I just spent like 5 hours cleaning house, I'm gonna sit on my ass and talk about Torchwood.
This is my new avoiding/awkwardness icon. Love it.
SPOILERS FOR TORCHWOOD: CHILDREN OF EARTH DAY ONE UNDER THE CUT.
The Good
Goddamn everything.
My Complaint...
...is about fandom. For christs sake you guys, the entire show is not about Jack/Ianto and about how much they're fucking. There was more to this episode than the kiss at the end. This episode was epic and that's all you're concentrating on. I love Janto as much as the next girl, but look around; there's more than that going on.
Shocker
The writing was fantastic. The plot wasn't ridiculous. The character growth was awesome.
I...I...I can't believe it, Torchwood isn't a joke. D:
The 456
These aliens know how to scare the shit out of a planet, I'll tell you that one.
I've sat through all Grudge, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Ring, and tons of other horror movies and didn't flinch once.
Nothing in Torchwood has scared me. Okay, maybe "Countrycide".
But I was terrified at all the kids just stopping and screaming.
Like, it wasn't scary in the previews.
But in context...*shudder*
Rupesh
Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine as hell. Too bad he was working for the jackass evil chick and got killed.
I was totally hoping he'd be a new addition.
...for the sole reason that he was hot.
Evil Torchwood Killers
Fuck you guys, you got nothin' on Captain Jack.
Jack
I didn't know he'd be such a devoted dad. His daughter is sassy.
Not much else to add this episode. He didn't do all that much.
Ianto
I loved the scene with him and his sister.
So awkward, so perfect, so...real. With the handing the kids money and the "are you gay" talk.
I don't know who wrote that scene, but fucking kudos, you win.
It was a serious scene, but I lost it laughing at "So I hear you like taking it up the ass."
DIED LAUGHING. LMFAO IRL.
Also, laughed at "THAT'S MY CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Ohhhh Ianto, sucks that you lost the SUV.
Gwen
Haters to the left, I love Gwen.
She's amazing. Deal with it. Her "Are you two having shenanigans in the dark?" made me laugh so hard.
She's good to Rhys, she makes a good heart for the crew, and she's nice.
Oh, also, she's PREGNANT. WHAT WHAT WHAT WHATTTTTTT.
Lol cliche plot device but idgaf, I didn't see it coming.
When's Rhys gonna find out? :3
Janto
I'm aware there was a kiss.
But I love the "couple" discussions that keep going on. Ianto obviously wants to be a couple, but Jack doesn't. Poor Ianto. You can see the hurt when he gets told off. :[
Offensive Lolz
"I'll adopt a Filipino and have her clean the chimney"
LOL WHAT GWEN? I JUST HEARD THE SHIT HIT THE FAN.
I laughed.
The End
Explosion. :[
Don't worry, for those of you who haven't seen it, I'll link you after you do.
