I have a confession... I fell asleep and missed the start of this ep eek.gif

I do have thoughts and comments on what I did get to see though. But don't have time to post them right now sad.gif
Berengaria
I loved it. After the very good but intense last episodes it was nice to have something wacky & fun...if a bit scary as well. nod.gif
Spook
OK, I re-watched this last night.

Some funny moments. I know this was a comedy episode, but some were better than others for me.

Completely out of order:

I loved it when Ianto cut in on the dancing and Gwen thought he was asking her to dance, but he was aiming for Jack lol.gif

Rhys going after the alien with a chainsaw, and the saw dying on him lol.gif

Rhys and Gwen's parents were a bit too OTT, but I still found myself laughing at the sniping between the two mothers.

Are we going to get a subtle reminder, every episode, that Owen is now dead? rolleyes.gif Although the not so subtle banter between Jack and Ianto when Ianto sticks up for Owen, stating he never speaks ill of the dead was good lol.gif

Speaking of Jack and Ianto - I love the throwaway lines that bring their relationship slamming into you. No hiding from homosexuality in this show smile.gif. Jack telling Gwen he'll do the 'usual' - and including Ianto in the list lol.gif

How do they get around the fact that Gwen and Rhy's families won't remember the wedding? Or do they implant false memories? confused.gif

Ianto telling Jack so matter-of-factly that the situation is not contained lol.gif

At first I thought the bridesmaids must be so thick to not realise something was up when Gwen suddenly appeared heavily pregnant, after not being so the night before. But the I thought more realistically - how would you deal with something like that? You would assume you were rat-faced and didn't notice the bump. People just don't get that pregnant that quickly!

I thought Rhys was out of order telling Jack to stay away from the wedding. What has he got against Jack? As far as I remember, he doesn't know that Gwen has feelings for him? And it's Gwen that lied to him, not Jack etc. So why does Jack get the flack? Or is it because Jack is the boss, and so obviously is to blame - because the blame Gwen would be the end of their relationship?

Gwen is still so two-faced. She obviously loves Rhys - loves him a lot. But how can she stand there and say he's the only one for her, when just seconds before she's been making eyes at Jack??? Although I don't envy her situation - loving two men at the same time. (Not that I really but Jack and Gwen. I just don't see it).

And we know Jack was married once. More little snippets into his past life...

I know there's a lot more. But memory fails me...

wave.gif Hallooooo Torchies smile.gif Fingers limber? Keyboards ready? wink.gif

I guess I have the board all to myself. bawl.gif

Tek to self... If I ever buy a fuzzy cowboy hat like those women have, shoot me.
Berengaria
I'm here. nod.gif

with her its pickles....with me it was salt and vinegar chips.
Tekgirl
eek.gif eek.gif eek.gif

And wave.gif Berry & Vin

Jack, "Y'think?" rotfl.gif
Vinity
Hey B wave.gif I'm here for a little at least. I just got in from a horsie gig and I'm really tired, plus, I let Divinity into the clover field and it's starting to get windy so I might have to bail to go out her up.

Anyway, this is a funny one grin.gif
Berengaria
Bless Ianto...he always gets the hard assignments! lol.gif


Rhys seems to be taking it as well as could be expected.
Vinity
I really want to beleive Gwen really loves Rhys, he really is a nice guy.

I'm really tired of the "deadman" jokes.
Berengaria
Can't wait to see the look on Rhy's mother's face!


Do I detect a hint of tension between the future in-laws? skep.gif
Vinity
Can you imagine how much it would hurt to be that big that fast? Your stomach muscles and skin can't do that sad.gif

You know what I keep thinking? 4 MORE EPS TO CAPTAIN JOHN hurray.gif grin.gif
Tekgirl
ITA... I was also wondering how the writers are going to the resolve the "Owen is dead" story arc... Will Capt. Jack find the other gauntlet and we'll find out that it restores life - totally - or something like that?
Vinity
I love the families sniping at each other.
Tekgirl
Only 4 more eps until Capt. John? grin.gif Whoo Hoo... Then Torchwood is off the air for a year? Or will another season start sooner?

Ditto about the instant belly sitch....
Berengaria
We don't know if there will be a 3rd season (although it seems very likely) and we sure don't know when it will air.

Vinity
!3 eps is a really big deal for a BBC show, lots are less than eight.
Tekgirl
"Do you feel like a bite?" ....that sounds kind of ominous....

