5. The foley art is really swell.
6. ANDY! MY HEART BURNS FOR YOU, ANDY!
7. Let's talk about Gwen shooting out the left rear wheel from where she was standing (and possibly the right.)—NO.
8. JESUS IANTO. CLEAN THE BLOOD FROM YOUR FACE. THAT DOESN'T STICK OUT AT ALL.
9. Is everyone named Lois naturally inquisitive? Is that what the name means?
10. "That's what the front line is for, John. First to fall." OH SNAP.

~~I STOPPED FOR COFFEE~~

11. Spears on Harkness: "He always was an arrogant sod." WHERE'S THE FIC, PEOPLES!?
12. THIS IS THE TIME IN WHICH I GUSH ABOUT IANTO'S FAMILY: OMG YOUR NEPHEW AND HIS SPY WAYS. OFH YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW AND HIS DIVERSIONS!
13. WHAT THE FUCK NOT HAVING A MONEY STASH, GWEN. WTF?

19. OH IANTO. OH IANTO JONES. (also—shooting the gas tank? Jesus.)
20. Creepy Leo McGarry is creepy.

I had to cut my flist. If that included you, that was because you either never post, or you and I don't merge anymore fandomically. No hards!

Last night's squee can fucking top me. I am so in love. Real deal shit romantic love.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I wish my squee were harder. I feel LOVE LOVE FOR THE SHOW. Feeling down about other shit. But I liked it. I LOVED THAT SHIT HARD. IN THE FACE.

I FORGOT TO SAY "SHITBEARS"!

SHITBEARS!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

YES! I thought I was the only one who saw creepy Leo McGarry!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

SO CREEPY, WITH HIS LITTLE SMUG SMILE OF "THIS IS SO FASCINATING SINCE I DON'T HAVE KIDS."

[bethcarielle.livejournal.com]

14. JACK'S BODY. JACK'S BODY. I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT JACK'S FUCKINHG BODY AND NONE OF IT HAS TO DO WITH FUCKING. OH SHIT SCREAMING JACK, SORRY DUDE.

OMG I KNOW!

15. Let's talk about how Lois is the unwitting fifth Torchwood member.

TOTES!

I am apparently incapable of using LJ competently tonight.

20. Creepy Leo McGarry is creepy.

Fuck yes.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

YOU AND I ARE IN THE SAME PLACE. BRAIN TWINS AND SHIT.

[earthly-gnome.livejournal.com]

7. Yeah...even me and my remedial gun knowing knows that, and really...Fuck...

~~I stopped cause D was mocking me having my fandom back and how cute it was~~

12. The little kid was awsome. 'Probably being bugged...' so casual. So awesome!

14. Lotsa nakedness in this ep. I approve!!!!

15. Who is the fourth? Rys? or (God help us all) Andy?

17. The Motha-fuckin' \/\/ Winchester!!!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

7. I JUST. I WAS LIKE...OH! AND THEN LATER WHEN THE COVER FIRE WAS BEING LAID DOWN AND THEN WIN THE MILITARY BASE WHERE SHE SWITCHES STANCES LIKE FIVE SHOTS IN A ROW. GUN PEOPLE. WOT? WOT?

15. I think Rhys earned his Temporary Torchwood Tramp fucking Stamp.

17. THE WINCHESTER! IT'S NOT LOADED! BIG AL SAYS DOGS CAN'T LOOK UP!

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

HOW CAN THEY POSSIBLY TOP TONIGHT? HOW??!! One of my favorite things - at the end when Jack is handed the jacket and he just throws it over his arm - THAT'S RIGHT NAKED!JACK, UNLESS IT'S YOUR COAT DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO COVER UP!! Also - I totally stopped breathing as he was cliffed. Even did a choking breath thing just like him when I realized the room was starting to spin.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I liked nonchalant naked Jack. I also like how she stood up and was like, "so, what are we doing now? LIKE I WASN'T JUST BLOWN UP, IMPRISONED BURIED IN CEMENT AND TOSSED OFF A CLIFF." Just, "WHAT ARE WE DOING?"

[oncomingscone.livejournal.com]

I have very little to add so I'm going to leave you with the faint echo of SHITBEARS.

Although, I will just share with you that I am experiencing a continuous compulsion to grab JB's love handles. Just for the throttle.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I kind of want to grab them, too. THAT'S HOW YOU STAY ON THE JACKERCOASTER. NO NO, THE JACK RABBIT. NO NO, THE "TIME BANDIT."

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Ianto has to be tired of crawling out of wreckage. Really.

Practice makes perfect.

CLEAN THE BLOOD FROM YOUR FACE. THAT DOESN'T STICK OUT AT ALL.

Not to mention running in a suit, surreptitious glances over his shoulder, lurking in doorways.... He needs a little more stealth training from Jack. And "stealth training" doesn't mean just playing naked hide and seek.

"That's what the front line is for, John. First to fall."

Loved that. So is Frobisher going to turn on Green in self defense? It appears not. But why not?

Spears on Harkness: "He always was an arrogant sod." WHERE'S THE FIC, PEOPLES!?

Give 'em another five minutes. My theory? Spears is miffed because she propositioned Jack and he turned her down.

WHAT THE FUCK NOT HAVING A MONEY STASH, GWEN

She'll know better next time.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I think Frobisher is going down.

I think Spears and Jack had a thing in the seventies. IT WAS THE SEVENTIES. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIM IN HIS PLATFORM SHOES AND FIVE INCH LAPELS.

That line never gets old.

[rexluscus.livejournal.com]

I just thought you should know, I've been randomly saying "shitbears" all day.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

MY MASTER PLAN IS COMPLETE. OR BEARING FRUIT. SWEET SWEET FRUIT.

