Oooh, reaction post!
First one I've been around for since KKBB-excitement!
Guys, this is a Torchwood reaction post containing spoilers for "Meat". Look away now if you want to avoid the spoiler fairy
Aka "'The Blob that I loved' by Jack Harkness".
Nice episode. That's all I can say really. Not "Excellent", not "Bad", just the wettest word in the history of all the world. It just seemed like a gap filler really, and only really served to tell Rhys about Torchwood.
I will, however, say this. Effing kudos to Kai Owen tonight. He was just absolutely amazing, so he was. The scene with him and Gwen when she told him about Torchwood was just amazing-the energy was just spectacular, and Kai and Eve played it really well.
GDL was excellent tonight as well-punching and stungunning his way to being my new favourite action hero! And they're just writing him SO well this season-I liked his "We could release a single" line, and also the bit where Jack said something and I can't remember what the hell it was, which shows how good I am, but he goes "Yeah, you are a bit", and it was good. And he LOOKED scrummy yumboes. That coat. And the bit with the waistcoat? Shag me sideways and call me Freda, I liked it
Was it just me or was there rather a lot of alternative pairing going on this episode? There was Jack/Rhys and a little bit of subtle Ianto/Rhys, and even a bit of Owen/Rhys at one point. And my original and best slash pairing, Ianto/Owen, of course. Ianto looked scrummy in that coat, so I FAIL to see how anyone could not look at him and think "I'd hit that". (Katie, come on, even YOU must have felt something then!). Oh, and I read a bit of Gwen/Ianto again this episode (the bit where Gwen finds out Ianto and Rhys have been captured, she gets panicky, it's ASSUMED over Rhys but she never says. Huh? Huh? Nope, just me? Ah well) I'm still completely convinced there will be explicit Owen/Tosh at some point, which I LIKE! I will come to this momentarily though
I'm not sure if I liked the ending. I was sad about it being killed at the end, even though as Owen said, it was a mercy killing. I just wonder if there was some way of saving it. Poor Jack though, he got all attached to it. I want to make some sort of joke about how Jack likes the big girls best (of which I am one =P), but it does seem inappropriate...
Oh, and Owen/Tosh-how sweet was the bit at the end where he was upset and she was looking after him. Although, as I said to someone I was texting (It was either Katie, Natz or Kelly, but I had to clear my outbox-too many texts!), Owen is a clueless idiot-come on, Tosh is asking you out and you don't realise it?! *sigh*. Am I just going to have to draw you a diagram Owen? Silly mongoose.
And I've basically worked out the entire plot for next week's episode. Aren't I just the cock of the walk? Better get my BBC3 back for next week, because I do NOT want to miss the return of the Marthaaaaaaaaaaa (They're showing 2x05 on BBC2 then 2x06 on BBC3 straight after. Yays! Just to be safe, I am procuring the use of my sister's digibox for a whole week, because I'm gonna be home 2 weekends in a row. I just hope they're not gonna be doing this with every blooming episode!
Thought for the day: With all the fangirls (and boys) who watch Torchwood, dya reckon there's enough of us to cause a power surge going to make a cuppa and then turn on the computer to do a reaction post after Torchwood?
