How adorably sweet! Nice use of Primeval in this; Ianto was very awesome in this as well. Best of all, you killed Gwen - twice. *g*

The last bit with the rings is very nice fluff as well. Though, I do feel bad for Ianto and him having to figure out what else changed.

yup. didn't even have to shoe horn. well, the primeval cast mostly acted as a plot device, but of course we should really say it was well thought out and required to make the story flow.

but yeah, offing her twice- that was the icing.

Well... is that any different from a normal Primeval episode?

I'm kidding... mostly. it's a show with an interesting idea, but I find the execution not always that great.

offing Gwen is always fun. In the next chapter of "Tosh and Ianto take over the world" we'll have an update on her "ambassadorial" status. *snicker*

i kinda put primeval s3 in the same boat as TW s3, they both suffered from the we've no clue so let's just kill 'em all syndrome.

ah alpha omega, it could be a world that buries pets with the owners when they die, or maybe after they stop being cute they get sold to another society that thinks they taste good?

I've watched through the end of season 2... i think. Unless that is what is currently airing on BBC-A, in which case, the end of season 1. I haven't started to watch whatever season is on BBC-A at the moment, but will eventually. It's good background watching.

Well the aliens get tired of Gwen, so they want to give her back. There is a suggestion of exchanging her with Owen, and giving Gwen tot he Weevils, who are getting tired of Owen as well. Ianto has to convince Tosh this is a good idea first.

in the states BBC America ran Series 1 and Series 2 as one unit since it was a total of 13 episodes. What BBCA is running right now is Series 3 (actually, I think it might have just finished up.)

i still find it amusing that BBC america's #3 show is one they licensed from ITV.

of course they tired of Gwen. dear lord, who wouldn't? So, it's sort of like pet swap? you could have Rhys as a consultant since he enjoyed Wife Swap so much.

Right now the plan is to have Owen traded for Gwen, with Gwen going back to the Weevils. I'm toying with the idea of having Rhys sent out into space to teach Rugby and possibly footie. Not quite sure at the moment if it will happen as I'm still outlining it.

rhys teaching footie to those little half-height blue people from platform one. that would be fun to watch.

we wouldn't want him coaching rugby for the trees of cheem; someone might snap...literally.
