Wow, there's not a whole hell of a lot that's quite as satisfying as having your ship actually be fucking canon. eep. This is has never happened to me before (except for Northern Exposure but that was at the very end of the series and not nearly as much as I actually wanted to see on the screen and as much as I love Chris and Maggie). Um. Jack and Ianto, people. JACK. AND. IANTO.
And on top of that I am loving Ianto more and more with every second he is on the screen. Not that I didn't love him before but. It's nice to have the conclusions you reached about a character be actual fact. Oh. OH. JACK AND IANTO. Really. That's all I've got my brain has been turned to goo by the extreme awesomeness of seeing the fic I had been searching for played out on the fucking screen (except for the dirty sex part but a girl can hope, right).
Oh, wait, but that's not all. Somebody is going to get hurt here 'cause just. Oh, I think they have too many issues to really sustain it and I'm not seeing them actually, you know, working them out. Ianto loves Jack (or very nearly) but he doesn't trust him. *sigh* Not that I can blame him for that. And Jack's looking down the barrel of another lover he will have to watch grow old and die while he stays the same. And his little speech about loving people he never would have met. Um. The angst potential there is so high I am just longing for it to break my heart. I love them and their messy messy issues. Oh yes. I really couldn't love them more, separately or together.
And other things happened and those things were also good but really, as much as I like the rest of the team, I do seem to only have eyes for Jack. And the more of S2 I see the more I'm convinced that there's some sort of Jack/Ianto/Gwen thing going on. And I like it. Um. Yes. Torchwood S2 is entirely awesome, every bit of it.
Boys, oh boys. Torchwood has gotten me through the long wait but it is so good to have you back. Ben Edlund really brings the funny and the snark and the angst all in one nice little package.
I love Sam going all bad ass and going after the witches when he can't find the curse bag.
Dean's "you're the shortbus." Heh. Oh, Dean
Sam needs to be like Dean. Oh, that breaks my heart 'cause that's what Dean's spent his whole life trying to prevent.
I find this whole all demons were people once thing very interesting. It makes me think that if and when Dean does end up in hell (and now I'm kind of thinking he will but Sam will get him out somehow) he will be like Ruby, a demon that remembers being human. 'Cause he's got Sam and not matter what they do to him down there he is never never NEVER going to forget Sam.
Oh, and that last shot of Dean (and the Impala) alone in the parking lot, very nice.
And then I watched another ep of Sarah Connor Chronicles and now I really really really want John Connor and the boys to be all in one place back in 1998 or so.
In conclusion: Torchwood has taken over my braaain.
