Torchwood - To the Last Man



Love the flashback and getting to see very old Torchwood. :-)

I love Tosh getting herself all ready for the day, primping. She's so gorgeous.

Tommy is awesome. I love looking at him, and I love his sense of humor. And he's so earnest.

Gwen: So young.
Ianto: They all were. Nothing changes.

Aw, Tosh and Tommy are playing pool. Or am I supposed to call it billiards because they're in the UK? I've never quite sorted that out.

Ooh, ghosts, yay! I love this explanation for them -- that they're time accidents, little slips of reality from one time into another.

Jack: 1918 this place was full of wounded soldiers.
A million British soldiers killed during the great war.
It's like walking into hell.
Believe me. I was there.

Tommy, you are so sweet and earnest! Telling Tosh you'd do anything for her.

YES. This bit with Gwen seeing the ghost-nurse, and the nurse seeing the ghost-Gwen, is so great.

Love, love, love Tommy calling Tosh a 'daft lass.' Makes me go all melty and I'm not even sure why. Maybe because it sounds so affectionate.

Tommy: Well, we could go back to mine but there's no room for two and it's bloody freezing. LOL!!!

Awwww, Owen telling Tosh he doesn't want her to get hurt. So sweet. I don't think for a second that they'd make a good match -- I don't think Owen is Tosh's type, nor is she his -- but I like him being nice to her. I actually think Ianto would be a better match for Tosh than Owen is, not that I'm interested in seeing Ianto/Tosh at all.

Ianto: Would you go back to yours? If you could?
Jack: Why? Would you miss me?
Ianto: Yup.
Awwwwwwww, smoochies! HOW MUCH DO I LOVE THIS SHOW for giving me canon slash? SO MUCH.

As usual, when time stuff starts to get really wonky, I start to get kind of confused, but I just don't try to make too much sense of it anymore because it makes my brain hurt.

Poor Tommy. Poor Tosh. :-(

The rift key thing is very cool. I want one.

I hope someone will write up a really good essay about the theme of change in this episode, because I would like to read it and I'm not capable of writing it myself!

My icon is looking at your icon and considering the possibilities.

Also, I love Owen's sympathy. This is the Owen I wanted all last season.

Ooh, Tosh. She's so pretty and hopeful and *shy* and just...
*hands*
And Tommy! Her hero, trying to be so brave for her...

I adored that kiss between Ianto and Jack. Loved. It.

And yes, Owen being a pal! That was nice nice.
*hugs them all*

No, it's still pool! We also have snooker, which you wouldn't see in a pub; a working men's club or a posh club, maybe. Billiards is played on a snooker table but different rules/balls.

I learned to play pool in a working men's club but, get this, women weren't allowed to play on the snooker table as we 'might rip the cloth'.

What with, my stiletto heels? /sarcasm.

Tommy was so sweet. I loved them going out on their date and Gwen and Jack looking like Mom and Dad watching their little girl and her fella go out for malteds. :D I never get tired of watching Jack and Ianto snog. They need to do that every week.

I hope we see more of olde tyme Torchwood. I love anything that shows backstory. That time key was very steampunk Jules Verneish.

Awwww, Owen telling Tosh he doesn't want her to get hurt.

I liked this scene, too. I've felt like Owen's been a bit off in these few episodes, but I actually thought this was right in character. Owen knows from dating anachronistic people. After Diane I can really believe that he wouldn't want someone he cares about to have to go through that pain.

Hee! Mmmm, double-Jack, there's no bad there!

I love Owen. :-)

I think we should have a whole episode of Jack and Ianto kissing. And doing other things. That would be nice. :-)

Good grief! :-P

Tommy was completely adorable. :-)

Exactly! I completely agree with you.

I love Tosh getting herself all ready for the day, primping. She's so gorgeous.

Isn't she, though? It's a quiet beauty, hers, but one that draws you in.

She's so pretty and gentle! :-)
