A wee Torchwood rant.

[foxmonkey]

OH MY GOD, I HATE GWEN.



I like Torchwood but honestly, I don't know how much longer I can watch Gwen and her "I've only been in the job for three months, but OF COURSE I know better than the rest of you how this operation should be run." Hate her, absolutely.

Susie waves a dying father in Gwen's face -- keeping in mind that Gwen, for all intents and purposes doesn't know Susie -- and of course Gwen snatches Susie right out of the facility on a humanitarian mission. Yes! Susie killed three or four people, including Jack, and tried to kill me, but Oh noes! Her father's dying! Yes, I shall take her out of Torchwood so she can go see him! OH MY GOD, KILLKILLKILL.

And how many friggin' times did we have to hear that "Gwen's so much better than I am! Gwen's a real find! Gwen's fabulous!" OH MY GOD I HATE GWEN AND THIS ISN'T HELPING.

And oh my God, with the throwing around blame. It's your fault! It's my fault! We're both at fault! Hello, it's friggin' Susie's fault, folks. Jesus. You want some fault? Here you go. Because Gwen seems to think she's right just about all% of the time, Susie's dying father is now dead for realz.

OH MY GOD I HATE GWEN. HATE HER. I seriously hope that Martha's five guest episodes are so filled with awesome that she blows Gwen off the screen and Gwen is fired and I never have to hear her on her "we've to to do something!" soapbox again because they'll give her then amnesia drug and friggin' AWESOME DOCTOR MARTHA JONES WILL TAKE HER PLACE.

I hate Gwen. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. Thank you Russell T. Davies. I continue to hate you too. /bile

Yes yes a thousand times yes.

She is so useless. And dumb. Actually, the only person I really like on the show is Jack, and sometimes Tosh. Everyone else is an idiot.

And what the hell with the "Gwen is so much better than me" stuff? Susie was the only one of them who actually had any clue what she was doing. She was evil, but at least she was somewhat capable. The rest of them can barely tie their shoes.

And *that's* what's so exasperating. We get this big buildup about how they're big and bad and operate outside of any known agency on the planet, but the reality is that, except for Jack, they're the saddest collection of half-wits the planet's ever seen. If you're selling me badass, give me badass. So far I haven't seen it.

Tosh. Man, I want to like Tosh, and I'm not sure if it's just the actress' normal facial expression, but 33% the time Tosh looks confused, 33% she looks scared out of her wits, and the remaining 33% time she looks like she *barely* knows what she's doing. 1% of the time she gets it right. OH MY GOD.

Ownen. I'm waiting for an alien to screw him to death so I never have to look at or hear him again.

Gwen. So much hate.

Ianto! He can stay, despite the muck-up with his dead girlfriend. He and Jack flirting is complete YAY.

Captain Jack! Love him! He's a lot sexier than he was on Doctor Who, but I can't put my finger on the reason why. ::purrrrrrrrr::

Yeah, Tosh does look confused all the time.

Why does the local cop shop know them and Gwen who is a cop didn't know they were there? They aren't some big muckymuck secret?

That killed me in the first show! She's running around trying to find this secret organization, and she finds them AND WALKS RIGHT INTO THE COMPOUND via pizza delivery service. Honestly, I'm ready to smack someone.

CONTINUITY!!! Not a hard thing to do.

[starsprinkles.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, Tosh is totally lost all the time and way naïve. The only reason I dislike her least is that she's done the least amount of idiotic, self-serving, potentially world-destroying things.

I might like Jack/Ianto if Ianto hadn't been so INSANELY STUPIDLY STUPID towards the beginning of the season and made me hate him pretty much right off. What does he do, anyway, besides make coffee and cry?

I am soooo hoping Martha fixes everything, because I reallllly want to like the show and Jack is wonderful. Gwen just needs to die. And Owen. I could live with Tosh and Ianto if Gwen and Owen were gone. =)

Was it the mess with his girlfriend or something else??? He was cute but pretty much invisible to me before that. If something else happened, poke me in the brain, woman. Jump-start my memory.

And the stopwatch. Don't forget his mad stopwatch skillz.

I am SO with you on all points.

I have massive, massive Martha love. Massive. I can't wait to see her upcoming Whoverse appearances! ::squee!:: I'm not holding my breath, but I'd *love* it if Martha came back as the companion for S5 (in 2010, or something). In the meantime, a full-time gig on Torchwood S3 would be *great.*

Yes, it was the girlfriend thing. Which was episode four, so it wasn't exactly the *beginning* of the season, but close to it. But even after that, he wasn't really that good for much, besides being Jack's callboy =P Which I guess has its merits, but, eh.

What was the deal with the stopwatch, anyway, haha? What *exactly* were they timing?

I am beginning to regret watching this show. I thought it was about JACK and how HE and others try to save the Earth in the 21st century. I don't need to know who is sleeping with whom (or what in Tosh's case!).

Ianto...what does he do!?!?

Owen...hypocrite much?

Tosh...pretty decor and all but still relies on Jack.

Gwen...still busy thinking like a cop not a space cop.


Jack is the only one there in that group that can make decisions;ones that hurt and bleed,but can do them.


grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



where's James Marsters!?!?!? We need him now.

[foxmonkey.livejournal.com]

Gwen...still busy thinking like a cop not a space cop.

Exactly. And if she wants to be a cop, please, please, PLEASE, let her go back on the beat and get her the hell off my show. Please. HATE HER.

Ianto...what does he do!?!?

Flirts very prettily with Jack. And makes coffee. ;-)

Tosh...pretty decor and all but still relies on Jack.

See comment above. From what I've seen so far, she's pretty useless. Is she supposed to be some computer badass? 'Cause no, haven't seen that yet.

Owen...hypocrite much?

He skeeves me in hundred different ways. Again, I hope these people aren't supposed to be the best and the brightest, if so, somebody lied.

I thought it was about JACK and how HE and others try to save the Earth in the 21st century. I don't need to know who is sleeping with whom (or what in Tosh's case!).

Exactly! Jack's what drew me to the show, not some cop who can't seem to wrap her head around her new job. If I wanted to watch a cop show, there are already a few thousand of them to choose from. Yeah, I don't need all that who's-doing-who nonsense either.

What's really getting me lately is how LITTLE Jack is there;that could be because John is all over doing interviews but still. I'm there because of him!!

And truly, I miss Jack from DW;this guy is a bit darker and more mysterious than that Jack.

Just give him more to do/save!

Agreed; I'm disappointed as well. I want more Captain Jack, dammit! The BBC is clearly mocking my pain. ;-p
