Oh the trials of being a fangirl

lonelybritSo, whilst the ep of Meat may not have been all that compared to some of the previous eps, I will say that it has generated the most fantastic meta on the FL. It's been a while since I've literally wallowed in long, detailed character discussions/dissections with different interpretations of every scene on every post and every LJ. Brilliant stuff, keep it coming :)
I would be attempting to add to it but for the small difficulty of being unable to *cough*obtain*cough* the ep until Monday, so I'm working purely on memory. I do have 3/4 of a ficlet suddenly sitting in front of me which I think is mainly the result of too much Bucks Fizz as opposed to any real thought. Still, it's progress of a kind. The other small difficulty is that whenever I do try to remember the ep, I keep getting hung up on the tiddly trifling reaction of 'Dear god but Ianto was looking unbelievably hot' whenever a scene replays in my head. How is an honest fangirl meant to try and produce something vaguely resembling profound meta when she's being swamped by the gratuitous pretty?
Though, to be honest, I feel let down and am baffled by the lack of gratuitous picspams. FL you fail. We had the shirts. We had the long coat. People, WE HAD THE WAISTCOAT. *hands* I mean what more can this show do to pimp this poor lad out, bar the obvious of course...
ETA: Huh. Just utterly failed at trying to while away some time by completing this week's TW mission, in that it took like 10 seconds as opposed to usual hour or so (I am useless at these things, so trust me, if I find it easy, it's piss.) That said, utterly worth it to hear Ianto getting to say the immortal phrase 'Trust no-one.'
