kribuRight. Saw Torchwood. General verdict - a bit meh, but I've seen worse.
Team Torchwood is... just utter rubbish, yes? And in case we couldn't tell that they're utter rubbish, it was helpfully pointed out for us. A few times. By Team Torchwood, and by a random blowfish. (Who had mighty good teeth. Heh.)
Team Sarah Jane >>> Team Torchwood, yes.
Still, spending time without Jack around seems to have helped the team spirit somewhat, which was good to see.
Ianto was all jealous of everyone over Jack, awww. How cute. Not. Not that I have anything against Ianto, but he's a bit rubbish, isn't he? Although I guess he has useful skills, such as calling out for a taxi, or driving. He's just SO not my type that it makes the eye-candy aspect hard to buy, I guess, and without that, he's really a bit pointless.
Did I miss something last season with the whole big Jack/Gwen lurve? I mean, yeah, Gwen had a thing for him I guess (when she wasn't having a thing for Owen etc), but I don't remember there being any reason for Jack to act like a jilted lover or something. Ah well. I've probably just forgotten.
James Marsters was good but I didn't really care that much about the character.
The trailer for the rest of the season looked quite boring... still, all in all, while I can't say I loved this episode, it was entertaining enough (even if in the way that is likely going to make me forget it within the next hour or so), and I'm looking forward to seeing Martha.
Ought to do some more catching up with the SSHG exchange fics now... I seem to have a good 15 fics yet to read. Mostly the longer ones, although I've also noticed that I haven't just been skipping the longer ones but also the ones with higher ratings. Heh. There have been some real gems among the ones I've read though, and I've even got tentative guesses for the authors of a whole two fics (although I wouldn't be surprised if I was completely off the mark for at least one of them). I'm generally useless at guessing though, so with most, my guesses have been along the lines of "probably American / probably British".
