Dude, Owen is NASTY. He's exactly that kind of nasty that could be sexy-nasty once you are in a few life-threatening situations together. Damn. When he had Gwen up against that tree in the forest, I could not BELIEVE what I was hearing!
Continue to love Ianto with all of my heart. Tosh seemed pretty confident in their ability to escape, throughout her whole capture- perhaps Jack's assumption that they could take care of themselves wasn't inappropriate after all.
I also caught up with the second episode of Torchwood, Gwen's first day episode. I was out of town when it first aired and finally was able to watch it yesterday. I'm glad I did- it set up a lot of stuff for the series. Also? More Owen being NASTY.
I'm sad for Gwen and Rhys. But it's almost like you can't have normality in this job. Too much fucked up shit going on.
Question (as I always have something that puzzles me): the kid who shot Gwen? he was a villager as well, correct? Was he relegated to "meat" status because he didn't want to do the cannablism thing anymore? I was making mac & cheese during the last act, so I only caught bits, but it was the entire village that was in on the plan, right? And it was to kill travellers/outsiders, right?
Choice quote from Tom while I was in the kitchen: "Honey, Jack just burst in and kneecapped the FUCK out of everyone!"
(I was making a roux, couldn't leave to watch, sadly)
Um, yeah, that whole cannibal thing was just horrific in every way. I felt vomitous with the whole "tenderizing" thing.
