Torchwood 9

Overall, I really did enjoy this episode. But the same complaint: when will we get an episode about Jack?

I think most of my problem with loving this show is that I really don't care one way or the other about any of the team. The only one I actually like is Gwen. As far as the big pairing of Jack and Ianto, IMHO they have absolutely zero chemistry. It leaves me not caring what happens with it all.

Maybe if it gets picked up for another series, they'll add some characters I'll actually like and have some sort of emotional investment in. Or not.

At least I'm not the only one who liked this ep. All the fan forums are blowing up with "how boring!" just because it wasn't non-stop action or UST (which I enjoy as well, mind you), but I liked that it focused on normal human (non-canibal) issues, like the relationship with his father, etc. The relationships in Eugene's life were real & something an audiance could connect with, and I think it was good to bring the show back down to Earth for a moment. Next week will be back to gratuitous sex as usual.

As for when we'll gt some Jack-centric eps, supposedly in 2 weeks, and theoreticly a bit in next week's ep as well. Can't say more without giving spoilers (for those who wish to avoid such), but here's to hoping.

As far as the Ianto/Jack pairing, let's agree to disagree? Mainly because I've decided I want a pet Ianto, and want any kind of plot where I get more of him...I will hold him, and squeeze him, and call him George 0:-) I'll stash him in the closet with my Pocket Horsemen...

LOL! Okay, you can have Ianto all to yourself. I want to smack him and tell him to get a freakin' grip. But if I do that, you can comfort him, k? [g] Kiss it even and make it all better.

As for Jack-centric eps... YAY!! Now him, he can stay in my closet.

Promise? 'Cause hurt/comfort can be all kinds of fun, and he cowers/gets-beat-up sooo adorably...

I have issues...I am aware...

Don't suppose we could time-share Jack a bit?

I'm pretty sure Jack would expect it [g]
