torchwood 2.4

Torchwood. Meat. Great ep, though i have quibbles with some points.

Rhys was amazing. Loved him. 
Is Jack jealous of Gwen now? Seems to be. 
Ianto was good as a full fledged member of the team. 
Tosh was pathetic, pining after Owen - and i liked her last week! ARGH. 
Owen the vet, and euthaniser. I'm so sorry.
Is Jack telepathic now too? Gosh, is there no end to the things he can do?
Gwen was predictable, running after Rhys. Yawn there. 
Jack is different than the Jack who interrogated Beth with suck hostility, imho. Very inconsistent writing, and with Tosh, too. 

On the other hand.. Ooh. Gray. Jack's little brother. Let go of his hand. 

Can't wait to see more Rhys and Gray in future. Yay.

edit: I have Rhys icon! YES.

Arg, are you still puking? Better than the horrible mega-puking you were doing before, I hope? *hugs*

Yes, this silly Jack/Gwen thing feels very much like something that's being imposed on the writers by RTD. He must have sent out a memo saying "There wasn't enough sexual tension last series! I want more sexual tension! Between EVERYONE!"

I really hope it goes nowhere and Gwen stays with Rhys. It may be boring from a dramatic perspective, but it would make her a more likeable character.

Yeah once maybe per day, nothing too serious. Meh.

yeah, exactly. And we don't need no more of that silliness. I agree, she'd be better off with Rhys, not dipping into Owen's bed and then Jack's bed, etc. *headdesk*

If you can't relate to the characters, then what fun are they? And i can't relate to anyone bed hopping like that, its cheap and whorish and awful.

Indeed. I really liked her at the start of the first series but as soon as she cheated on Rhys, I kind of lost interest in her as a character. Maybe if he'd been mistreating her or something, but he wasn't. And if you don't like of care about the characters in a show like this then it gets boring very quickly.

Shows are, largely, today, character and relationship-driven.

Speaking of which, i can't WAIT for Ashes to Ashes tonight. Wheee!

Hmmmm. I'm not sure about that to be honest. Life on Mars was great but it had such a clear ending to it, I'm dubious about how this spin-off will work. I just hope they can maintain the same quality.

We're going out to see Cloverfield tonight, but will be setting the vid.

Anyhoo, El fancies Gene Hunt so even if the show is guff, we'll be watching it each week! LOL

Gene Hunt is a dinosaur, but he's a lot of fun, too. :)
