"Is it still necrophilia if I'm conscious?"
Company was incredibly awesome. And Raul continues to own my soul. And I cried. And I'm going to rewatch it tomorrow. ♥
But in the meantime:
MARTHA!
Okay, is there ANYBODY who DIDN'T call bringing-Owen-back-to-life? Even if he's not technically alive. Point stands.
"I love you, Owen. Always have." Oh, Tosh. This is slightly ameliorated by her subsequent mortification when he doesn't go back to being dead, because that's something it's only safe to say to someone who's going to be dead again in thirty seconds.
Owen and Jack spent a lot of time groping each other in this episode, didn't they?
MARTHA!
"You're losing something, so suddenly you desperately desire it, right?" I wish I could buy into Owen's rationalization of that line, but no, it's not that...But Tosh deserves someone like, well, Jack. Or Martha. Or Ianto. Or any combination thereof. Or all three. Somebody who won't be a git and break her heart.
Black oil! ...wait, I thought this show riffed Buffy all the time, why have I been getting so many X-Files flashbacks this season? ...if they riff "Post-Modern Prometheus" or "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" I will be absurdly happy.
"You had the power of bringing people back to life and you never told UNIT, why?" "Because they would have wanted to use it." Martha pulling rank! Jack emulating the Doctor! *is a very happy fangirl*
"He's about 50% human and that 50% is dead!"
I like the acknowledgment that since Owen is dead sex is...improbable at best. This makes me feel a little better about the Tosh/Owen anvils. And the Jack/Owen bar fight? AWESOME. And PC Andy? DOUBLY AWESOME.
"Enough! You're dead! You break an ankle what are the chances it'll knit back together? You want to add a wheelchair to your problems?"
"Oh, that is the single most disgusting thing I have ever seen!" You and me both, Jack! *cringes*
"'Only in suffering do we recognize beauty.'" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, who said that?" "Proust." "You've read Proust?" "Yeah! Well, no. We dated for a while. He was really immature." "You know, none of us know whether to take you seriously when you say those things." "When you've lived as long as I have...you don't make anymore up."
"Forever's overrated." "Not from where I'm sitting."
They're kind of making me ship Jack/Owen. *flail* Well, no, not really *flail* because I ship Jack/Everything That Moves anyway. But y'know.
Weevil chase!
"I've got a really bad feeling about this."
So Owen's a Weevil-whisperer now? Or King of the Weevils. Weevil Messiah. "Whichever way you look at it, it ain't good."
"Are we seriously going to act on something she's Googled."
"Even if we have to fight you -- you're already dead!"
Owen convincing them to embalm him? Kinda awesome. And the Gwen/Owen hug made me tear up despite not being terrifically fond of either of them.
Martha attacked by the glove! Climbing a wall in heels! Keeping track of the glove's movement even while she's freaking out! It's all very Evil Dead 2, actually, am I the only one who thought that? Just the moment when the glove springs out of nowhere and covers Martha's face, it clicked in my head "Ash. And Ash's hand." Ash's hand/Risen Mitten OTP? Ash/Martha would be awesome. THEY FIGHT CRIME. AND DEADITES. And she'd bitch him out whenever he got all sexist.
OMG MARTHA! ...dude, she seriously is the Doctor now, isn't she? But OMG MARTHA! FIX HER JACK! FIX HER NOW!
"It must be death, because it's stolen my life." *cries*
Torchwood really is terribly shite at being a Top Sekrit Organization, aren't they? They walk into a hospital, "This is Torchwood, evacuate!" and everyone's just like, "Oh, okay, Torchwood, we watch your TV show", and leaves.
*snort* "I have searched the phrase 'I will walk the Earth, and my hunger shall know no bounds', but I keep getting redirected to Weight Watchers."
...okay, that bit where Owen and Tosh and Jamie are running for their lives and then it cuts to Jack and Gwen and Gwen's reporting on the casualties? And she has to explain to Jack what it means if the Grim Reaper collects 13 deaths? Is it just me or did that make no narrative sense and Jack already knew what would happen if 13 people die?
Owen/Tosh kiss! *flail* I feel I should be happy for Tosh's sake, but I persist in Not Shipping It. And you can't make me.
Martha startling Ianto! Okay, that would be adorable, Martha/Ianto.
And a Jack/Tosh scene. <3
In conclusion: MARTHA! And I am now convinced of Jack/Owen's Epic Love. And child actors are always creepy. And MARTHA!
But in the meantime:
