foxmonkeyOMG, Torchwood has completely jumped the shark. TOTALLY. I shall cut for spoileryness.
First of all...weh?
You know, it's a shame they didn't tie Owen's psychotic need to open the rift with his new Weevilishness -- that I could have swallowed. Or if he'd developed an undying loyalty to the team that drove him to save his teammembers from certain doom, destruction and rationing in WWII-era Cardiff. But come on, I'm supposed to swallow Owen the Uber-creep's sudden swing to a stalkerish kind of love for 1940's pilot girl? Uh, no. Sorry.
YAY! Ianto shot Owen! Boo, he didn't hit anything vital that would mean instant death, paralysis or a coma! The next time Jack talks to the Doctor and the Doctor's dismissive of the Torchwood team, Jack might want to take a step back and ask why.
YAY! Tosh being all competent and stuff! Boo, really crappily handled coincidences that Gwen would look in the most unlikely places EVAR to find the clues she left! Those plotholes were big enough for King Kong to slip through. Jeebus. Also, I've come to the conclusion that it's not the Tosh character that I can't swallow, it's the actress. She has two expressions: 1) Eyes open as wide as they can possibly go, and 2) Eyes not quite so open. Acting range of a teaspoon, folks.
YAY! Gwen didn't annoy me at all! There is no Boo here, believe it or not. This is the one episode where Gwen didn't royally piss me off. So again I say, YAY! Well, she did say that one little thing about not leaving Jack (what about Tosh?), but I'll overlook that in my sheer exuberance at being able to say GWEN DIDN'T BUG ME TONIGHT! Yay!
Last but certainly not least...No matter how much of the hot it was, I'm pretty sure that two military officers dancing, let alone kissing in public would not have ended well in the 1940s. Hey! Maybe we'll find out later that the square-jawed original Jack Harkness wasn't killed by the enemy, but was really gunned down by his own men??? (My money would be on the guy whose girlfriend tried to crucify Tosh.) Now there's a twist I wouldn't see coming!
Last one of the season next week! I'm excited to catch the fallout from this week's episode...

Date: 2007-11-25 10:40 pm (UTC)Oh believe me, I'm *very* much aware that her reduced screentime played a major factor in my reduced Gwen!hate this week. ;-D Still, since she's capable of annoying the hell out of me about 85 times in a 30-second time period, I gave her the benefit of the doubt on this one. Sadly, I'm sure they'll more than make up for it next week. ::cries::
what bugs me the most is the idea (expressed by many a fan girl) that Jack and Jack were actually *falling in love* during this episode. [snip] Seriously, I become borderline enraged when people refer to Real!Jack as TW!Jack's one true love. Ugh.
Weh? I'm with you, I didn't get that swoony One Twu Wuv feeling either. Heavy, heavy on the guilt, as you mentioned, yes, and definitely Gettin' My Gay On, as you also mentioned.
Obviously, the Doctor is Jack's big gay unrequited love, and in my fannish mind, he's about to fall madly in love with Martha, but won't show it because the Doctor would kick his big, immortal ass. Or sonic it, more likely, and not in the fun way.
Also, because I haven't said it in a while...Ianto shot Owen! Yay!!!
