ARGH. GWEN. *shakes her* Seriously, dumb move to top all dumb moves. I get a bad feeling about this. I'm all tetchy on behalf of the characters. Brilliant update, as always! :)
Sheesh! Finally, someone has yanked Gwen's chain about her behavior. The canon scene always bothered me for several reasons, not the least of which was that she assumed once again that a man would find her attractive and spill his guts because of it. All her flirting w/John Hart got her was almost dead. I also didn't like her arguing w/Jack in front of someone outside their group. It was bad enough she challenged Jack in front of the rest of the team, but especially when others were involved it was essential Torchwood act as a team and follow orders. She could never be counted on to do that and i am so glad she finally gets straight, even if I had to wait for fanfiction to do it
( ... )
Mmm Interesting, I like how Ianto and Jack handle the team is very professional.
Funny I like your Gwen more that the canon, she IS being racist but is honest enough about it and she seems to be able to get past that and do her work well enough if not perfect, I think with time she could get over all of it.
Does John really start the flirting with her? I always had the impression that she was the one that started making eyes at him. Which would made sense, she is used to men doing what she wants if she flirts with them.
I can't wait to see your substitute for the office scene; I'm really excited about it
Thanks! I had such an issue with Jack not being professional, when he had experience at leading.
Do you? I just see Gwen like that. She sees the things she wants to, and she's upfront about it, even if she's wrong. And she does, on the whole, love her job.
Well, since Jack hadn't been there, he doesn't know who actually started the flirting...
Great chapter - shivers all over with the sword/katana comparison. Love that your Jsck is smart enough to pull Gwen up when she's disruptive & stupid; it's so annoying to watch the way she gets away with nearly everything in the show. How did she manage with that attitude while working in the police?
