Well...
OK, so I thought that since I'd actually written this stuff down, I might as well post it.
- Grossness factor up by a million this week! Although they creepiness factor was very well done.
- Stupid stuff: Out of all of them *no one* had a mobile? Pretty unlikely. Also why didn’t they shoot the freaks? I audibly cheered when Jack finally opened fire!
Characters:
- Ianto. Why is he there? I mean he appears to hate everything, so why hasn’t he left? I’m sincerely hoping they’re going to give him some sort of reason for hanging around - because currently he’s just annoying me. He’s obviously ‘the outsider’, doing a bit of ‘telling, not showing’ when the need arises. Please, please let him have a crush on Jack...
- Jack. Charming, but remote. He’s like... a shark or something, where we only get to see the fin and never what’s under the water.
- Toshiko. Still a blank. It’s been 6 episodes already - what’s up with this? (Joss can create a character in 3 minutes, surely Tosh can get fleshed out just a little?)
- Gwen. Still very much the heart of the whole thing, pulled in in spite of herself. One thing - has she never seen ‘Silence of the Lambs’? The ‘villagers’ were obviously Hannibal Lecter’s freaky country cousins. Of course she wouldn’t be able to understand, they were *insane*!
- Owen. Now I wouldn’t say that I *like* Owen, but he’s growing on me because he’s interesting. He’s the only one whose development has been done fairly well I think - snippets here and there, slowly building up a bit of a picture.
- And of course Gwen/Owen. This is obviously not a ‘good’ thing as such, what with poor Rhys and all, but I like how it’s been handled. A kiss to set things in motion 2 weeks ago, and then in this episode things played rather well (see icon). For this show, the set-up has been rather subtle, because although I totally called that Gwen was developing a thing, I was definitely taken back by the last scene - but in a good way. It doesn't matter if it's 'nice' - as long as it makes sense (characterwise) and is interesting, that's all I want. And with Gwen/Owen that's what I got this week.
Also of course![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I still like it best for the Welshness, though, and particularly liked this week's trip to the Brecon Beacons, as you can see them from my mum's house where I grew up and she still lives.

Yay! I hope I'll keep liking her... ;)
it's not 'must see' for me in the way that Bones is at the moment
Never got into Bones - maybe I should, but time just seems to fly and I can never remember to watch more than one programme a week...
particularly liked this week's trip to the Brecon Beacons
There's nothing like seeing a familiar place on screen - I ljust wish they'd had less slaughter and more pretty countryside! :)

A shark with feet. And on land!
(Sorry. Not much else to add since I missed all but the last ten minutes of that episode, but I couldn't resist...)
no subject
And the end was definitely the best part (actually I missed the beginning... maybe I should go back and watch it...)
