Not simply because that was Ianto Jack was kissing either. Although, yay! Even though this episode dismissed the asexual!Ianto theory, yay for the Ianto-centric, and yay for raising some very valid points (how outside the team Ianto is, how Jack for all his friendliness never cared enough to ask about his life, the dirty work they keep asking of him, the impact of the Cybermen war on the surviving members of TW, etc). And I now want to read Jack/Ianto, if anybody has any good recs.
I'm also surprised at myself for enjoying the Gwen/Owen kiss and consecutive dialogue. It felt true. And I still adore her boyfriend, just because he's so very random average guy.
Also, yay for the mention of Suzie (they do remember her), yay for the mutilated doctor and Gwen feeling that Owen was hard neither of which would have flown on Who, and yay for them not firing Ianto or killing him off.
I only wanted to slap Gwen a couple times in the whole episode, which bodes well.
All in all, yeah, I liked this episode. However, I'm starting to wonder if I'm not going to keep waiting for the show to hit a really awesome note until the end of the season. Oh well. At least I'll wait with Jack, who is very good company.
In other news, no miracle. Kaylee's still dead. Although I think it might just be the screen, in which case I should at least be able to retrieve the stuff that's on her.
I'm not going to get depressed over it.
kowaio? Happy birthday again! Let me know what you guys think of the movie.

Par contre, le reste de l'épisode m'a laissée sur ma fin. Je trouve que les jalons sont posés un peu trop grossièrement... Alors peut-être qu'ils n'ont pas le temps ni les moyens d'avancer plus "finement", mais grrrr, j'attends aussi ZE episode.
no subject
Mais bon, pour l'instant je préfère à la S2 de Who, donc bon.
no subject
Exactement.
J'ai revu l'épisode 4 et je me suis rendue compte que ce qui ne m'avait vraiment pas plus c'était la performance de l'acteur qui joue Ianto. Du coup ça m'a bloquée sur le reste. J'attends; au pire y'a du Captain Jack à zieuter et y'a plus qu'à attendre qu'il s'en tape un ou une. Au pire.

Je trouve ça incroyablement drole que le bisou magique nécessite d'être à pleine bouche, parce que tout le monde sait que les baisers chastes ont un pouvoir thérapeutique ridicule.

Ben sans aller jusqu'à la semi necrophilie (il ressucite pas les morts quand même si ?) ça serait au moins du semi viol ("oui, Ianto, j'ai abusé de toi pendant que tu étais insconcient, mais c'était pour te reveiller! Non non, attend que je trouve une meilleur formulation").
no subject
"Oui, Ianto, j'ai abusé de toi pendant que tu étais inconscient, mais c'était pour te réveiller... et tu as aimé ça." *insert Ianto spluttering* "La preuve? Vérifie ton pantalon." *taps twice on his cheek, and moves away to put his clothes back on* "Right. The world to save."

I feel like Torchwood hasn't really hit it's stride yet, but having Jack around certainly helps - he's so pretty!
no subject
And yeah, exactly. TW isn't quite there yet, but there's Jack. Heh.

Bon cela dit l'iBook de mon père est plus vieux que le mien et tient encore très bien (évidemment, lui ne l'a jamais fait tomber par terre). Il doit au moins avoir cinq ans. Il rame un peu, mais c'est simplement parce que maintenant on a l'habitude de tellement mieux. T'achètes à peine un truc qu'il est déjà obsolète, de nos jours. ;)
no subject
C'est pour ça que je prends mon temps pour choisir le nouveau, plus j'attends , plus l'ordi sera meilleur ! Mais bon, avec cette logique, t'achètes jamais rien !

Can't they tell in advance how much the repairs would cost?
Well, if you were to get soon a new one anyway, it's not as bad as it could have been, but still.... I have troubles picturing you without a laptop on your lap... ^_^
no subject
Heh. Worse yet - picture me surviving on a PC laptop in the meantime.
no subject
Hmm... No, that's not worse. It's still a laptop. I personnally don't care whether people have a Mac or something else. The important visual element is the laptop. I you have a laptop on any kind on your lap, the thought it less terrifying... ;-p You can still write
NaNofics on it.no subject
Not that it's a sore spot with myself or anything. :p
That said, I'm not sure I could, actually. Write anything on Simon. The very thought makes me cringe. I don't know. My muses are Mac-friendly, clearly.
no subject
itfics! I swear!Well, you just have to *imagine* you're using a Mac. Use the power of your mind to trick your muses!!!
no subject
It's not like my fic muses have been around much anyway. Apart from Jack, obviously, who's still pushing for a Nano. Shut up shut up shut up. ;) You doing it this year? Or did you outright give up on the idea after last year?
no subject
Well, last year I give up right from the start because of the long annoying boring pissing off speech from the guy I was dating. This year nobody bored the hell out of me, so I can totally do the Nano. Except I keep having ideas for short stories, not novels... Or actually, for short stories in a BD style mostly, because it's all so graphical.... So I still don't know. I'm bound to always have a week less each year anyway, because of the Utopiales.

Torchwood wise, I was totally oblivious to the Firefly nod *bad brain no cookies*.
I loved the angst in this episode but I have to agree with Grimma on this one, it came a bit out of left field, I mean it would have been better if we had seen an hint or two in the previous episodes. Some sort of build up.
It wasn't bad by any standards but it didn't exactly convinced me either. We'll see where they go from here, I really hope they don't reset the characters as in "everybody is happy and best pals again".
All in all, I'm still waiting for the show to hit its stride.
Oh yeah and I really hope they won't forget to address Owen "kinda date rape" and "kinda sadistic" tendencies by hooking him with Gwen ! I did enjoy the scene and the dialog but I do want to see the above issues addressed.
no subject
Heh! Bad Browncoat, Fred, bad Browncoat. My mind jumped straight there.
Well no, see, some stuff was actually foreshadowed. Not the Cyberwoman part, but the Ianto's not part of the team and constantly cleaning up after them bit. And it's that bit that I found most interesting, personally. Although I have to say I wasn't always impressed by the actor's performance, sadly. He shouldn't have gone so all out so early in the episode.
Knowing RTD, I very much doubt every is gonna be happy and best pals again. You know how good he is at writing strained 'relationships'. Besides, we had that line of Ianto's about watching Jack suffer and die, and that had better be a foreshadowing. So.
See, I thought that they'd already somehow addressed that last episode, with how much Owen was shaken by feeling the raped girl's terror. He was seriously unhinged. And I'm sadly not sure they're going to do much more about it than that. As for the Gwen snog, I'm really not sure it's actually going to lead anywhere, because you also have Jack to take into account. Not that I'm not praying to all the gods I know (...mostly Joss and Tim) that they won't go down the Jack/Gwen road, but. GOD hopefully they won't.
