RE: Torchwood (and also Doctor Who)

So I finished watching the second season of Torchwood and I think I'm hooked now. The second season was definitely better than the first. I even started looking at some fanfic for it (mostly only of the Jack/Ianto persuasion, though).

1.) Dead!Owen may've redeemed the character for me. Death kinda removed the assholicity of him and I'm sad now that he's dead...er. Hmm...that's confusing. I was really hoping for Owen/Tosh to kick up. And I'm sad also that she's dead.

2.) Gwen annoys me even more. And I really don't understand why there's a push to pair her with Jack. Maybe it's my love of Jack/Ianto...but I just don't see it. I don't buy that Jack would find Gwen attractive. I could maybe see him going for Tosh...but Gwen? I really just want to throw her off a cliff (all it would've taken would be a little shove in "Adrift"...)

3.) Rhys grew on me. I thought he was kinda dopey in Season 1...but this season...once he knew what was going on...he really kind of stepped up and I like that.

4.) I FUCKING LOVE IANTO! For serious. He got a lot more play in this season and that made me happy. He's funnier, dryer, badassier. I like it. And he and Jack playing naked hide and go seek? Priceless.

5.) Favorite episode of the season has to go to "Fragments". I just loved the flashbacks. And the smaller role of Gwen.

In the process of finishing out the second season, I also watched the episodes of Doctor Who featuring Captain Jack. I'd tried to watch DW before and had just never managed to get into it...but now I'm intrigued and think I'll go back and start watching it as well. I like my SciFi...but I gotta have it grounded in reality and I think what made DW hard to grasp in the past was that it didn't seem very grounded. But watching the episodes with Jack made me want to go back and get the story on Martha and Rose and such.

And now I'm on a hunt for good Torchwood icons. And also I need to finish my Suspenders!kink picspam. Hmm. Icons first.
