Tonight's Torchwood.


Who gave Ianto a personality transplant?!?! I actually found him intriguing tonight. He was fricking snarky! Go figure.

I realized part way through the nagging familiarity was to BSG.

Is the show getting more violent?

And what's with Owen and the American TV pop culture references? Tonight it was 'Jessica Fletcher'.

This ep made me cry.

Another enjoyable episode.

I remember last season I had suspicions he was leading Jack on to get revenge for him killing his cyber girlfriend, and I haven't entirely forgotten that.

Oh, that would be wonderful! But I don't think RTD is up to that level of sophisticated plot/character building (Come back, Joss, give us more Firefly/Angel/Buffy! Why have you left us?)

And what was with Owen and plant watering?

I know! Frigging, weird, isn't it? Triffids maybe? Might explain Owens personality changes - he's a pod person!

You're probably right. At the time, I was trying to figure out just why Ianto, supposedly so in love with his girlfriend that he risked everything, would so suddenly fall into Jack's bed. One minute he's screaming in grief and the next he's making pocket watch innuendo. Made no sense. Even less sense was that there is zero chemistry between Jack and Ianto. The words 'wet dishrag' constantly spring to mind. So thinking that Ianto was playing Jack worked perfectly!

This still niggles me too - and if I remember correctly, the episodes were back to back!

*Raises hand* Yup, me too! I couldn't wrap my head around it; why would Jack be interested in him - but if he'd been a bit more like he is now, I would have happily gone along with it. I think they're doing a big rewind and rewrite of the characters this season, so to fix the mess they made last year.
