Torchwood: Children of Earth | Day Three

[thescarletwoman]

Really, I swear there's a full-length review coming for these. I swear. I've just been at the theatre most nights and... yes. Blow-by-blow for now. *g*

Hell, this is the first one I've gotten to see before 2am! I'd LOVE to know, though, why it takes me 2 fucking hours to download these. Unhappy Lia is unhappy.

• Again, wibbling over the previews. *sniffle*
  
  
• D'aaaaaw! Ianto with a crowbar. And Ianto finding them a new home! And Jack? I never want to see you in sweatpants again.
  
• *DIES* almost lost his eyebrows indeed.
  
• Oh NICE. Using Torchwood 1 holding cells.
  
• OH. MY. GOD. The look on Ianto's face with the having to keep Jack's clothes on. And nice to know Jack doesn't like the clothes as much as I don't. ;^)
  
• Awww. Poor Rhys. And Jack, you really SHOULDN"T smirk like that when you screw with Gwen & Rhys.
  
• PM? I don't like you. I still wish we could have Harriet Jones back. I do LOVE the vibe you get from the government. And wasn't that rather... Saxon-esque?
  
• Okay, Brother-in-Law has redeemed himself. Completely.
  
• heeeee. Lining up everything they have. All I can think of is Princess bride and the list of assets.
  
• Oh god. Gwen's knowledge of the police being used for evil.
  
• OH MY GOD. Waiter!Ianto. And Waiter!Jack.
  
• GUH. I want that car. Car-gasm now.
  
• Oh no. Good girl though for using a different cell phone. Though cameras around like that? Big Brother is always watching.
  
• Oh Jack, hacking
  
• D'aaaaaaw. Hub2.
  
• IANTO BUYING COFFEE! And yes, we know he does have a good eye.
  
• THE COAT IS BACK. Oh Ianto, how much I love you. How much I really, really love you. And getting our Jack his coat back. I can deal with the Wrist Strap gone if the coat is back.
  
• ... Nice wallpaper, Jack.
  
• Okay, this is why I love Torchwood. Because they can take an old warehouse and turn it into the Hub. Few stolen items
  
• Ooooh. The contacts. I love them. And all the software. They did a really nice job of showing old Torchwood tech and re-explaining it for the new watchers.
  
• Lois SO will be the new Torchwood member. You know she will.
  
• OOOOOOOOOOOOH! THE IMMORTALITY TALK!!!!!!!! *rewatches to transcribe* And I love that they were apart for this too. I'd like to say? What awkwardness between them?
  Ianto: *thinking* What did it feel like? I mean... getting blown up?
  Jack: *eyebrow raise* Wasn't the best of days.
  Ianto: No... but... Did you feel it? *Jack takes a deep breath, turning to him* Or did everything just go black?
  Jack: I felt it.
  Ianto: shit.
  Jack: Yeah. *goes back to laptop*
  Ianto: Do you ever think... thaaaat your luck will run out? that you... won't come back?
  Jack: I'm a fixed point in time and space. *Ianto nods* That's what the Doctor says. I think that means it's forever.
  Ianto: *frowning* So... one day... You'll see me die. *breath* of old age. And just keep... going.
  Jack: Yeah.
  Ianto: We better make the most of it then. *smile*
  Jack: *smirk* I suppose.
  Ianto: like right now...? *eyebrows*
  Jack: Ianto, the world could be ending.
  Ianto: The world's always ending. *eyes* And I have missed that coat.
  Jack: *GRINNING, chuckle* *turning* Rhys? You wanna take the car and go to those shops... uh... down by the wharf? *meanwhile, Ianto is smirking* We need soooome disks for these things. Should take about *looks at Ianto* Twenty minutes.
  Ianto: *staring straight ahead, quickly* Thirty minutes.
  Jack: *loudly* Thirty
  Rhys: Iiii'll go later. The beans are almost done.
  Jack: *annoyed look, yet still heated at Ianto* The beans are almost done.
  Ianto: *going back to his computer, muttering* bloody beans.
  AKA- RHYS TAKE THE HINT! THEY WANT YOU TO LEAVE!
  