[lefaym.livejournal.com]

I am still melted on the floor in a pile of squee.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LOL.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

is that…the WINCHESTER?

was it?
b/c i was all "WHY DOES THAT LOOK FAMILIAR?!!!"

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I HAVE DECIDED THAT IT WAS, AND EVERYONE ELSE CAN BITE ME.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

LOL I am so glad to see mentioned Ianto's OMG WTH were you thinking, boy? moments.

But ahh well, very over-the-top episode, major gaffs I think (from Ianto's lack o'stealth and Gwen's checking account nonsense--EVERYONE knows that the first thing cops pounce on are the money machines! HELLO! Then, They saw them--where was the follow-up chase? They could get someone there in two seconds to go after them!

But, I'll toss that all aside for the sheer fun of it and I do love Ianto's BIL. LOL.

Lois. OMG you are right! And I guess Gwen has hiring privileges now? LOL.

The only thing about being in the amazing Cardiff is...time zones. Yeah, we get to watch it before you guys but dammit, we miss all the after fun as we are freaking ASLEEP!

[debitha.livejournal.com]

But she doesn't KNOW the cops are after them. The guy she shot in the face foot told her he was from the government, but she didn't really believe him (or she wouldn't have gone straight to Frobisher). And she had a plan for a stealthy getaway, so it had to be worth a shot to get cash.

Friday, I'm thinking UK-timezone comments-fest on someone's blog? (I can't do it during the rest of the week because of needing to sleep, but I am SO IN for Friday night.)

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

I have so much love for Ianto Jones right now. *That's* the way to break into a secret military base. Sod the sneaking around bit - go straight in there with a fuck-off forklift truck. But you have to love the way he still does Health & Safety with the hard-hat and the reflective jacket. That's my anally-retentive boy!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I like to think that he used the Hard hat and safety jacket to maintain his cover as long as he could until it became obvious that he wasn't a normal forklift operator.

[debitha.livejournal.com]

4) Nope. Fish tank.
7) Wasn't it the front? I thought it was the front.
8) Flatmate said this too. I figured he didn't notice he was bleeding. He was probably a little distracted.
10) WHAT A WANKER! WHO VOTED FOR THIS ARSEHOLE?
12)Ianto's entire family are made from awesomesauce. Except maybe his Dad. I'm reserving judgment on him.
14) FFS SOMEBODY GIVE THAT MAN A HUG ASAP!
15) If she doesn't get dead she's in. Ianto is needed in the field (with his awesome forklift driving, boyfriend rescuing ways).
19) I feel like that ought to be some kind of little theme song. Oh Ianto, oh Ianto Jones.
20) Overdone. He was already creepy.

Hmmm. I think your capslock is contagious.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I don't have an issue with Ianto's dad.

20. You think? I think he's just naturally creepy. Like Leo McGarry.

[pogrebin.livejournal.com]

DUDE, YES, THIS.

I CAN BARELY HANDLE HOW AWESOME EACH ONE OF THEM ARE.

I KEPT HAVING TO LIVE-PAUSE TO SAY 'I MOTHERFUCKING LOVE YOU [X CHARACTER]' AT THE SCREEN.

PS- Also, they took Jack's comments about roleplay in 'Dead Line' kind of seriously no? Gwen the Undertaker, Ianto the hardhatted forklift operator...

PPS- WHERE WAS THE YOU DIED HUG? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A NAKED HUG OF COMFORT WHAT WHAT!

[debitha.livejournal.com]

I have a theory about the "Sorry You Died" hugs. I think it was a one-off, like Ianto saying, "I'm sorry I screwed up earlier, I am trying though! Look! This is me trying!" Which is why Jack rolled his eyes.

Even so, he just got buried alive. AGAIN! Someone give that man a hug FFS!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Spears on Harkness: "He always was an arrogant sod." WHERE'S THE FIC, PEOPLES!?

Oh, man, I hadn't even gone there and NOW I'M ALL OVER IT.

Tell me they did it. At least once!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

IT'S FANON IN MY HEAD NAO.

[thaddeusfavour.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I loved it. I loved it HARD! It's just like watching American TV now, what with vehicles exploding like they were stuffed with C4. :P

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

INORITE. SRSLY, IT'S HARDER TO SHOOT OUT A GAS TANK THAN THAT.

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

sigh. keep the comments coming gang. it's my onliest link to the show right now ... so I'm livin' vicariously!!

sounds like it's a helluva ride!! (with hard hats??)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

ARE YOU SERIOUS? DAMMIT WOMAN! READ UR FLIST!

[annemjw.livejournal.com]

BEST PARTING SHOT: THE PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK HAS THE COAT. JACK TOTES HAS A COAT STASH, FANDOM CONFIRMED.

My bet is they go to TW2 for equipment, y/y? I so hope so.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I think Jack, unlike the other two, has a stash.

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

When Clem runs out of the bar—is that…the WINCHESTER?

OH HOLY CRAP. *runs to look*

Okay, Google-Fu says that the external shots for the Winchester were done at the Duke of Albany pub: http://www.fancyapint.com/pubs/pub2301.html

Clem runs out of the Hereford Arms pub in Newport: http://www.hereford-arms.theboozer.co.uk/

And now everybody hates me.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OMG YOU KILLED MY SQUEE. I HAD TO BURY IT IN THE BACK YARD WITH MY HAMSTERS!

No srs, that's good to know. I didn't rewind it or anything to check, but I never would have bothered to research. Once again, I sit on my ass and the internets does the work for me! Thanks, bodlon! MWAH.
