"Aftermath Part 2"

This issue is somewhat misnamed. Aftermath Part 1 focused on the immediate fallout of AoX, but this issue focused my attention more on how these character have matured since they were first introduced.  A more appropriate title would be "Where Bad Seeds Turn Good".

Sorry folks, it's been a busy week and I never found the time to post this first one.

The Doctor's Wife

*big goofy grin*

Called it.  *checks date*  Almost four years ago to the day I posted a fanfic about the TARDIS being a communication-impaired Goddess who stole away with a Time Lord.  Not that I'm saying Neil Gaiman stole the idea from me, or even ( Read more... )

This isn't going to be one of my long essays yet.  I have to wait for until I find all the pieces of my exploded brain for that.

Clearly someone told Moffet he couldn't possibly top what he had already done.

I've got a killer headache, so I apologize if this is crabbier than usual, but it seems to me that certain members of fandom are holding Gwen/Rhys to a different standard than Jack/Ianto.

I refer to the infamous "pizza" line from Something Borrowed, where Gwen asks Jack what he will do while she is on her honeymoon and he replies jokingly, "You know ( Read more... )

Sorry about the delay.  It's the Secret Origins of Torchwood episode!

I watched the Location Photos thread on OG this summer.  After a report of Jack and Ianto taking out a Weevil but not knowing each other and a report of Tosh working with UNIT, I said, "This is going to be a 'Secret Origins' episode."  Looks like I called it.  ("Secret Origins" ( Read more... )
