Dear Torchwood writers, everything is forgiven.
Love, me.

When I watched it this morning at around 7 am, it only had 200-odd views. Now it's 2000-odd...

ETA: Here's the other one...

It's like... 'Destiny' if Joss hadn't been so wary of turning subtext into text! *does the happy dance*

ETA: Oh and I love how Tosh is competent, how Owen drapes his arm behind Gwen all casual-like, how Ianto is clearly jealous and how Gwen is so wonderfully womanly frustrated at Jack's non-sharing. "Drives me crazy!" makes me giggle every time.

Oh and I changed my lay-out. :)

Hey, all the cool kids are doing it!

It has elements of the end of

Smashed

, a very direct reference to Spike's arrival in

School Hard

and fighting of a hotness not really seen since

Destiny

. The snog is the least of its attractions.

Have you seen the pretty pic in the new

Radio Times

?

Heh. Nice to have it handy... ;)

I wouldn't say that! *g* But I know what you mean - and actually I really like how it's so obviously a fight for supremacy, rather than tender (we have Ianto for that!).

Nooo! *wants* Now I have to buy Radio Times? *counts spare change*

Boy-snogging doesn't turn me off, but it doesn't turn me on either. But the sheer heat of that fight - wow.

And all the knowing little Jossverse visual refs. Like Scoobies without Buffy at the start of

BtVS

S2...

My great fear is that by the time they actually show it we'll have seen all the hottest bits already. And know them by heart.

For me it depends very much on the boys and the circumstances - f.ex. the Jack/Jack scenes in S1 of TW mostly made me cringe.

But the sheer heat of that fight - wow.
*nods a lot* Beautifully done!

Or S6! (Someone is clearly a Buffy/AtS fan. I noticed the way Jack opened both doors!)

This is (one reason) why I usually avoid spoilers like the plague, but... *meeps* Actually now I'm terribly keen to see what happens once the team arrive. Should be fun! :)

[shapinglight]

I enjoyed it too. But I'm not changing my layout.

[elisi]

Heeee! Partly I just wanted rid of the Christmassy theme, and since I'd just come across a banner I liked... *g*

There are no words to describe how excited I am for S2 of TW. Could the writers/producers love us any more? Seriously.

[elisi]

I *know*! It would appear that all the weaknesses of the show have been turned into strengths - at least that's what I hope! *crosses fingers*

(Happy sigh, melts into puddle)

Is it wrong that I'm enjoying the fighting probably more than the kissing? The kiss seems like a struggle for dominance and is very hot in its own way, and the fight just seems like they're having a hell of a good time.

How many photomanips would you say will pop up in the next few days with Angel's head where Barrowman's is?

[elisi]

Well as you say one is pretty much an extension of the other... but the fight is *awesome*! Really well done and choreographed and filmed etc. (Can't wait to see what happens when the team turn up! *g*)

I wouldn't dare guess... but the hair and the height certainly fit. :)

Re: your latest post - I wish you'd stop disabling comments. It means I can't jump in and write 'snerk' whenever I want.

[elisi]

Heeeeee! So sorry, but I just can't be bothered with the well meaning and well thought out arguments that would no doubt appear too. It's like someone trying to defend 'Cyberwoman' - can't be done.

[shapinglight]

I agree it's getting that way. Odd that an issue that is, for the most part, quite well-written, looks like being the one that has finally tipped me over the edge. Buffy the bank robber was sort of the final straw - unless she really is the FE in corporeal form all the time. Then I'm okay with it.

Same here. I've just dumped all my illgotten downloads in the 'trash', and I feel so much better! :)

Oh and if it *is* The First, then I take back everything I've said. Well no, that's not true. Skinless Warren will always be lame.

[shapinglight]

Well no, that's not true. Skinless Warren will always be lame.

Yes, for sure.

I do wonder sometimes whether I'd be enjoying it a lot more if Willow was the character I liked best out of the ones featured heavily, but unfortunately, she's not. Buffy is. And I hate what Joss has done with her.

You are echoing my thoughts exactly.

[ringthebells]

Yay, thanks for the embedding!

[elisi]

My pleasure. :)

[lynnenne]

I CANNOT STOP SQUEEING OVER THIS IT IS THE HOTTEST THING EVER.

[elisi]

Heeeeee! Life is goooooooooooood! :)

[flake-sake.livejournal.com]

Oh it's just sososososo pretty! If nothing else, the Torchwodd writers know you to fanservice to perfect satisfaction!

And squee to the layout!

[elisi]

Oh it's just sososososo pretty!
I can forgive *so* much as long as it's pretty enough! /is shallow *g*

If nothing else, the Torchwodd writers know you to fanservice to perfect satisfaction!
*nods* And also there might actually be an arc this year. I'm actually thinking it might be *good*! :)

And squee to the layout!
Thank you! :)

Yep, I have high hopes too :) and I'm so in love with the idea of Martha at Torchwood.
(And of course I wanted to write "how to fanservice", not "you to fanservice", must have caught too much ether today)

[elisi]

Yep, I have high hopes too :)
Well it can't be worse than s8 at least. ;)

and I'm so in love with the idea of Martha at Torchwood.
Oh me too! And I've been wondering if she met any of the team when she was travelling round the world...

must have caught too much ether today
Heh. They can fanservice me any day of the week! *g*

[flake-sake.livejournal.com]

I just converted it for my i-pod, so that I can watch it all day. I'm officially a total geek now. :)

What took you so long? ;)
