BRING ON THE WANK

[tencrush]

Wow, what a busy busy day at my eljay it's been. I'm in a right bitchy mood today, so may I just say that if you feel the need to bitch about me, don't do it your flocked journal, that's just silly, do it HERE! I want to share in the hate.

Some bitchworthy opinions I have:
1) I think John Barrowman is obnoxious. I don't hate the guy, I don't really actually have an opinion on him one way or the other, but if I had to veer in a certain direction, obnoxious would be that direction.
2) Gareth David-Lloyd, in season two of Torchwood, was a chubster. Chinless, beergutty tubbyboy. He's looking better now and even in season two of Torchwood I'd have fucked him silly, but yeah, he was a fatty.
3) Freema's a shit actress. I got defriended over that one. Any other takers?

GO ON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

I think GDL's a brilliant little actor, and he's just getting started. I'm excited to see him move on. I credit him with the fascination a lot of people have for Ianto's character, a lot of that is down to very good, subtle acting choices on his part. His really strong point is reaction shots, and that's such a difficult thing to get right, and he's consistenly awesome at it, not over the top, but clear and nuanced. I love him.

Having said that, as you say, funny is not his strong point, he's been either over the top or underwhelming on quite a few occasions.

I don't think Ianto would be so popular if GDL wasn't so attractive

Also true, I feel. I, personally, fell in love with the character around Cyberwoman and only then did I really kind of notice that GDL was sort of hot. I suppose that fact had been running around my brain up until that moment without me really registering it. But I definitely fell in love with the character.

It took me the longest time to realize GDL's hotness too, somehow. Now I of course think he's a total babe, but I distinctly remember that when we first saw Ianto in the first episode I immediately thought, "ack, him? It's too bad he's not very attractive." And of course he spent most of Cyberwoman making entirely unattractive weepy faces so that didn't help his case. I don't even know when I started to pick up on his hotness, but now I'm convinced that my heterosexuality must just have been on lunch break every time Ianto was onscreen the first few episodes. Strangeness.

I think his hotness is directly related to the quirkiness of his character (and a good deal of that quirkiness is thanks to GDL's sly talent). That's why so many fans zoomed in on him after Cyberwoman (as unattractive as he looked sobbing constantly). Plus, that episode gave him so many interesting parallels with Jack; hello, Janto! And that's part of the character's appeal as well: he's perfect boyfriend material.
