Cooee COE Day Three -- Random LOLZ

[bluecastle]

unpacked out of the brainbox in no particular order

* continued love for random YouTube posters putting me out of my misery.

* Dear Uncle Rusty, Your loving overseas fandom is now made of insomniacs. I'm glad COE is doing so well in the ratings... but this five night in a row things is hard! I know that's generally a good thing in the land of Torchwood... but we're all going to be exhausted by Saturday. Send tea and chips plz. K? Thx.

* Having now had my say ... I am going to eat some peanut brittle ice cream (ice cream headaches be damned) and then try and get some sleep...

* personal canon vindicated. I KNEW Ianto knew shorthand. Bonus points if he learned it from Donna.

* coat thing was lovely fun... but how much more kickass if the random TW1 warehouse had been prestocked (by Ianto of course) as a safe house, complete with spare wardrobe. Did the army surplus shop down the corner actually carry Greatcoats complete with correct Group Captain insignia bars that they could happily do up in brown paper and string? But of course I am thinking too hard... and then we wouldn't have gotten to see them play "let's be the bad guys." But just have to wonder how anyone bought Jack as a waiter in his trackies. 

Also... all those "Ianto never calls Jack 'Sir' after season one people should pay attention. there's a time and a place people. Used wisely 'Sir' can generate maximum impact like woah.

* apparently 1965 = Jack combs his hair.

* what's up with Ianto and his extreme reactions to people who sniff things around him (viz. see: sub-etheric resonators...)? Actually, not sure why but I loved the Oi. If you consider that Clem never really aged MENTALLY (which makes his "he's just the same" freak out even more interesting), then you could see it as yelling at a small child who's just said something really inappropriate. Dunno. Odd. But the really awkward silence afterwards where no one knew what to say and just tried to ignore it. Now there's something to think about.

* Jack who is almost but not quite a rat bastard is a really interesting Jack. I mean really, what's 12 orphans when stacked up against protecting the whole world? Jack, especially I would imagine a 1965 Jack is for sure a profit v. loss kinda guy.

* So much love for Rhys who passes up the opportunity to take the convertible for a spin to finish heating up beans. You totally know that if little Teddy Williams (with a belated shout out from the Potato Marketing Board for the King Edward snark) survives, it's Rhys who will have a cot set up in the Harwood's Office and be spending his evenings making organic baby food and carrying the kid around in a snuggie while Gwen is off saving the world...

* Speaking of ...  PC Andy finally got to add Davi(d)son to his name. Answered the phone with what sounded like his full name. Last time I checked the credits he was still being billed simply as PC Andy. Did we (someone. who? ) get to name him? What's it say on the credits this go round? Canon vs. Fanon anyone?

* If Clem is still alive when this is all over (my money's on probably not) they need to set him up a support group with the old guy with the cool name from Ghost Machine and get him a nice room out at Flat Holm.

* This episode is further proof that Jack and Ianto have massive fail when it comes to talking about things. But their eye fuckery is made of win!

* speaking of eye fuckery... *snort* did they not learning anythin in DAY ONE. Stop jacking the alien tech for sexy tiem.

(I do want to read the voyeur contact fics. Has Ianto thought to call them Eye Spy yet?)

* so ... looking ahead to Day Four. Creepy Jack is Creepy. Vomity alien is vomity. Things are about to go to hell in a handbasket. It's always darkest right before you walk into the light...

Fortunately there are lots of field hockey players outside my office this week at a sports camp. I will borrow a hockey stick and all will be right with the world.

i loved ianto's face there - but am i the only one who thought he was thinking "you used these for sexgames? why didn't WE think of that?"

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

no, you're not alone. I thought something similar about Ianto's look during that little exchange.

haha o good
i want him to bring it up to jack (once they save the world and everyone is still ok dammit!)
"hey jack, you'll never guess what gwen's been doing with these"

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

YES! which occurs just after the following

Ianto (to Lois, holding out his hand for the contacts) "I'll take those."
Lois (looks confused)
Ianto (looking over Lois's shoulder at Gwen) "We need them for ... (looks back smiling at Jack) ... system diagnostics..."
Gwen (laughing) "Make me a copy of those tests, Ianto?"
Ianto: "These kinds of tests often require a lot of followup. (cocks eyebrow, turns to Jack) Are you ready for your debriefing, Sir?"
Jack: (stretching Ianto's name to three syllables, and slinging his arm over his shoulders ) "Ianto...do you really need to ask?"
