30 + 1 Thinkies About "A Day in the Death"

[spiderine]

Yay Torchwood! Wednesday has become my favorite day of the week! *bounces*

Let's get to it -- you know the drill: unspoiled, unviewed and nothin' but squee. Blatant Ianto worship, Jack drooling and Owen disgust are also on the menu. Spoil me for anything Torchwood or Doctor Who related and I'll rip your arm off and beat you with the wet end

My brain is syncronised to yours somewhat...this is what a triple espresso will bring on( raises matching stoneware white espresso grande cup to match Ianto,) er, Coffee geek alert. Perhaps send Owen to walk across harbour floor to collect next rift item that ends up in the harbour? Cheaper than a boat?? Tee hee!

[spiderine]

Very good idea! There should be a list: "101 Things to do with a Dead Guy". Thanks for reading! *Spider toasts you with bad office coffee, yearns for Ianto*

Came here via link on the Jack/Ianto community.

Cause heaven forbid Owen have difficulty adjusting to the fact that he's dead? Honestly, the fact that he's adjusted as much as he has in three days is impressive considering everything he's lost.

But yeah, excited about Ianto wearing pink next week. Boy looks good in pink. And I can't wait to see Rhys reaction to Gwen being 9 months pregnant when they wake up in the morning. That'll be classic.

Hello, spork! I sporked myself last night, didja see? Hee! Thanks for stopping by. You know, I did warn you twice in the Thinkies that I'm not exactly an Owen fan. ;) I've had a difficult time with him since the very first episode. I try to like all the Torchwood characters, truly, but I just can't manage to like Owen. Sorry.

Pink is not my favorite color -- far from it -- but it's better than some of the other stuff Ianto's been wearing. And the alien pregancy was a plot that was bound to happen sooner or later. Let's see what they do with it.

[killerspork33]

I honestly don't care whether or not you like Owen, I understand not being a fan of the character. However, anyone that lost as much as Owen had (ability to sleep, touch, eat, feel, etc) would probably react similarly (if not worse). It's a justified reaction to the situation.

And yeah, any show with aliens will eventually bring about an alien pregnancy storyline. I'm actually excited to see how it plays out cause it's got the possibility to be hilarious (especially with how dark the last few episodes have been).

His flat is so huge, and he is so wee. I don't understand it. He must have to pack water and snacks just to get from one side to the other.

Did you see Ianto carefully swap coffees with someone else? :D

Jack didn't seem very into the whole kissing-Martha thing. My thoughts ran to "You tart, you know he's shagging the tea boy who is RIGHT BEHIND YOU, but come to think of it I'm sure Ianto wouldn't mind a threesome, which just goes to show that Jack is contagious."

There was a lot of Owen staring off into space. I grew tired of it so I started imagining that John Barrowman was standing behind the camera during every take, making faces to try and crack Burn Gorman up. :D

[euphorazine]

... After reading the Gareth David-Lloyd interview on After Elton, I now know for a fact he is standing behind the camera playing a gay cowboy called 'Slappy'. I am both intrigued and scared.

[spiderine]

Slappy. The Gay Cowboy. Sweet bloody cheezus. See, this is why I'm not into RPF.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

[spiderine]

Yes! I believe he swapped with Gwen. And his territoriality over the espresso machine just made me squee with glee!

Jack is contagious in the best of all possible ways. :)

[haces222]

I have to agree by 3 minutes in I was almost yelling *JUMP* He was mean as anything to Tosh when all she was trying to do was help. Did love the coffee machine bit, all those fics of Ianto being possessive over his machine and the importance of coffee (fandom has become canon)

On a side point yay to Ianto in pink shirt, but................Vomit inducing almost kiss between Gwen and Jack. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[spiderine]

fanon has become canon

YES! Isn't it great when the creators of a show are FANGIRLS? I've even heard that Gareth David-Lloyd reads Jack/Ianto slash! My mind BOGGLES.

I'm so used to vomit-inducing almost-kisses between Jack and Gwen that my only reaction is a slightly disgusted sigh.

Thanks for dropping by! Welcome to my journal!

[haces222]

I've been an avid fan of yours since 'CLOSE AND HOLY DARKNESS' which reminds me did you ever do part two of *EASE HIS PAIN* cough*nagnagnag*cough

Concerning GDL reading the fanfic I keep imagining him reading aloud *sigh*

[spiderine]

YES I am working on it! I just finished moving, and I'm settled in, and I plan on finishing it this weekend. I am SO glad you like my fic! I've never had an "avid fan" before. It makes me think of Francis Dolarhyde's letter to Hannibal Lecter in "Red Dragon". I'm proud to be in such impressive company! *snerk*

[justinej]

Tee hee. Well I found that commentary really amusing! Bit about Ianto's "it's not like that comment" probably why he looked distracted....

[spiderine]

Yeah, I was wondering about that. "Not like that." Not like what? Not shagging? Of course they're shagging! Not like a "relationship"? Well, it's a relationship, even if it's not exclusive. Not "love"? Well, they're boys, and boys can idiots about realizing when they love someone.

I just don't get it.

[justinej]

I hope he meant it's not just shagging - it's more like a relationship. Especially after the date thing. We'll see I suppose, as long as we can pry Jack and Gwen apart. Mind you the teasers they give for the next episode are inevitably misleading.... But still, yuck!

[grbggrl]

I also took it to mean its not just shagging, but a relationship...as Owen always refers to them as just shagging, being his part time shag, etc. Especially given Owen's response of everyone there having someone (Jack & Ianto, "Gwen getting married, Martha has a boyfriend, even Tosh had Tommy") and he has no one.

In fact, I'm surprised that anyone questioned that...I thought it was obvious that's what they were saying.
