Blah blah blah
1) I like the meme where you tell the person what makes you think of them. Let's play!
2) Where is Shia? I have not seen any photos of him in weeks. This was a pressing question in my head the other night. He's still bitter about the break-up of his first gay relationship I know; he's better off without that teetotalling vegan anyway. I need to get him a new man. Maybe Ryan Gosling in that new film he's doing with Don Cheadle and George Clooney. It's called Night Crimes. Did I mention that Anderson Cooper has decided to work as a liaison for George? Yes, it's all very nice of him. He'll get paid in sex. What's that you say? You say you went to imdb and this movie isn't listed?! Well duh. Do you really think we'd get that lucky in real life?
3) I posted music on Friday for anyone who missed it.
3) I finally had a chance to see the first two new Torchwoods.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
a) Jack left the team? Best decision EVAR. Everybody is a selfish twat (except for Ianto) and deserved to be left after all their ungrateful behaviour.
b) John Barrowman continues to be the hottest gay man ever. Okay, he ties with George, but still. Cary Grant would be proud of his legacy.
c) He came back for Ianto! AWWWWWWWWWW! *squishes*
d) Wow, when did Russell T Davis become a hardcore Gwen/Jack shipper? Jack's upset she's engaged? They're having a moment. Somebody wake me up from this nightmare!
e) Gwen still irks the stuffing out of me, but Eve Myles has great hair. Damn.
f) Wait, is Owen trying to chat up Tosh?!
g) Jack asks Ianto out on a date! Dude, why did this have to happen after the Gwen moment, now it's been sullied like Ianto is second best. Bad! Boooo!
h) Some other stuff happens when Spike visits. I never cared for Spike though, and James Marsters needs to eat some meat. The fighting was good though. And I like how John obviously is still pining for Jack. Hell, I'd still be pining for Jack after a couple millennia too.
Sleeper
Wow did I not like this episode, I understand the whole concept of a sleeper agent perfectly, what upset the hell out of me was the whole treating of a victim as a suspect and Jack's complete disregard for anything in the assurance in what he just had to know was right. What if he'd been wrong? Yes, I know he wasn't, but at the same time it was like sitting in interrogation at Guantanamo. Yeah, no love for this episode.
ETA: Sorry about that cut-tag SNAFU!
Are there any topics/things/whatever that you notice or think about that makes you think of me every time? If so, what are they? I'm curious!

They would have retconned her, dropped her back in her life, and then forgotten all about it.

Yup. They are incompetent, overconfident to the point of obnoxious arrogance, all the while believing they are the saviors of humanity. If the show wasn't so cracktastic it would be utterly horrifying. As it is, I enjoy the hell out of it because it's such a fucking joke. Torchwood is really supposed to be our first line of defense against the end of the world? Poor Wales. ;-)
Oh, and:
Wow, when did Russell T Davis become a hardcare Gwen/Jack shipper? Jack's upset she's engaged?
I didn't read it that way at ALL. Jack is an egomaniac who doesn't like to share. He wants all of them to worship him. I don't think he gives a shit about Gwen's sex life (he didn't seem all that concerned when she was banging Owen) but the idea that she would actually commit herself to someone is threatening to his position as the object of worship and focus for all the members of his team. I think he prefers them disfunctional and damaged. More fun that way. (Don't get me wrong, though. I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuv Jack for that very reason. He's a total bastard.)
no subject
Jesus, you're right. I'd always sort of glossed over how totally immoral and unethical they are -- except for when Gwen retconned Rhys, that made me murderous -- but this just completely made me livid. *shakes head* Poor Wales, indeed. Unless the end of the world can be stopped by mere hotass alone.
Also, I very much like your take on control-freak Jack, who loves his dysfunctional damaged team. It makes me think of the analogy I had last year where Jack was a single-parent and everyone else was one of his wayward child. In this scenario Ianto was the stepmom though, which is why everyone ignored his authority. Jack is a total bastard. A hotass total bastard. Hotass excuses a lot.

Seriously, Jim Profit has them all beat ethics-wise. But he can't run that team because he'd kill them all.
