Today's dream: Two hero types open a big gate to the beyond in order to get back everything they lost.

One of them was a m to f transexual and had not quite thought this through.

... my brain, it is deeply, deeply strange.


(Looked like Jayne from Firefly, only with a sort of curly half grey scraggly not beard (from not shaving, not from deciding to have a beard); also Green Arrow, and then Red Arrow turned up with that Hawke guy to do the hero thing better. Green Arrow just passed Red Arrow, er, arrows.)

Guns shaking

Torchwood thought: Watching Ghost Machine and then Cyberwoman I looked at the guns and how people were handling them.
Cyberwoman? Everyone was shaking. Gwen, Ianto, but also Jack. But there were times he was steady and times he wasn't, so his gun was acting.

... at this point I snigger and decide to have a different thought now...



Am vaguely interested on people's thoughts about Torchwood and guns. Because I only ever learned air rifles with my dad when I was a kid, but I seem to have some Attitudes about them, and I think they're way the hell too casual about carrying them down the back of their trousers or pointing them at each other. Like an action movie attitude to the things? Only with ... I'm going to say British, but, non-action-movie hesitating to actually use them.

I don't know. It's a thing where it seems like a symptom or something that they carry the things at all. Weird, to me.

Rewatch 1-06 Countrycide

Yes, this is the one I swore I'd never ever ever watch again.
I have found it occupies quite disproportionate amounts of my brainspace. I think about it almost as much as I think about Cyberwoman. It won't go away.
So I'm going to watch it through to the end and hope that makes it finish properly.

Already I have learned that the amounts of ick have been successfully edited in my memory, so it's even more gross than I expected. Oh dear.

But there's stuff going on with Ianto which is actually interesting.

I started watching at around 1800 and here it is 2133. That's a very different way to watch. Seen all through, the tension builds in the way the writers intend, under their control. Now I have a pause button. And I'm watching shields up, fully in the know of where they're going, and with my brain on. Watching to see how it is done. I'm slightly nauseated, true, but I'm not half as freaked out. Not much freaked out at all. More fascinated by the technique, and by the character arc stuff I can pull out and isolate from the plot.

Ianto is all kinds of fun in this one.

Actually they all are.

I think I must admit, this is rather a good episode. In character, team work, roles assigned and distinct, and a whole lot of scary.

I just still feel cheated by the genre it turned out to be.



According to the online word count thingy I just used, that comes out at 5505 words.

... why is it I can't manage that many for homework?
Mind you, it would be about five-ten times too much, but.
*sigh*
