Random Torchwood shizzle, yo...

  The question attached to the picture: Do they just keep those cyberschematics hanging around the autopsy bay to annoy Ianto? Do they point at them and go "LOL!" every once in a while?



• Darryn says his ideal Season Three of Torchwood would get rid of everyone except Tosh and bring in Martha's sister and a character from Season One, in other words, and I quote: "Tish, Tosh, Denby-Ashe and a strapon."



• What I've read now about episode 11 and the rest of the season... meh. Whatever. I give up.

That was it, really. I don't know why I even bothered.

Umm, I think it was from the forums at TWOP. Basically, this rumoured Jack/Ianto in ep 11 is NOT a bedscene, but a quickie knee-trembler in the Hub. Which is exactly what I was afraid it would be and baffles me because I thought they were building up to giving the relationship some substance.

Oh, and it transpires Andy was in love with Gwen. Because EVERYONE'S in love with Gwen, obviously.

Except Ianto. Who's in love with Jack. I bet they don't even allow him the dignity of being the one to end it. FAIL.

why does a bed-scene have more substance....

....to you? Not getting your beef really.
A world-saving prime-time action hero is officially having it off with his sidekick. I don't care where that is - bed, desk, whatever.....it's all good (to me),

max.

(And saying RTD has a responsibility to show only healthy, wonderful gay relationships (with any complexity or fucked-upness smoothed out) is like saying black writers are only allowed to write black characters who are "role models". That's tokenism in my book.)

Tosh got a scene in bed with Tommy

That wasn't a long-term thing.

No, but it was sweet. Romantic, even? If Tosh had hoiked her skirt up, pushed her knickers to one side and spread her legs on the autopsy table as a token of her feelings for the boy, I'd have interpreted her feelings rather differently. I'd have thought her interest was PURELY CARNAL. Which is and has been for the past few weeks, exactly MY FUCKING POINT.

I'm not BEING SHOWN anything to tell me this relationship is anything other than PURELY CARNAL, while I AM being shown that IANTO IS OBVIOUSLY IN LOVE WITH JACK. The idea of that makes me uncomfortable, and if you've ever been in a relationship or known anyone in a relationship where they want love but they'll settle for sex, you'll know why.

I never said RTD had any such obligation, in fact I've stated several times he has no such obligation at all.

What I've been waiting for is tangible proof that there was more to this relationship than a boss fucking his infatuated, hero-worshipping subordinate over a desk. Because I think it makes said boss look like a bit of a manipulative, abusive arsehole. Bed scene, date, dinner, conversation, anything. Apparently that's not going to happen.
