Torchwood, season 2

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

The hottest thing about the kiss/barfight is that they were laughing the entire time. I felt like I really got that. And that's what I loved about this episode, there was some very sincere affection/love between Jack and John, but life moves on.

Poor Ianto. He almost choked to death over the date thing. He looked so cute though. I was charmed.

Jack/Gwen. Buh? Gwen has this weird sexual daddy thing going on with Jack, and, you know, that's cool. And I think Jack has a fantasy of a normal life with her (and Ianto) like he didn't let himself have with Estelle. And I think he's really confused and unclear about that or the realities of being tied to another life regardles of polyamory and time travel. He so does not have the skill set here. I'm not sure how clearly any of this read in the episode. I know the Jack/Gwen thing feels very wtf to a lot of people, and I may be working to hard to make some sense out of it.

Ianto, Blowfish, Jack, Gun -- have I mentioned that the pacing of this episode was high art? Because it was. Also, I need to write a Jack/Ianto firing range fic now. Also, I haven't shot a gun in about 18 years, but I'm sort of like "oh yeah, that was cool." Odd thing to miss I suppose.

think his writing falls down when he forgets we can't see what the hell he's thinking.

I think that's a very good point, and one I'll keep in mind next time he's got me frothing at the mouth about something.

(So very, very hoping he'll make Gallifrey One in '09...)
