lonelybritThis evening me and the mates finally got around to watching the last two eps of Torchwood. Well, to be fair, me and A_ had already seen both, but we were prepared to make the noble sacrifice and rewatch to try and recreate the atmosphere for dear M_.
My favourite (non-spoilery) reaction from them was: 'Oh, he's gorgeous when he hasn't got his jacket on!' Yes, it only took them 12 eps, but both friends have now joined me in Ianto!love. *is proud*
A_, like me, likes her slash. M_ isn't bothered one way or another, but despises the film Ghost. However, they both agreed that of the two kisses in the last two eps, they far preferred the fleeting Jack/Ianto one. (In fact they were both in tears of laughter during the dance scene.) It seems that whilst A_ at least appreciated the prettiness of Jack/Jack (*melts at memory*), the swelling violins and the bright white shining over the pair were just too cheesy for my dear friends. Well, fair enough. Personally I still get dust in the eye whenever someone plays A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square... *sob*
They both cheered when Ianto shot Owen, but both were equally pleased that he survived for series two. A_ particularly liked the moment where Owen finally breaks down in front of Jack, though she complained that, again, the scene was ruined by too-loud, intrusive music.
M_ almost went through the roof when we heard the TARDIS. She is also slightly scared for the Earth considering Owen managed to almost end the world when he was left in charge for one night and, probably, has now got that responsibility again but for a slightly longer period.
Ianto got an actual round of applause. The world was ending. The Hub coming down around their ears. Yet he still remembers to pick up Jack's coat as they flee to the surface.
We all agreed the Billis is a creepy so-and-so, and are rooting for him to return as a semi-recurring nemesis in Series 2.
GWEN! A_ was rooting for Jack to shoot her, but we've endured the Mary-Sue of Fred and Gwen had our support by the end. Another point of unity was the view that Eve Myles is a great, great actress who pulled off Gwen's heartbroken scenes in a way that would have been poignant had it not been - yep, you guessed it - for the really annoyingly loud music.
M_ wishes Ianto to wear the waistcoat without the jacket more often. A_ wishes Jack to choose to leave the TARDIS and return toIanto Torchwood. We would also like a fic with the summary: 'Jack finally moves on and realises new love makes a great cup of coffe.'
Yes, we have deep deep discussions at these evenings of ours :)
In other news, I might just have to cave and buy OK! Magazine tomorrow. Though if I do, it will entirely not be for such a shallow reason as there's apparently a bunch of pics from Barrowman and Gill's civil ceremony including what appears to be an adorable shot of all three Torchwood lads grinning like loons together...
