Torchwood: Children of Earth | Day One

Jul 07, 2009 01:45

I'm exhausted and had a 9 hour drive back from New York. However, nothing was standing between me and my Torchwood. NOTHING.

Brief thoughts, I'll do a more coherent review tomorrow. ♥

Spoilers, reactions as I was watching. And yes, that one scene? I transcribed it.

I got to see it tonight after much insanity (including my burning software giving me a heretofore never seen error message which sent me into panic mode believing I'd never be able to burn another disc again...). It was just what I needed as a break from packing and going-away-for-a-week craziness. Of course now I'm going to be watching the entire thing on the lappy while I'm away in order to keep from being spoiled AND from bouncing off the walls.

Ianto's brother-in-law is a super dick. And not in the good way. As for Jack, I think he was very much in character. He's all about the sexy and "How YOU doin'?" stuff, not so good with actual, yanno, relationships. Whether it's man, woman, robot or small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. And he abhores labels (which is why I don't get on with a lot of TW fen who want to pigeonhole him as a gay, monogamous creature what he ain't.)

I agree with basically everything you said in that post. Ianto/Jack seemed off, but appropriately/intentionally off, not bad acting/bad writing off. And then the kiss at the end - OH MY HEART. I do love them so.

And I actually liked Gwen/Rhys this episode, especially Rhys with his random bit of genius! Usually I watch them and just wonder why they're kidding themselves, but this episode, they totally worked. I wonder how long that will last.

I do hate that I have become so jaded by television that I can't be worried that Jack's actually gone. Non-spoiler spec: he might be out for most of day two, but the cliffhanger for tomorrow, possibly the next day, could be his molecules gluing themselves back together. (Marvel at my scientific explanations!)

Gaaaah why can't I have day two yet? *flails*
