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.

Between holding up a wedding dress and catching a bouquet, there's obviously something going on. I can't figure out if we're supposed to think Ianto wants a commitment from Jack or if the writers are teasing the fans about wanting a commitment from Jack.

Yeah, between that and them standing at the end of the aisle in FOOTR, I'd be tempted to say the powers that be were trying to do something subtle and clever, but I have trouble giving them credit for that. I just find it hard to believe they could be behind something so subtle and clever whilst at the same time being behind such monumentally stupid things as RapeSpray, RapeSprayRedux and Gwen/Owen. What am I supposed to believe here???

I wish I could believe that the subtext is screaming 'They are a committed couple! They are in lurve! It's not all avant garde sexytiems!' but I have no faith. Especially since Ianto is apparently a clone of a past Jack lover.

Summary of Series 2 Jack/Ianto:

Ep 1: Jack attempts to resume sekrit sexytiems at work. Ianto declines. Jack asks for a date.

Ep 2: Jack and Ianto flirt. Growling ensues. Crickets chirping re: date.

Ep 3: Ianto seeks reassurance that Jack won't leave for better, omnisexytiems in parts unknown. Jack reassures Ianto that he loves them all and wouldn't change a thing. Ianto attempts to remove Jack's tonsils with his tongue. Sexytiems resume.

Ep 4: Ianto tries to pretend that Jack isn't going batshit insane over losing Gwen to Rhys.

Ep 5: Ianto confesses to Jack that he has found new meaning through work...and Jack. Few remain in doubt that Ianto loves his Jack not just for sexytiems but for all times. Jack mimics the sound of crickets chirping but kisses his beloved disciple in whom he is well pleased on his forehead.

Ep 6 - 13: Non-sekrit sexytiems happen primarily off camera, presumably at work, but with a running commentary from the team. Ianto continues to insist it's not just sexytiems while catching bouquets and modeling bridal gowns. Jack mimics the sound of crickets chirping.

I freely admit that I'm assuming facts not fully in evidence about episodes 11-13. Indulge me, though. How is this relationship 'slow burn' for the series? Isn't the same relationship they had last series except now the team knows about it? Or am I crazy?

I always assumed the date took place between 1 and 2. But then, on the other hand, they're making us ASSUME an awful lot, which is my major gripe. It does seem to have degenerated back into sexytaims at work, which is what it was last season. If there's more to it, why make it ALL subtext, can't they at least give us one bloody line?

When was this bouquet-catching that I missed?

[rowanswhimsy.livejournal.com]

I saw a little clip of Ianto sniffing the wedding bouquet somewhere. It didn't appear to be a manip. I wasn't really sure if that was in SB and I missed it??? Or was there something in OOTR that I missed?

[off_coloratura]

I didn't see it in either of those. At all.

He's happily got his nose buried in it at the beginning of this week's mission video on the site. Then he hastily puts it away.

*melts*

God damn you, Ianto Jones.

[tencrush]

And then he does that "Grrrr, you guys, I didn't see you there, can't you knock" face he seems to have developed especially for the mission videos.
*eats him up*

I found it! Apparently it was flower-sniffing (was this Gwen's bouquet?) and it was one of the Torchwood missions the BBC website.
