Torchwood!



BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh, man, THAT'S more like it. Hilarity. And a reminder of why I haven't been able to take Jack seriously since "Exit Wounds." Buried alive again! In concrete! AND IANTO STEALING HIM WITH A FORKLIFT. (I may not have the terminology right. I do not, in fact, actually care.) I laughed so hard I had to hit Pause.

In other news:

* I had a feeling I'd like Ianto's brother-in-law. I got the impression yesterday that he isn't really a jerk, he's just crude. He was pretty awesome in this ep and I approve.

* Prime Minister Green? Played by Horatio from Branagh's Hamlet. I didn't spot it yesterday, because Nicholas Farrell has aged quite a bit, but it's definitely him and now I get to supplement my viewing pleasure with Hamlet-themed snark.

* A FORKLIFT YOU GUYS HAHAHAHA.

* RHYS. I LOVE RHYS. So protective and smart and trying so hard, bless him.

There was probably a bunch of other stuff to say, and I may well edit once I've been off reading others' reactions and I'm reminded, but it was all wiped out of my brain by FORKLIFT HILARITY. Oh my god, sometimes this show just hits the exact right note of STUPID and AWESOME and then I just love it SO MUCH.

Edit: You know, I bet PM Green bites it too. Jesus, that country really burns through Prime Ministers, doesn't it?

Yes! Exactly! This kind of thing is Torchwood at its best - campy crazytimes with enough audacity to make the holes that are bigger than the plot they're in not matter nearly so much. I just really hope it can keep it up for another three episodes.

It's only five episodes? I'd thought it was six, for some reason--ach, well. I'm cool with five, too.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Six would be lovely, but nope. Five. And no guarantee of a series four. So we'll see what we see!

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

Depending on how this ends, I could be all right with no series four. Or I could be demanding one from the barricades. *shrug* We'll see, eh?

[catslash.livejournal.com]

It could go either way. Especially with RTD's bewildering history with finales.

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

Yeah--if it winds up like 'Journey's End' (SHEER AWESOME finished with one great big mess of WTFery), I think I'm going to have to give up.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Like I gave up after "Exit Wounds"?

*halo*

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

... yeah, just like that. >_>;;;;

We are strong and resolute!

Or something.
