Pain
Finding it difficult to sit and write at the moment - quite literally. My back is playing up again and sitting down hurts which makes it very painful to sit and type. This makes my 3rd painkiller in 2 days. I dislike taking painkillers and usually avoid them if I can.
And then there was the watching of Children Of Earth, which depressed me so much I am actively considering watching BSG just to cheer myself up.
One of my major complaints with Torchwood was always that there didn't seem to be that much emotional consequence for Jack, that he had some internal reset button that made him incapable of processing the terror that he both suffered and caused.
Well. I'm not complaining about that anymore. Be careful what you wish for indeed.
90 percent of the writing impressed me this time but they still use the anvil approach to signposting. "Hammer it in hard, boys. We wouldn't want anyone missing this here sign now, would we?" So as soon as everyone began making such a fuss over Jack and Ianto I pretty much knew where it was heading. I think it would have had even more impact had they just continued to let them be low key. But then that would have hurt even more and given how much the rest of the story upset me I'm not sure I could have handled it.
I know nothing about the future of Torchwood. I don't follow the press on it. I'm assuming given the ending that they don't yet know if they've been renewed?
On the bright side, my week is filled with cute guys coming and going from my house. Lopping trees, building fences, repairing locks. That sort of thing. The house as it currently stands is not legally fit for us to either sell or rent out (but it's apparently okay for us to live in!) If only we had the money the house could be fixed properly and I could have an endless stream of cute guys repairing and mending various structures. Who would all be carefully chosen for their skills. Of course.