Oh...S3 is up in the air? I figured that since we're watching the show and since we want more of Capt. John, S3 would be a slam dunk. ...Silly me. ..blush.gif

I know shows like Kyle XY and other cable shows have shorter than "normal" seasons... but things have certainly changed all over the broadcast landscape. I remember years ago when a season was 32 eps.... (back in the stone age). And now, with the writer's strike, the number of eps is all over the place. I have no idea how many eps constitute a "season" any more
Berengaria
It's not up in the air...the BBC just plays everything very close to the vest. There are rumors flying about changes being made for the next season. But I don't want to spoil anybody...so wait and see. grin.gif



Ah, I love how much Rhys loves Gwen.
Vinity
Awww Gwen looks pretty.

The families are so funny.

The creature eating the guy was pretty EEK

You go Rhys!

B~ Kenn said something about the changes. PM me about them. I haven't heard?
Tekgirl
Berry, I can wait to find out - especially knowing that I''ll be getting more Captain John. grin.gif

I really do want to know about "Moonlight" though... Will there be an S2?

Is everyone as tired tonight as I am?

look.gif And where is Cat?

BTW... wave.gif Spook

Was it me or did the thingys that were holding Gwen and that guy tied to the bedpost remind anyone else of black plastic trash bags? Gotta love the vast budget that the BBC has for productions...
Vinity

Oh yeah lol.gif

I just wish Gwen really means all that she said to Jack sad.gif
Tekgirl
Whoa - these guys really, really like to use their guns... I'm surprised no one got hurt in that crowd.

Poor Gwen..... hug.gif for Gwen.
Berengaria
Does anyone else find Gwen I Leetle bit stubborn? It's fine to love Rhys, it's fine to marry Rhys....but it couldn't be tomorrow??!!
Tekgirl
eek.gif I didn't know the Lone Ranger had a "thing" with Tonto.

I just want Gwen and Tosh be be happy. They deserve it.

OK... I like Tosh more than Gwen. I changed my mind - Tosh deserves the hug.gif And yes, Berry, Gwen can most def be stubborn.
Vinity
I knew that was creature Jack, but Barrowman did a good job.
Tekgirl
John B with black teeth looks like one of those "gentlemen" guys in the Buffy "Hush" ep. ...and he definitely looks bad with buck teeth.

"I guess we're going to need a bigger gun." Men and their big toys... wink.gif
Vinity
Critter go BOOM! lol.gif

mad.gif I can't beleive Gwen jumped into Jacks Arms with Rhys standing RIGHT THERE! sad.gif
Berengaria
I know...when Gwen says "Do you still want to marry me, Rhys?" I'm yellin' think it over,Rhys...take a minute there.

Hmmmm on the dancing duo - I'm surprised no one batted an eyelash ...... btw - great song, Tainted Love by Soft Cell... aw it's over...
Berengaria
Ah, Jack has been married before..... Memories! Like the colors of my mind...misty water-colored memories....




I liked this episode. nod.gif
Tekgirl
It was a good ep. I especially liked the humor and the Jack/Gwen scenes.

Vinity
Hey lol.gif little late. I had to go potty then bring in the Vinsters lol.gif

I loved the Ianto cut in for Jack not Gwen lol.gif

I liked this ep.

OMGoodness I see the UK got 2.12 on friday eek.gif next week is Captain John there lol.gif grin.gif hurray.gif How exciting
Tekgirl
Vin, I'm really curious to find out if the last ep with JM is half as good as the first ep. I don't know how the writers can top Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Berry, Vin, will you drop a quick post about the ep - if it's thumbsup.gif or not?....
Vinity
I just watched 2.12 and it's almost as good as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and as it's the lead in to the last ep with Marsters it's looking DAMN GOOD!!
Tekgirl
whitey.gif That's great news, Vin. But, James isn't in 2:12, right? The last ep of the season is 2:13? You said you have a link to the Brit downloads of the eps? I may have to watch 2:13 before it airs in the US. wink.gif

The answer to the first question would be telling look.gif... wink.gif
The answer to the second question is Yes... sad.gif

But Doctor Who starts on Saturday, so where Torchwood ends, Doctor Who starts! grin.gif lol.gif
Vinity
I'm really liking that grin.gif 24 hours of Whoverse grin.gif
Jazz
I loved the episode. I like Gwen, I know some people don't but I do enjoy her. I like the whole "angst" between Gwen and Jack. Almost like, wanting to be together but cannot be together sort of thing.

I LOVED when Gwen jumped into Jack's arms. But you know, it really shows the close friendship between Eve and John in that moment. The dance was rather intense, I'm surprised that Rhys didn't notice how intense it was. I mean, Ianto was clearing his throat and the were still staring at each other for the longest time before they broke apart!

But man, loved Jack and that big gun. Yummy. smile.gif
Tekgirl
OK Vin & Bery, I guess I can be patient and wait to see 2:12. It's funny - the only show I like to be spoiled about his DWTS. I want to know who gets voted off. Other than that, I like to be surprised.
