Torchwood: The I finally saw some edition
Episode one: Promising start.
Episode two: Now, that, is how you shoot bathroom porn.
1. I expected to hate Gwen. I haven't traveled widely in TW fandom, but I'd seen a lot of "Gosh, she's useless" and, um... She really wasn't. She was curious, she did some homework, she tracked them down and... was pretty intelligent, all told. She tried to keep her memories and failed (upchucking was a possibility that Jack would have considered, I suspect, and thus, not helpful).
2. Jack's coat is pretty.
3. Jack, himself, is emo. *pats Jack* Don't worry, man. The Doctor will come for his hand one of these days.
4. Speaking of the hand, Gwen/Karys was all kinds of hot. In all honesty, if I try to take this show seriously, I might be weirded out by alien influence. But, whatever (has TW hit every stupid fanfic cliche yet? At least this wasn't Sam having to be fucked by Daniel, Jack and Teal'c), aliens made them do it, and Gwen? Slightly blushy, but not needing to go wash her mouth out.
5. Also. Porn in a bathroom. With the hands and the legs and the wall and, um...
6. Suzie was awesome, and fucked-up, and given that I've seen bits of spoilers, yay.
7. Owen wants to be Tony DiNozzo, and fails miserably. Owen? Go watch some NCIS to see how it's done. You? Are just kind of pathetic.
8. Tosh, baby, talk more computers at me.
9. "Sometimes it does the heart good to technobabble." Oh, Jack.
10. Gwen running the dossier on Karys was rather brilliant--at least, if you're me and have watched far too many cop shows. Jack told her to humanize them, and she did what she does best--she went back to the basics of being a cop/detective. If you can call it that. *shrug* I give her ten years to become a decent criminal profiler, but she's got the victims down.
11. Oh, oh, episode one. I just can't put into words why I liked it. Maybe it was the silly establishing shots, maybe it was the rain, or Jack's emo, or him getting shot and falling. Hrm.
12. Obviously, I have very low expectations. I do watch BSG, you know.
13. I may come to dislike Gwen with her wide-eyed innocence. We'll see.
