Sorry. I tried to warn you about the stabbity stupid.
I know. I just couldn't even imagine that Barrowman would be THAT BAD.
You need need need to watch the declassified thingee, because as it turns out, to film that scene they basically had a great big green triangle on a ten-foot stick that they poked CyberSkank with repeatedly. SO MUCH FUN!
*steels self* Perhaps I can just speed through anything with RTD, then.
Um, so the official Rustese on the matter (from an earlier declassified thingee) is that... the office is an abandoned Tube station? Confronted with the idea that, perhaps, there is no Underground in Cardiff, RTD kind of muttered and waved his hands and they cut to a different question. No, really.
Really really? *bangs head repeatedly against wall* I did notice the very Tubey-style curved, tiled wall with "Torchwood" in the tiles, and I did wonder, but thought, "...It's in CARDIFF!"
Oh, and they're right under the big watery Freudian thingabob outside the shiny cultural center doodle (um, check it out in Boom Town), and... the water's gotta drain somewhere? Ok, pretty much just chalk it up to ambience.
*headdesk*
Um... they're saving space for all those competent people they're gonna hire... someday? Again, a bit of the Tube seems to have gotten horribly, horribly lost.
The old Aldwych station they closed down must have gotten up and walked off to Cardiff.
THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!
I do try.
But woah, if you wanna see bad... tonight was a whopper. I had to *avert my eyes* because I just couldn't bear to look at delivery that awkward. That, and TPTB seem to be trying to 1) murder Jack's character, and 2) make him straight. WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO POOR JACK??
*criez*
Yes, "adult" means "adolescent boy." Didn't anyone tell you?
Well, I'd gotten that impression from everyone's reaction to the first three episodes, yes...
No, that's just his Undying Emo Pain.
Right, right.
You haven't actually seen that episode, have you? We could fix that... You know you want more baaaaaaad....
I think I might kill myself if I watch any more of this. Seriously. Although I am curious about the fairies from this week.
A show that has a PRECEDENT for a Snog of Life makes me die a little on the inside.
Yes, that is exactly what this show does to me.
Because, yes, Jack got immortal'd when Rose did that TARDIS-CPR stuff, and now he's got... immortality to spare? Via snog? Be glad you didn't see the CGI version. But it explains why they had to warp his character beyond all recognition, 'cause otherwise the entire population of Cardiff would be immortal now. Or something. I miss the old Jack.
I ddin't even like the old Jack, and I still want to see him back in the place of this...random bitter person.
Rumor is she cheats on him before they break up. Ouch!
Well, I figured that much. After all, cheating is the "adult" thing to do.
What, her "let's stand in a doorway and stare and totally forget to run away and save everybody?" Um, many many things are Jack's fault, but not that.
Well, that was dumb, but I was referring more to the "I used my initiative" in programming the doors to unlock again so that pizza girl and Ianto could get in. Had Jack told her his plans, she wouldn't have done something so stupid.
But it has John Barrowman on it, and he's squeeing! (Seriously, it makes David Tennant look... dignified.)
In other words, he looks like a person and not a robot when he's not "acting"?
And there's a poor, mistreated actress in a CyberKini getting attacked by a green-screened triangle on a pole! With barbeque sauce! And the pole-wrangler is wearing a cape. WATCH IT! (It's only ten minutes of pain, I promise.)
I'll give it a try.
Oh, and tonight's ep: JACK FED A KID TO AN EVIL MONSTER AND IT WAS FABULOUS!
I did hear about that. I may have to...investigate...
