Children of Earth: Episode 3

[amand_r]

FIRST, BEFORE I FORGET: SHITBEARS!

So, the first 3 minutes of this episode was like…every fanfic evar in which nothing happens, but we get to see them for an hour. Like when my buddies some over to visit for an hour to discuss something important, but we end up drinking beer and playing Call of Duty. Score.


1. Are they using the same woman as the American news anchor that they did in The Sound of Drums and The Stolen Earth? If they are, that's cool. Mini continuity!
2. Oh Ianto, "The Old team," LOLOR5.
3. Also, GO TEAM GHETTO CARDIFF, WITH THE THUMBS UP SIGNS AND THE DAY CARE! TEN QUID A KID FTW.
4. OH ALICE, HOW YOUR SPY FU FAILED.
5. CANON: THE TEAM LOVES COFFEE. LOVES COFFEE. Re: THE REASSURED SMILES.
6. [obligatory coatgasm]
7. Nice half-dressed naked chick desktop pic. I like to think that they changed it to that on purpose, but it was probably there before they jacked it.
8. Jack: I felt it.
Ianto: Shit.
Jack: Yeah.
9. JACK'S FACE WHEN HE PUTS IT TOGETHER. OH HOW I ♥ THAT FACE. OH JACK—WHY DO YOU RUN OUT.
10. Lois! Win! With your lying innuendo!
11. The scene with Gwen and Clem in the police station broke my black little heart.
12. PSA: FIRE FROM THE SKY=NOT SO GOOD.
13. So, let's talk about the aliens and their penchant for vomit. And flailing. And vomity flailing. Ew.
14. GOD, I WISH HARRIET JONES WAS PM.

~~I HAD TO STOP FOR COFFEE~~

15. "Who's the queer? I can smell it." Has fandom imploded yet?
16. IANTO MADE THE SMILEY. GWEN HATES SMILIES. GWEN. HATES. SMILIES. LOLOR5.
17. Okay, now I got no love for Spears (okay, maybe a little), but that elevator conversation that she has with Frobisher? How much do I think that if she had Frobisher's job, Jack would still be incapacitated somewhere?
18. GWEN—YOU CAN BE MY TYPO BUDDY.
19. AAAAAAND FINALLY. I knew it was coming. I was spoiled. Still, this is what happened when he said 'Walk into the light, kids': OMG JACK NO! YOU FUCKER. MUTHER EFFER. NO NO, SHITBEARS!

That is all I wrote.

You know, I don't get the whole freaking out over Jack and the kids thing. He already did something similar with Jasmine and the fairies, amirite?

All you wrote and still more coherant than me (much much more coherant than me in messenger lol)

OI! It's not 1965 anymore.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was prepared for it. I didn't freak out about it, and I probably wouldn't have, if they hadn't had him say that. Really. And we don't know what the alternative was. But that line, when they added it, was fakishy jocular (because he was trying to be reassuring, I am sure), and that really bothered me. I bet if they had cut it out, I wouldn't have felt hurt at all.

Also, I have a kid and an overactive imagination. It makes my heart clench just thinking about my girl, up there and frightened. Sappy, but true.

She's been in The Sarah Jane Adventures too. I think she's the only character who's been in all three shows.

14. GOD, I WISH HARRIET JONES WAS PM.

ME TOO. This is all the Doctor's fault.

LOLOR5. OH IANTO.

We came up with a short list of three actors who appeared in all three of Joss's tv shows once. It would be interesting to see the list of SJA/DW/TW triple crown actors.

I'm already trying to calculate the number of times a day I can shout that at people before I start to get "the look"

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OI! IT'S NOT 1965 ANYMORE.

Hrm. I'd say about four.

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

IT WAS THE CREEPY HEAD TWITCH AND THE WAY JACK SAID THAT LAST LINE! I knew it was coming, too (in a vague I-saw-that-one-picture way), but OMG THE WAY HE SAID IT! That's what sealed it as creepy and an awful cliffhanger for me.

I'd rather have the Master as PM. At least he was upfront about being awful. And, you know, insane.

Just so you know, I shouted "SHITBEARS" while playing Faerie Bubbles on Neopets today.

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

I think more, if I spread it out between different people. Or are you saying 4 times per person?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it reminds me of clips from films in which they usher kids in to danger with upbeat music or some such. I always feel like it take a special kind of person to fake that upbeat behavior knowing what is coming for the kids.

OTOH, maybe Jack didn't know. WE don't know either, actually. They could all still be alive and living in palaces by the seas on the shores of Cair Paravel.

I THOUGTH ABOUT HOW THE MASTER WOULD HANDLE THIS. ALSO, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME RTD HAS REFERENCED 10 % OF SOMETHING. The Master had the Toclafane kill 10%, too.

YES! IT'S FUN TO SAY SHITBEARS.

Man, Faerie bubbles used to eat so much of my fucking time. Thank god I got rid of the mouse on my computer. Between that and the one in Egyptland where you have to match up three of the same pictures in a row (what is that called), I lost like, three months of my life.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

PER PERSON. JUST DON'T COMBINE IT WITH 'SHITBEARS'-- YOU'LL BE SCREWED.

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

OI! IT'S NOT 1965 ANYMORE. SHITBEARS!

PS you made me want sour patch kids and now I can't find them. grrrr to you

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haaahaha, GET WITH THE TIMES! ::points up at picture::

[hanuueshe.livejournal.com]

Yeah I can get that. If it were my little sister, I would... actually have to think about it. She's ten. She thinks she's sixteen. 'Tis a trying time at our house.

That's probably a part of why I was able to laugh. Because aren't you supposed to tell people not to go into the light?

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

what the hell are you eating? puffy cheetos? ewww!!

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

The Master regenerated into the 456. He's puking everywhere cause he thinks it's funny.

Sutek's Tomb. I had to stop playing it because I'm pretty good at it. So I'd sit there and play one game for like two hours. And it's not like you'd get more than 1000 neopoints after you get so far, and I KNEW I wasn't good enough to get on the high score list. Pointless.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I dunno. It depends on what you want them to do. They were always telling them to go into the light in Poltergeist.

Oh, they can have my brother.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

CHEESE CURLS.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I WAS SO GOOD AT THAT UNTIL MY MOUSE BROKE. DON'T MAKE ME START. I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK BECAUSE I FEEL BAD FOR MY NEOPETS. I WAS SO BAD TO THEM.

LOL MASTER-->456. REGENERATION FAIL.

[celisnebula.livejournal.com]

I wasn't spoiled about the last bit, but then I only downloaded 1-3 tonight to watch. However, watching 1, I thought it could be him in the shadows because of the coat.

And, I really wish they had told Rhys, screw the beans we're gonna have an orgy.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LOL THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE, "GO OUT RIGHT NOW. IANTO, PUT YOUR TIE ON THE HANDLE TO THE WAREHOUSE DOOR."

[celisnebula.livejournal.com]

I don't think the tie would've kept Gwen out. She's a closet freak.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

SHITBEARS indeed

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LOL BUT SHE HATES SMILIES.
