redfiona99I'm not so sure if I like the meme going round about 'topics you would like me to post about' because that's what I like about reading other people's blogs, they cover stuff I know nothing about. It makes life interesting.
Torchwood - The One with the Wedding
It gets points for using Super Furry Animals's 'Fire In My Heart'.
I find it amusing that Nerys Hughes seems to have turned into her mother - which will be a joke that goes flying over the heads of the younglings and the non-Brits on my f-list.
Okay, so I'm cheap and easy so I enjoyed it. Especially Tosh and the irritant. And that the best way of insuring Owen's presence on a date is to assure him it's not a date. There was much laughter in our household at that part.
So how are they going to get round them being on their honeymoon and no one remembering the wedding. I imagine both sets of Mother's might be really annoyed.
Rhys is lovely. I know that doesn't need saying, but he's so lovely.
And now for my rant about Torchwood fandom
Has no one ever considered that Ianto might be entirely okay with Jack flirting with everyone, and possibly might also be alright with him loving Gwen.
I know we've not been told that he is, but at the same time we haven't been told that he isn't, so why jump to that conclusion.
Part of the problem is that GDL has the same problem as me - sad face syndrome. He always looks marginally uncomfortable.
Also, if he doesn't realise that Jack is Jack and he can love 16 different people at the same time, well then Ianto is dumber than a brick, and I have little sympathy. If you claim to like a character at least give him the intelligence he's shown to have on-screen.
Also, and this is a direct quote, Ianto described what they do as dabbling. That means there's every chance that it's not that serious yet. There is nothing in this world that pains me more about my gender than the large swathes of them that don't get sex != love. And also the reverse. Ianto has just (say 6 months) had his girlfriend, the one he was going to marry, die on him, in fact, I believe shot in front of him, so there's every chance he's not up for some great world ending romance. And, you have to admit, Jack is probably the most fantastic rebound hook up ever.

Date: 2008-03-13 04:24 pm (UTC)I agree with the stuff about the TW fandom. I mean, honestly, I'd love to see Jack/Ianto live happily ever after, but that's the purely romantic side of me. I don't like Gwen in general, but I do have to admit that Jack does love her. and that yes, as of right now what he and Ianto have is just a fling. It would be nice to see other people realize that while it could grow to be more (maybe) it's nowhere near there yet.
However, I also MUST use my Jack/Ianto icon. 'Cause it's a requirement for TW comments.

Date: 2008-03-13 08:55 pm (UTC)I admit I'm not a fan of the hinted love between Jack and Gwen but it's not because of Ianto (seriously, shouldn't everyone be more outraged on Rhys' behalf than Ianto's?). It just doesn't click for me. It seems so awkward on out of place from Jack's point of view and I can't decide if that's because it against his flirty character or because of John Barrowman's occasional woodenness (I love the guy but he isn't the best actor in the world, or even the show).
And I love Gareth David-Lloyds punched puppy look. Absolutely adorable.
