Torchwood 211

[katikat]

After finding out, that my copy of ep 210 had a serious glitch, I went directly to ep 211. And it was sad and depressing but very well done too. I mean, I think that Gwen really needed this lesson. She needed to realize that they couldn't help everybody, that she shouldn't put her job over her "real life" as Rhys put it, that sometimes people really didn't want what they thought they wanted - like the boy's mother - and that there were some things that she just wasn't entitled to know. I mean, she got so used to being an equal part of the team that I think that she forgot that Jack was her boss and she still had to take orders from him.

Though I must admit that her "I know best" attitude got on my nerves in this ep. I loved it when Jack told her that fine, they would do something to help those people - if she told him, practically, what they should do, if she gave him a practical solution, not just ravings about the unfairness of the whole situation. And there she just couldn't.

But the scene with the mum, when she told Gwen to promise her not to do it to anybody else - Gwen's crestfallen look just broke my heart :(

And as usually - Rhys is fantastic! Can I have a Rhys of my own?

I'm hoping we get to see much more of Rhys in upcoming seasons. He's such a fun character. I ship Rhys/Gwen pretty hard. ^___^

Was it renewed beyond Children of Earth?

Not as far as I know, but I'm hopeful. It's very popular here in the US.

Btw, do you watch True Blood? I just watched all of season 1 and the first two episodes of season 2 over the last few days. I'm so hooked!

Nope, I don't. I watched the pilot and when the whole thing began with a girl giving a blowjob to her boyfriend driving a car and a vampire banging some chick on a tape that one of the main characters watched while getting a blowjob... Ick! It's porn just with fangs and that's kinda not my thing.

I joked to Jay that I feel like I'm watching soft core porn sometimes, but I like all the other parts of the series. There's a sexy Viking vampire named Eric that has captured my attention. I'd watch just for him.

What made me start watching was something I read about the show's main male slut possibly having a homoerotic storyline this season. I guess he's going to run out of ladies to sleep with. *snerk*

The gay storyline really is intriguing and that kinda peaked my interest but I have so many shows to watch that I don't want to add new ones. I just wouldn't be able to follow all of them. As you can see, I'm still on S2 of TW!
