"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Torchwood 2.1: The first time I meant to say it, but when you all said there was a good balance of snogging & fighting I didn't realize you mean in such quick succession. There was the Kiss Kiss and there was the Bang Bang and there wasn't too much else.

I adore the Ianto reaction shots to everything. And of course, I just adore Ianto himself. "Are you going back to him?"

Are we supposed to see Tosh & Owen getting set up, with all the "nobody I can relate to" conversation? Or were they just commiserating?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I saw the potential set-up for Tosh and Owen, Liese. Seemed rather anvilicious to me. But it could have been a red-herring for some other triangle-to-be.

Second time round, JM was even less Spike-like (as in, I'm personally getting over his hair not being blond.)

Boggle indeed.

I've read that Andy Dick was also the homecoming king in his senior year in High School.

Could AD's general asshattery be a façade?

Could AD's general asshattery be a façade?

Not really, no. He was a nice enough kid in high school (we were in an acting class together the summer between junior and senior year), but I could see how Hollywood, drugs, and just sheer asshattery could take over. He was a class clown/theater geek combo with the potential of letting the ego take over even back then. And you probably read about his homecoming king campaign from when I posted it (he won with the poster slogan "Don't vote for a jock--vote for A. Dick!").

Missing in action since 2002...

Could AD's general asshattery be a façade?

No.

So did the editors slice up the ends of shots, did they speed up the BBC broadcast, am I just drunk, or any/all to make TW 2.1 fit into US broadcast times?

(And don't get me started with what they did at the end of The Runaway Bride to fit into an hour. Fuming, I was.)

I'm trying to get friends into the show by describing it as "Imagine Angel if they were all horny bisexuals." (Buffista respose: "Imagine?")

Tosh did have a serious crush on Owen for most of S1 and previously.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Owen could do much much worse. Tosh could do much much better....

I thought Tosh and Owen had slept together once (prior to sesason 1) and Owen's been a "been-there-done-her" weasel ever since. I don't know where I got that impression - maybe it was the mind-reading episode?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't know where I got that impression - maybe it was the mind-reading episode?

In "Countrycide", when they all talk about who they kissed last, Tosh says it was Owen for her, after the Christmas party. I don't think it went any farther than that, and I don't think Owen even remembered.
