Torchwood: Exit Wounds

[usuallyhats]

An exciting liveblogging adventure! or something. I am iconning at the same time so will probably miss bits. Ho hum.



"Did you just say time agency? Is that based in Cardiff too?" Rhys love!

LOL at Ianto just shooting the grim reapers dead!

Oh, Rhys is so proud of Gwen, aw! Also him and Andy snarking each other was v. funny. "Great secret. I ask, you tell."

I am not really interested in the Jack-Grey-John storyline in any way, I'm afraid. But I am amused by supposedly-dead Jack flinching every time the soil falls on his face.

"will you marry me again?" GWEN/RHYS MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER. But now I fear Rhys may die.

Poor Tosh, bad enough that she's all shot, but she has to listen to Grey pontificate too.

I really wish newwho heroes would stop giving people absolution. It's a bit sanctimonious.

"Where've they all gone?"
"Abergavenny?" OK Torchwood, I admit you are pretty good at the comedy dialogue. Less drama, more comedy plzkthnx.

I somehow doubt that Jack spending centuries buried alive will be mentioned again ever.

Oh hai, all the spoilers are coming true! I don't like Owen but this... this is gratuitously nasty. :(

If Owen and Tosh stay dead I may have to allow Torchwood a grudging bit of respect. But if they cop out and everything gets reset I shall be very angry indeed.

Yay, Rhys lives! And now QI is on.

Heh, I must admit I didn't - I was spoiled for what was going to happen, and I wasn't really concentrating that much in the end!

I don't think Jack was dead at all when John started burying him. He just closed his eyes. So the flinching wasn't so bad. XD

[usuallyhats]

Ah, I missed that, apparently I was concentrating even less than I thought! OK Torchwood, I'll let you off that one.

No, I don't think it will either. But it should be. It was solitary confinement for nearly 2,000 years. That has to leave a mark! It should at least get a passing mention.

[usuallyhats]

I'd like it to, but I'm not holding out that much hope!

Burn Gorman has mentioned coming back to film S3 in a couple of interviews, so somehow I doubt we've seen the last of those two. That and New Whoniverse, for all Uncle Rusty's attempts to be dark, is inherently fluffy and has a happyish ending.

I hope Tosh doesn't stay dead :(

[ghostpaw.livejournal.com]

Although, maybe it's not all bad, it does leave a handy vacancy for a medic's post...

[usuallyhats]

I am clinging to this hope pretty madly. Martha and Gwen, my two favourite new Who characters on the same show! It would be great.

[usuallyhats]

Yeah, no one stays dead in the whoniverse for very long... I've gone off Tosh a bit recently but I still wouldn't mind having her back, but I'd rather not have Owen!

[ghostpaw.livejournal.com]

I'm going to miss both of them, TBH. Especcially Tosh though, she deserved better. She may have had issues, but she was, well, brilliant. As for Owen, he may have been a tit sometimes, but he was an entertaining tit.

On reflection, they're not coming back. Nothing says finality like a so long and thanks for all the coffee video.

I suppose it's for the best they both went at the same time. If only one of them had died it would have destroyed the other, and that would have been unbearable.

[usuallyhats]

When Tosh was good, she was great, but I was beginning to feel that the writers only had two settings for her: do something awesome or pine over Owen. If they'd dumped that second bit I would be much sorrier to lose her! As for Owen, he was ok in small doses but whole Owen-episodes were a bit tedious, I thought. And I liked him better when he was a git for no reason and not because his mum didn't love him. Burn Gorman is a great actor though. If we had to lose two characters, I'm glad it was those two rather than the others.

Jack spent nearly 2000 years in the ground and the coat is still fine! Just how good is proper vintage RAF tailoring? I want one!

[usuallyhats]

Hee! One of the many absurdities of the "Jack gets buried alive for 1900 years" storyline...

[the-smut-fairy.livejournal.com]

I wonder how John Barrowman managed to miss the opportunity to wander about nekkid when he had the excuse of "what? It's been 2000 years! All my clothes have decayed and fallen off!" Seems most uncharacteristic.

[usuallyhats]

That would have been fantastic, I can't believe they didn't do it! But it might have undermined the air of "this r srs episode, we r srs alien fighting agency" they seemed to be going for this week.

[the-smut-fairy.livejournal.com]

Oh, and another reason for me wanting the coat: it appears to be bulletproof. I expect that at a range as close as this, the exiting bullets would have utterly destroyed the back of a lesser garment.

[usuallyhats]

I am assuming the coat can't die either. Or maybe the RAF are just really really good at making coats...