• D'aaaaw. Our boys and their toys. And I love Ianto giving orders. Mrow.
  
• Dun. Dun. DUN. I see that look in Jack's eyes. I bet I'm right about Jack's dark secret.
  
• And nice to know that some things never change. Jack still runs off without saying anything.
  
• oh INTERESTING. Jack had relations with another Torchwood employee.
  
• Ooooh. Sneaky, sneaky Lois. MROOOWR! Someone's pissy.
  
• PC ANDY!!!! So glad to see you again.
  
• *weeps* Clem and Gwen is going to kill me soon.
  
• Music does not bode well for Alice, suddenly. And GO alice, grabbing a knife. And the cuttingboard and grabbing a knife. Now this is when I hope that daddy dearest taught her how to shoot.
  
• Child pointing = bad. And housefull of children pointing = fucking creepy.
  
• Slightly phallic looking light. Or, maybe, more than slightly phallic.
  
• Ohkay. That? Fucking amazing. I love the new better special effects feel? But it hasn't lost the old grittiness of the first two series. *happy sigh*
  
• *waiting for fog to clear...*
  
• "We are here." about time!
  
• Okay, sound and no visual? I admit. I jumped a fucking mile. And not seeing what's in there? Oh this is brilliantly done. And what IS that getting thrown at the walls?
  
• Oh Frobisher. Trying to explain diplomatic relations. Don't tell an alien why they can't speak with the world it always ends badly. ... and wait what? shockers, that worked? Damn. I'm impressed Frobisher.
  
• Oh let the PM get it. Please let him get his and soon.
  
• *slow. claps* bravo, Frobisher. Bravo.
  
• *g* Oh Jack. Oh... oh Jack. sneaking in and stealing a mobile.
  
• Clem flashbacks = love.
  
• Ahahaha. JACK! Again, my love for you grows. If that were even possible.
  
• And here we go. Jack's deep dark secret. And don't fuck with Jack's family.
  
• OMG! AHAHAHAH! *DIES*
  Clem: And who's the queer?
  Ianto: *turning* OI! *pauses, realises reaction, shifty glance* It's not 1965 anymore.
  Clem: He's queer. I can smell it.
  
• I knew you had it in you, Lois. I knew it. Good girl. We'll make a Torchwood operative of you yet!
  
• Bwah. Ianto making smiley faces. I <3 you.
  
• ... taking the lenses. home. for fun. *picks self up off floor*
  Rhys: Took me a while to get used to those things.
  Ianto: What? You used the lenses?
  Rhys: Yeah. That's why Gwen had 'em.
  Gwen: I took them home for a bit of fun. *sheepish expression*
  Ianto: *incredulously* Fun?
  Gwen: eeeeeh.
  Rhys: Y'know. Fun.
  Ianto: *quickly* Yeah, well, done that. *long pause* it is fun.
  Rhys & Gwen: It is fun.
  
• Moral of the story: We can't trust elected officials, unelected officials or the government in general.
  
• Bwah. Ianto can read shorthand. And no one else is surprised by this revelation.
  
• Also would like to know... how the tank thingy got clean between then and now.
  
• Oh god. This is making me think of Midnight. The way it picked up his voice there for a moment.
  
• Awww. The UK thought they were so important.
  
• We're in ur country stealin' ur kidz. -- yes, like that's comforting.
  
• oooooooooooh. The man. Oh yay, I was right. I'm sorry, but unpopular opinion. I FUCKING LOVE that Jack was the man before.
  
• 10% of the children.
  
• Oh god, Jack. Sending the kids into the light.
  
• And the look of bafflement on Ianto's face.
  
• The utter... lack of emotion utterly chills. "As a gift."
  
  
• WAIT WHAT CREDITS? CREDITS I DO NOT WANT!
  
  Okay. Part of me? LOVING this. The other part of me? Is depressed it's going to be over in 2 days. However? SO glad I don't have to wait a week in between each episode. I think I'd die.
