W00t!!

I kind of like this picture:



(I stole it from [livejournal.com profile] lucy_locket) I mostly like how you can see Barrowman's going to look like Walter Matthau in his old age. Except he won't, of course, because he'll have work done. And more than anything, I like how, for a change, there's a promo pic that doesn't look like, well, this:



Yeah, okay, that's fuck awful photoshoppery on my part, but I really dug the guy's hair and wanted to keep it. You get the gist, the promotion's all been a bit "Hey, chicks like Torchwood. And chicks eat up this sort of shit, don't they?" up to now. So yeah, this is better. And the spoilers are actually making me a wee bit excited, yes?

TELL US WHEN IT IS ON, YOU WANKERS.

wait, Ianto's the woman in the relationship? how could I have had it so wrong for so long?

[identity profile] urnssadomen.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Agree.

Btw, I really like the Gwen in this promo.

Scary thing is, the one promo shot is an almost identical pose to the manip.

I, too, greatly approve of this promo shot. Equal-opportunity groping minus the shmoop = win for all!

I dunno -- I'm not quite convinced by the Thomas Kinkaid-ey glow of the whole thing. And the proportions of the people look all wrong. Captain Jack seems to have a case of samosa-nose. But I do like Ianto's tragic pose! He at least looks dignified.

Hey, Ianto is wearing the same purple shirt and waistcoat combo that caused your second pregnancy!

[identity profile] santousha.livejournal.com 2009-06-13 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, I missed your manips so much!
I approve, muchly.

so... is jack a pirate in that one?
always knew ianto would have nice legs

[identity profile] satanassa.livejournal.com 2009-06-14 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
And he looks so pretty in pink!

SUB IANTO SUB IANTO SUB IANTO SUB IANTO

uhhhhh

did I say that out loud

[identity profile] wiley-nilly.livejournal.com 2009-06-14 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you're seeing the story here, right? Note:

1. Ianto is holding onto Jack, but Jack is holding onto Gwen.

2. Jack and Gwen are looking ahead, to an unseen future. Ianto is looking at the ground, signifying he has nothing to look forward to.

Ergo, therefore, hence: You're right. Ianto is gonna die.

Just sayin'

I'm afraid I'm with you on this. I prefer the new positioning to the manip's(lol!) inspiration, but they seem to be saying the same thing. *mopes*

The spoilers for E01 have me excited for S03 in spite of all that. :D

These promo pics aren't doing anything to ease my fears surrounding the Ianto death rumour, neither is the focus on his feelings for Jack.

Still, I'm really excited about COE now and it sounds like the show has finally come into its own.

"TELL US WHEN IT IS ON, YOU WANKERS."

hell yes.

That's probably the best pic they've managed so far - very nice. ISTR that it's going to be week beginning 20th July but I have no idea why I think that now so it could be all bullshit. I hope it is though because that's the start of my summer holiday so I will be free to write fic all week :)

I totally missed on the manip it was J/I. I was reading, and then I was like wait did I just see what I thought I saw?

Yes I did and it made me giggle this morning :D

WTF is up with Gwen's arm? The one that Jack's holding onto?

Another rumor

[identity profile] aviv-b.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Heard at Torchsong - GDL made a comment about Owen implying that he might be back. (Actually makes sense since Freema backed out to do another series).

Anyone else here anything about this?

Re: Another rumor

[identity profile] dr-is-in.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait! What? Oh, if he's back, I will so have to be mad at Burn for misdirecting us in London.

Also, if you watch the extras on the DVD - Burn talks about his character being killed off and says that while you know Tosh is dead; without a body, how can you know that Owen is dead. And I quote "He could survive and become the king of the Weevils."

Probably just wishful thinking on my part, but I really liked the edge he added to the character interactions.

Awesome manip! Sadly, I think I own that book. ;-)

Ianto looks like he's hobbit-sized in this photo. His right arm is creeping me out, too...
