Children of Earth: Episode 4

[amand_r]

FIRST, BEFORE I FORGET: SHITBEARS!

I was spoiled like a whore on her wedding night. So forgive that I entered this ep viewing like one on their way to the slaughterhouse.

1. Jesus, Jack. "Uncle Jack"? Jesus
2. You know, is it telling that the 456 apparently still upheld their part of the bargain when they only got 12 kids? I mean, really? Can they count?
3. Jack revives and grabs on to Ianto. Yeah look, I was desperate at this point.
4. THREATENING ALICE IS THREATENING.
5. I'll admit that at this point I was so fucking distracted, that I was listening to it while I was in another window, chatting in GCHAT. With lawsontl and lionessblack. Sorry. I just couldn't get there.
6. Aaaaand then the cameraman zooms in on the kid, and I had to go outside for some air.

~~beer one done~~

7. Ew. Oh Jack, rationalizing away the "sacrifice".
8. Ianto: I've barely scratched the surface, haven't I?
Jack: Ianto, that's all there is.
Ianto: No, that's all you pretend there is.
9. Sometimes I rather love Bridget Spears
10. JESUS. UNITS. UNITS. UNITS. JESUS.
11. There's a lot to despise about Frobisher, but really, right now I rather feel sorry for him.
12. "How could we sell it to the voters." THE VOTERS. GOD, I HATE POLITICIANS.
13. THEY PICK THE FAILING SCHOOLS. CDKOWROIKHNfvrw'b'Ldj cads;Lxcz,knzcbdsklvjdbavk;dsbv;kdsn v;dskjavbdfs;kavjbsa;vkdfsjbv;fskjbfad;kvjbdwnv;kjlanhf;dslbvjdsn;vkljdbs ;vskjlnI HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY SO MUCH TO FUCKING SAY.
14. GO LOIS HABIBA. GO MY DREDLOCKED BEAUTY.

~~on to beer three~~

15. OH. OH IANTO, BABY, NO. NO NO.
16. Oh, Clem.
17. WRECKED. WRECKED WRECKED.
18. Oh Gwen, my compassionata with your secret smile. Oh.

Fandom, we will get through this. If this is the end of the wseries, we will get through this.

And now, I'm going upstairs to wake my kid up and rock in the chair for a while.

AMANDA, I--

GAH. *points to her own post*

But, like, yeah-- I don't want fandom to end either. And it won't, it won't. We will have fix-it-fic and fill-in-the-gaps (there's a bloody whopping one between Exit Wounds and Children of Earth) and we'll have time-travel rescues and rebuilding and Jack's immortality fic and all of that.

I've had more time than you to deal. (I'm still really freaked and weird and-- gah, seriously, I don't think a character death has ever, ever hit me so hard.) But that's just made me even more sure that TW fandom has to stick around, ok?

*HUGS*

(Fuck, though, wasn't he incredible in the episode? He's bloody fantastic, our Mr. Jones.)

I love IANTO JONES.

I LOVE YOU.

(God, argh. I rewatched it. Because I'm a masochistic idiot. And I fucking love him. He's beautiful. "You are not getting one single, solitary child", god.)
