Torchwood 1x13

Could they put any more into that 40 minutes? I don't know whether to laugh or cry, though I think I was crying with laughter in a few places.

Jack/Ianto kiss. Can't believe how canon that is now. Seriously no strange stopwatch remarks this episode!
Samurai warrior in a Tokyo train station (on the scrolling news banner! Bwah!)
That big cross between a devil and Godzilla.
Jack's melodramatic fourth crack at death (counting the two this episode - yes I was counting)
The Snow White kiss thing that brings him back!
Gwen's beau getting killed and brought back and the whole screaming at Jack...

*gives up making sense*
To laugh or cry or just cry with laughter and yet, how freaking cool was that?

And the Tardis came! Whee! Really need to watch the episodes of Dr Who with Captain Jack in them!

*stares in amazement once more*

Freaking cool indeed! After some hit and miss eps this season, I just loved the latest two. It was timely "lightness" for me too given the past few days. They really know their fans and know which buttons to push, scenes and kisses to give ;) I enjoyed Ep 12 more for some reason -- maybe it was to see some teeny backstory, all the Jack on Jack moments (hee for gay!), the WWII setting (I've a weakness for historical war romances), Ianto developing a spine in his face-off with Owen, or just a slightly more believable plot - as far as wacky TW plots go - compared to the Ep 13 rift, which I never really got back in Doctor Who. Though the ending with the Tardis? Priceless.

On that note, as a Heroes fan, didn't you also feel some strange deja vu what with the samurai warrior, Tosh speaking about destiny to her mom in Japanese, and the scary monster at the end?

PS - You're one of the few on my flist who posts about Torchwood. Yay you!

With TW, I have this bad habit of yelling "NO WAY" and giggling hysterically, which is totally the show's charm. I personally loved ep13, just for the non-stop action, but 12 was very cool! Can't believe how angry and strange they are making Owen and tehn he cried... Bwah! Poor baby!

Re the heroes: Hadn't really thought about it, but now you mention it, maybe the writers follow that series too! :)

Yay for me indeed. *takes a bow* :)
