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.

He's going to be dead by the end of the season, ain't he? It's a Joss thing.

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!

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!

*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.

(Except maybe I didn't notice it because it's like background around this house. Hubs is always walking around with a watering can and talking to his plants - I kid you not!)
Maybe they're trying to give the crew a bit more spark, like someone else mentioned. Little late to give them personality now, but hey. Maybe it's a good idea if the show's going to keep on keepin' on.
Also *veers off topic* I heard there's a new House ep next week? Huh. Thought there was a srike or somesuch
