Lets just get this clear: If aliens exist, I will never condone eating their everlasting meat. No thank you. That's sick.
Okay, on to the episode. We got to see Rhys a little more this episode, I'm not that huge on Gwen or Rhys (seriously)...Gwen just pisses me off with her fucking Owen, whining about she's the only one with a partner (Jack&Ianto anybody??? It may not be conventional but it's something), gripping about Rhys and now dropping hints about her loving Jack.
HELL TO THE FUCK NO!
But anywho, my own personal key points.
THAT scene between Jack and Ianto, with Ianto just looking back at Jack, and his smile when Tosh said none of them were in relationships. Haha, my ass seriously fell on the floor from pausing a squeeing to much
</end>
I think I loved seeing sensitive Owen, I can now get over the whole date rape thing from last season (thank you Rusty)and see him as someone who is caring. I loved/hated the whole Tosh thing, reaching out to Owen. What is up with Rusty and unrequited love, I swear.
Ianto has just been kicking my ass over and over this season. Episode 1, he's keeping it cool (sorta), episode 2 he is snarky and LOVELY, episode 3 he NEEDS Jack (I know I need me some Jack), and now in episode 4 he was just kicking ASS like there is no tomorrow. I LOVE THIS MAN!!!
Now for the poor alien, I felt very sad for the thing. It was like a big (BIG) boneless baby. Very touching with Jack's connection to it as well as Owens remorse (not to mention him and Tosh - love that woman).
Then Gwen goes back to bitching about not giving Retcon to Rhys, while I loved him in this episode, we only complain when it's someone close to us, get the fuck over it! Rhys made me proud this episode, but Gwen was just trying TOOO hard to prove her love Rhys when you know the bitch is eye-fucking every other man in TW. Sorry, that's not fair, I just can't grow to like her character. I know she's supposed to be the voice of reason/compassion/blahblahblah...but that's not me, I don't dig. Because for such a compassionate person, she still went behind future!hubby's back and fucked Owen. Can't have your cake and eat it too, hoe. I love Eve Myles, but they've just written her character to be someone I can't stand. There are only a few moments I can really tolerate her (Her and Ianto, her and Jack - when not trying to foreshadow (hopefully) to nothing -, and her being sweet with hostages/alien!people) but sometimes she's too much.
I still don't understand how the new girl is gonna take charge when the boss is gone, out of all the people in TW, she has the least experience with aliens. Ianto or Tosh would've been better...but that's just my opinion.
Seriously, I bet CC broke into the TW script vault and edited CT's beautiful work to write that whole Jack holding Gwen against the wall thing. Seriously, that scene was bad. Bad acting, bad writing just bad bad bad. Not because I dislike Gwen, but because it just confused fans and it didn't feel like anyone could get into it..especially the actors
BTW, loved Jack & Rhys's secretary..if only the Doctor was there...
"Stop it!!!"
Oh Tennant you sexy Scotsman Oh Barrowman you sexy everything
