• THAT SPOILER, DUDES. I told you WEEKS ago that Gareth's a big fat liar and we'd see him in Who soon. Watch this space, it's fucking true, I tells ya.


• Oh, and you know there was an interview with Marsters a while back which was ostensibly about Whedon and the Spike movie and such, but he did let slip he already had Torchwood filming lined up in his diary for next year, right?


• Having said that, I think that rumour a while back about TW only being recommissioned for a five-episode stint might well be true. I think they're going for ANOTHER revamp, and they've SO got US dollars on the brain. Which is funny, yo because the dollar's so sucky right now. But all this would take place after the elections, so per definition the dollar would be less sucky, but still.


• Wow, the writer's strike and the absence of any new drama in the US did this show SO MANY FAVOURS, didn't it? Seriously. If you see US interest as a favourable development, that is.


• What I mean is, I think us Whovians seriously underestimate how many fans of the Buffyverse came into TW season two, for a lack of anything better to watch anyway, watched for the Spike and stayed for the slash. It's the most fortunate set of circumstances that could ever have befallen a British drama series and if you don't think BBC Wales are SCRAMBLING and tripping over their own feet right now to take advantage of that situation, you are VERY WRONG.


• I wish Torchwood was Welsher than it is. And seeing as they seemingly based Ianto's character almost ENTIRELY on internet fanon, I wish they'd run with what seems to be the unanimous internet opinion that Ianto speaks fluent Welsh. Damn them.

i honestly don't know if tosh had fewer lines in this series than Ianto- his were more spread out while she got almost everything in a single episode.

*sigh* Poor Tosh. I'm finding that it's hard to work her into a team vid, because there's so few shots of her, unless it's an episode specifically focused on Tosh like Geeks Bearing Gifts and To The Last Man. Ianto is somehow significant even when he appears for only a minute in an episode -- for instance, he only has two or three brief scenes in Small Worlds, but I keep watching those scenes over and over trying to puzzle out where his relationship with Jack is at that stage. Tosh is just doing background exposition unless the episode is focused on her.
