I AM DRUNK POSTING
Jul. 11th, 2009 06:23 pmThis is because I drank a lot of alcohol while watching Torchwood episode 5.
HOWEVER I still know not to spoil! in case you were wondering.
You know, I love Torchwood. But I know it's not perfect. I regularly mock John Barrowman's acting skillz and I recognise the inconsistent quality of the episodes.
But I say *dun dun* anyone who's ever rejected Torchwood should watch this series. I don't think they put a foot wrong. The plot was epic, the writing was awesome and didn't pull any punches, and it was just fucking brilliant television.
Yes I am biased. Yes I am invested. Yes I am drunk. Yes I have to keep correcting typos.
Hee! Dragonfly and Bunny came home and Dragonfly sent Bunny off to the bath so we could watch episode 5. Luckily our child is understanding about these things (sometimes)...
John Frobisher OMFUCKINGGOD. Those tears I didn't shed for Ianto because I was in denial???? How did they even do that??? Make us care for some middleman. Yeah, I pretty much didn't stop crying after that. Bunny kept asking (from the bathroom) what was wrong and assuring us we didn't HAVE to watch it.
THAT SCENE WITH RHYS AND GWEN AND THE CHILDREN AND STEVEN AND ALICE AND JACK. FUUUUUUUUUCKKK.
And military chick protecting the State whose name I don't know (Dfly and I were really hoping we'd never find out whether *she* had children, and we didn't *loves on writers*), and Bridget (Frobisher's PA) being so freakin' awesome at the end and that woman cabinet person who for a second at the end you thought she was showing that she had some DECENCY but was just GRABBING POWER. FUCKING AWESOME.
Dragonfly is having to get the lasagne out of the oven because I am not compus..menti? um what's that Latin word for DRUNK OFF MY FACE.

Poor everyone. I cried so much the last few days, it's ridiculous. It's only a fucking tv show for fuck's sake and I could stop crying.

I absolutely cannot fault them for a brilliant story...

It was totally gripping. It was fantastic writing. I'm still crying.
I found the military chick a bit too 2 dimensional in the second ep, but they even rounded out her character.
Yes,it is awesome. How often am I going to watch it? Not very often.
