Reaction/Review of Torchwood 2.2

[unfeathered]

I quite liked it. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either.

The characters all got a decent amount of screen time, and there was some wonderful banter. (Owen’s “Let’s all have sex” because the world was ending springs to mind particularly – some writers have obviously been reading fanfic! *g*)

There was a bit too much Gwen emoting with Beth, but I’m still liking Gwen this season, so I didn’t mind as much as I would have done last season. And I am adoring Ianto this season. He’s gone from being the one I didn’t even notice last season to my second favourite after Jack this season! Great interplay between the two of them too.

I liked the idea of the sleeper agents, but the actual story didn’t really grab me. Neither did Beth. I’m not quite sure why: I liked the way she loved her husband and didn’t want them to let her hurt anyone or turn into a monster, but, I don’t know – I think she took it all in a bit quickly? Accepted that she was an alien too easily? Not sure.

Oh, and Beth in Jack’s drawer in cold storage… Presumably they actually only have two drawers that work. Or was it just that they use them in order so that one will keep getting used until someone actually stays in it? *g*

I did quite like "Let's all have sex." :P Gee, it seems I need an Owen icon.

I so need to buy some more icon space. I have no TW icons except for Jack, and I'd like some S2 icons, plus I don't have Yana, or a Doctor/Master one (still), plus various Buffy & Angel characters (I'm using one of the Spike ones Chatona made me over at Whoville but haven't got it uploaded here) and... Yeah. I need to buy more space.

As for you, though, I'd rather see the spontaneous orgasm icon than Owen, really. :-)

Apologises to unfeathered for the icon *smooches*

It's weird. I know I started writing him while the show was on hiatus but I pretty much take him or leave him (apart from his snark) But the giggle Captain John gave me in KKBB makes me want to icon Owen much more than I ever did before...

You don't have to apologise! I don't hate Owen, and there are some quite pretty/funny pictures about. :-)

Oh I know you don't but you'd just said what you'd just said so... *g*

Yeah. And actually, he does almost look pretty in that icon of yours!

Recently I find myself praising people for their good Owen voices - it's almost worrying. In fact having written that I should probably be more worried that I'm *not* worried enough. *ties self in verbal knot* ARGH you know what I mean :D

Yeah, I know what you mean. :-)
