Oh, I thought the guns were totally just an excuse for the intimacy. The close-ups of the scene were of their eyes and faces mostly, not the shiny gun and gun barrel, etc. A lot of the time the gun isn't even in the frame. It's the proximity and the touching.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What Scrappy said. I think finding the guns a sexy part of that equation is an American way to look at it, now that I think more on it. Toss in a side of "I am manly, little lady--witness my prowess" on top of the closeness, and we have the hot.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The close-ups of the scene were of their eyes and faces mostly, not the shiny gun and gun barrel, etc
Right, but, they were also just shooting the living daylights out of everything, without aiming or taking any precautions or even much of a formal stance. Compare to the target-practice scenes that you see in (American) TV series all the time... Which came first, Capt. Jack turning everything into sex, or sex turning everything towards Capt. Jack?
As these things go, not a bad dilemma to have.

Thrive to spite them
I always stifle a laugh when capt Jack draws a gun, it's so....unnatural looking. Or reminds me a bit of Kirk fighting in Star Trek, I can't real explain it but over the top fakey I guess.
Not that I don't love Capt Jack but he's better at flirting than drawing a pistol.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Torchwood:
Ianto Jones, v2.0: HILARIOUSLY BITCHY.
Solid plot too, I thought, with a good guest star. And arc-building for the season. I'm pleased.

Torchwood 2.2:
Oh, Ianto, how are you so awesome? Actually, they were all pretty awesome. The lead guest actor was really terrific, I thought. Too bad she had to die. Brave way to go, though.
I'm trying to figure out what the arm/sword reminded me of. I think it's something from Buffy.
CB radio! Loved that. Breaker, breaker.
OK, so last week's preview was from coming episodes, then. I was kind of wondering how they were going to cram all into one. And only the second one.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Torchwood 2.2: You know, the more I think about it, the more I think it might be T2. Is there a scene in a kitchen where Robert Patrick has someone skewered against a wall with a sword/arm while he's talking on the phone? In my mind, I am seeing this. Though, sadly, that doesn't mean it's accurate.
Yes, the phone rant was awesome .
ETA: Thanks, tiggy.
