Torchwood. Suzie-flavoured recs

Jun 27, 2009 22:45

Argh. It's been an utterly mad week full of work and commuting (though exciting work, and interesting people) hence the near-disappearance. If you've commented on posts during the last week huge apologies for the delay. Normal service resuming shortly.

But I do come bearing more Torchwood recs. Those of you that know me will be unsurprised that I ( Read more... )

recommendations, torchwood

THE 21ST CENTURY IS WHEN CANON CHANGES. SORRY. THEY WARNED YOU TO BE READY. XD

amand_r June 28 2009, 02:58:55 UTC

I'M NEVER READY. NEVER READY! ::hands in face::

phaetonschariot June 28 2009, 03:01:45 UTC

It's okay, Torchwood isn't really ready either.

amand_r June 28 2009, 03:03:08 UTC

LAWL. IT NEVER IS.

SECRET ALIEN FIGHTING ORGANISATION FAIL. It's kind of funny counting how many of the disasters are actually their fault.

amand_r June 28 2009, 03:11:12 UTC

You know what's not their fault? FUCKING FAERIES.

pogrebin June 28 2009, 03:19:03 UTC

DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON FAIRIES. OR APPARENTLY COMPLETELY HUMAN SOUL-STEALING IMMORTAL CARNIES WHO LIKE LICKING THE FACES OF YOUNG BOYS.

amand_r June 28 2009, 03:22:17 UTC

YEAH WHAT THE SHIT IS UP WITH THAT? I LIKE LICKING FACES AND I AM NOT A FUCKING CARNIE.

phaetonschariot June 28 2009, 03:19:26 UTC

LOL FAIRIES YES. Goddamn fucking fairies.

amand_r June 28 2009, 03:23:44 UTC

I actually kind of like faeries....:(

phaetonschariot June 28 2009, 03:29:16 UTC

lol I like fairies but that episode makes me lol a bit. Jasmine's family was so awful.

amand_r June 28 2009, 03:33:50 UTC

Are you joking? I thought her parents really got a shitty deal. If I had been that mum, I would have killed Jack right there.

BTW, is the quote on your icon from Almost Perfect?

phaetonschariot June 28 2009, 03:42:08 UTC

Her mum got a shitty deal. The stepfather being killed was a bit drastic for how he acted, but I found it hard to be sympathetic when he's telling her her father left when she was a baby because of her being such a creepy kid, because (from their pov) she doesn't watch enough tv and plays with imaginary friends. Her mother wasn't perfect, but then no one is, and she at least obviously cared. Overall I was more sympathetic to Jasmine than either parent, though, and I probably would have wanted to go with the fairies too if I was her.

It is!

amand_r June 28 2009, 03:49:43 UTC

Maybe it's because I am a mum, but when Jack let that girl go I was hysterical. Yeah, the step dad was pretty bad, mostly because I don't think he knew how to handle kids, especially little weird kids. Her parents reminded me of a mild charicature(sp) of the Dursley;s from Harry Potter.

Still, I'd have waited until I could track him down, and then I would have killed him. He better have retconned her.

That book kicks ass!

phaetonschariot June 28 2009, 03:54:50 UTC

I hope they did too, though sadly it's still not good enough to fix it all - she still would have lost her partner and her daughter, just not know how it really happened. I feel bad for her, I just also sympathise with Jasmine wanting to live in the world the fairies could offer her rather than deal with the inadequacies of reality. It's a shitty situation all around really.

It's my favourite! I laughed all the way through, it was hilarious.
