The Tin Man really looks like fun.
(I have to admit that I haven't re-watched the Torchwood episode - my memories of it are vague and unenthusiastic.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
That's why it's brilliant. She knew he'd be hurt and angry. She wanted the catharsis of confessing without having to deal with the consequences. I mean, I totally agree that it makes her less likeable. But to me, it makes her more interesting.
Me too.
Upon rewatching the series, I was struck by the scene in the first episode where Gwen pleads with Rhys for forgiveness in a sort of jokey way, taking the piss; it's funny and affectionate, and when you know what's going to happen between them after she's been at Torchwood for a while, it's oddly shocking, because it's a mirror of that later scene. (Or perhaps rather the later scene mirrors that initial one - I don't know whether they'd planned their story arc before writing episode 1.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
A couple of things struck me.
First, Gwen expected an awful lot of Rhys. He's already upset because she's working extremely long hours. She's decided to confess to Rhys that she had sex with a a co-worker, and, by the way, she drugged him so he'll forget the confession. She seemed to expect forgiveness to come awfully easy after laying all that on him when he's already less than happy with the situation.
Which leads to the second thing. There was a kind of poetic justice that Rhys just fell asleep (okay, let's be fair, passed out) without really reacting at all. So she didn't get the forgiveness she asked for. Nor the blowup that, subconsciously, she may have wanted.

exactly. And shaking him and shrieking "tell me you forgive me" was not her finest hour.

Yeah. Hubs and I thought he might be dying. (We caught up on several episodes over the weekend, including the one about the fellow who started killing people because Susie had given him too many amnesia pills.)

I knooow. With the hi-res you can see Ronon's scuffy dirty boots and John's shiny dress shoes, and I can't wait for this episode!
