rowanberriesSooooo.
Seen it.

:D
I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH I ENJOYED THAT.
Okay, the John/Jack meetup was overdone and too blatantly trying to be sexy. But the rest? 'Bloody Torchwood' INDEED, random little old lady! That was perfect, right down to Jack stepping in to do the killing, as we know he's able to do. I just. Bweeheehee.
I have a not-so-secret love for Jack/Ianto anyway, and so my reactions to most of the rest was predictable, right down to helpless cackling over angry!Ianto staring down an armed man and taking out his RAGE on the lift doors. HEE.
I liked Owen. I liked him. That's some sterling work right there. There were points when I liked Gwen! I remain violently opposed to Jack/Gwen, however, and will be displeased if the NEWLY ENGAGED Ms. Cooper gets off with yet another coworker. She needs to be less selfrighteous about that whole thing, really. Marrying Rhys because no-one else will have you? Ummmm... Thought that one through at all?
But I disgress. John Hart was a good villain, laying aside how very, very much he is just RTD wanting to direct Spike. (Right down to the accent. One day James Marsters should really be allowed to act with his own voice.) Oh, and just to mix up the Whedon-stealing, there's the drugged lipgloss trick from Firefly, too. Yes dear, very original. *eyeroll* But I still enjoyed it as a plot point, you know? Especially as it was so hilariously obvious what was going to happen, and carried on the fine tradition of everything that Jack warns against happening.
Oh my, and the rest of the season? Looks freaking AWESOME. Thank God.
Reactions, please! Talk to me!
Seen it.
