TORCHWOOD CoE OH MY GOD
OH MY FUCKING GOD. YOU GUYS. THAT SHOW. IT'S KILLING ME. OKAY.
In the interest of not breaking my capslock key (and also mostly because I watched the episodes last night with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moonangelchan , so I've a) already flailed physically about them and b) had some time to cool off), I have a List.
1. HOLY SHIT, HOW AWESOME WAS GWEN IN, LIKE, EVERY SCENE EVER? Seriously, when I first saw Torchwood, I was a little skeptical about her and everything, but I really feel that especially in this season she's really come into her own. She basically stole the fucking show right out from, well, everyone else. So, thumbs WAY up, Gwen. *LOVES*
1. B) HOW CUTE WERE GWEN AND RHYS? CUTEST THING EVER, Y/Y? They were so adorable and couple-y together! And the whole "You know those conversations you play out in your head...?" thing in the potato truck was probably my favourite scene from that ep. D'awww, you guys! (Side Note: I thought the pregnancy thing was well done, and really, really fabulous and I JUST LOVE GWEN, OK?)
2. I feel like Torchwood does couples really well. Like, not main character couples specifically, but side couples, like Ianto's sister and her hubby. HOW CUTE WERE THEY? ALSO, THAT CAR SCENE WHERE IANTO'S CAR GOT STOLEN AND THE HUSBAND WAS ALL "They drive around the block for a victory lap - come on!" WITH THE FUCKING BRICKS AND OMFFFFFG I LAUGHED SO HARD I WAS TEARING UP. Now, I want a gif of that scene so I can comment with it every time someone uses "*brick'd*" in a post.
3. THE SCENE IN WHICH IANTO, GWEN AND RHYS RESCUED JACK WAS MOTHERFUCKING EPIC, Y/Y? GWEN AND RHYS BEING MARRIED AND PREGNANT! (Gwen at any rate...) THE CEMENT. IANTO SAVING HIS BOYFRIEND WITH A FORKLIFT AND DROPPING HIM OFF THE CLIFF. HOW AWESOME.
4. Frobisher (sp?) wins cookies for being a regrettably sympathetic, tired and overworked man AND ALSO KIND OF A BASTARD, THOUGH WE LOVE HIM DESPITE THIS. I felt so bad for him in basically every scene, where the PM was all "I need you to murder people, Frobisher, and it's all your idea, remember?" and "So you haven't slept in twenty-four hours, Frobisher? That's too bad - won't a national security meeting cheer you up?" and "I need you to be our liason with a hostile alien species that wants to EAT YOUR BABIES Frobisher. Hop to."
4. A) WHO ELSE THOUGHT THE MEETING BTWN ALL THE GOVT OFFICIALS RE: WHICH CHILDREN CAN WE AFFORD TO KILL WAS THE CREEPIEST SHIT EVER?
5. LET'S TALK ABOUT JACK HARKNESS' EXPLODING DICK. (There is actually a point to this, I swear.) So, you know how a bomb was planted inside Jack'sdick stomach so he would blow up the Hub? That somehow led to the idea of a jet-propelled, exploding dick. Belonging to Jack. IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES FOR JIZZING IN HIS PANTS! "Stand over there, Ianto, and take off your clothes." "Why?" "I want to test something." Every time he came, his dick would just be jettisoned off and fly randomly around the room, til it got lodged in a wall or something.
Alternately, "Oh no, there's a bullet heading for Ianto!" "Jack, save me!" "Hang on, I'm coming! *huffhuffhuff*" PWOOSH. JET-PROPELLED DICK TO THE RESCUE! INTERCEPTING THE BULLET, MID-FLIGHT! JACK SAVES THE DAY BY HAVING AN ORGASM!
6. AND ALRIGHT, NOW CAN WE TALK ABOUT IANTO? AND HOW HE'S NOT FUCKING THERE ANYMORE? WHAT, SHOW? THAT'S THREE OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS IN TWO SEASONS, DAMMIT! I'm beginning to think this show has a higher mortality rate than House, and that is just NOT ON. I mean, it was Ianto. Ianto. Ianto GQMF Jones, and what the hell?
I mean, I thought it was an extremely well-done death scene, don't get me wrong. They definitely pulled it off, and I teared up, in between slappingmoonangelchan silly and writhing around in a haze of "OH MYGOD THEY CAN'T - OH MY GOD THEY'RE GOING TO - OH MY GOD THEY DID". B-but it was Ianto, and he was Jack's Love Interest (or Current Fuck), which, come on, shouldn't that have acted as some measure of insurance? HE WAS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER, OK, AND THIS SOON AFTER TOSH AND OWEN? NOT. ON.
EPIC D-FACE. (And angst. LOTS OF ANGST. Almost enough to overshadow the why God, why am I not at Comic Con angst, because that is one GQMF convention this year.)
But overall, I thought that this was definitely a great season, writing-wise. Major, major props to the writers, because THAT SHIT WAS AWESOME and made me flail greatly.
