I need a new show to mock now that Torchwood doesn't suck that much anymore. ;____;

Torchwood 2x08 - A Day in the Death: Surprisingly well written and poignant. The score helped loads, it was quite beautiful. I mean, the plot still made no sense whatsoever, but I didn't care that much about that, really, not with little jewels like Martha and Owen interacting and Owen replacing Ianto as the coffee boy (lol) and the lovely tale of Maggie's on the rooftop alongside with the alien message that sounds suspiciously as a whale. But of course it isn't. Because it is Alien, you see, not at all like a whale. Nuh-uh.

So yes, I liked it and though I'm sad to see Martha go (for she is fantastic, yes), I'm just over all pleased with the serial. We do get to keep zombie!Owen, in the end, which is like. ;askdfjla;skj. So awesome. AND now I like Owen which I NEVER thought could be possible. I KNOW. I KNOW.

I knooooow, it's like, they swaped the show with an actually decent one while I wasn't watching! :O but yeah, I'm pleased as well. :)

I have the suspicion it was Martha's appearance that made the show Better. Because she makes everything she touches shiny, yes.

LOL OWEN IS A ZOMBIE. IT SHALL NEVER STOP BEING FUNNY XD

You traitor!

I'm so pissed with this show right now. What a way to waste Martha's presence with not one but TWO episodes centered on Owen, giving her less lines than freaking Ianto. NOT ON.

That was weird, yes, but hey, Reset was freaking MONUMENT to her shiny, (in fact, it could've been called Martha Is Awesome What Else Is New and it would've fitted perfectly) so I can deal, I guess.

Besides, Owen is a zombie. That shall never stop being loltastic.

yeah, I like zombie!Owen.

zombie!Owen is a thing of beauty. Just like your new icon, in fact.

yeah, zombie!Owen adds something refreshing to the team.

And the genius icon's by [livejournal.com profile] twistedlogic_, although she credits the person who did the original manip. Now that would be an interesting read...

I LOVE zombie!Owen. A little too much. It's like... he's got his edge back, and acts like a complete git and an overgrown teenager, but at the time he is all vulnerable and sympathetic and trying to connect with others and awww. Owen.

Also, I am excited about the role-reversal with Ianto - I want to see Owen handing Jack his (horrible) morning coffee with an unpleasant comment, moping when he gets left out of the cool missions, pointedly refusing to do the paperwork and patching them up after alien encounters with a scowl and a lot of I-told-you-sos. But mostly, I just want to see the return of badass field agent Ianto, ala Meat. For all he claimed to dislike dangerous situations in Countryside, he's all fierce and dangerous when they hurt his team AND HOW HOT DOES HE LOOK LIKE THAT WHOA. *fans self*

Yeah, he's all like agressive and bitchy but now he has a VALID REASON for it and it is good, yes. I. I can't believe I actually like him. ;____; IT IS THE END OF AN ERA.

I'm sooo looking forward for kickass!Ianto, and shall be forever disappointed if he turns out he was ALSO the coffeboy at Torchwood 1. Like, I've always excused his blandness in S1 with this idea in my mind that he was sort of Torchwood's SUPERSPY or something and then he just said 'sod it' and started bringing people coffee out of his own volition. Yeah. My brain is weird.

And coffee boy!Owen will be EVEN MORE HILARIOUS. HEE.
