Blade arms are just stupid and awkward, and they tend to shoot out at odd times and skewer loved ones, at that.
Ianto seems to channelling his despair into witty snark, which seems very Whedonesque.
None of it means a damn thing.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm trying to figure out what sort of hugging position her arm was in that it did that when it changed.
You think despair, Theo? I've been working under the theory that this is (more-or-less) happy Ianto, and that last year we were seeing angsty Ianto.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Gah!
Things that are really good: finally finding a stall that sells Doctor Who Season 3.
Things that are very bad: watching all of said season with great glee, only to discover that the second part of the finale is not on any of the disks.
!!!!!!
I mean, I gather that the planet earth is saved. But, but, but...
weeps
Also - damn, I was looking forward to the slashy potential of THAT character cropping back up and interacting with the Doctor since - well, pretty much since the start of Season 1. And I was thoroughly spoiled, but it was so much more fun than I'd expected! But but but...
stares accusingly at DVDs. weeps some more
Also, lest I forget - not only is Martha made of awesome, but, damn, her mother is hot.
I think I need to go and re-read the kerfuffle about race in Doctor Who Season 3. Because I'm really not seeing badness. But that may be because of my priveleged position as white chick. But - really not seeing it, thus far. Perhaps I just need cluesticking.

Oh, dear, what an ep to be missing, Fay.

Personally Fay, I think that gives you a better viewing experience of Season 3 than those of us who saw the finale. Not a fan of how RTD handled the resolution of that season.

Out of curiosity, Matt, did you watch the SciFi or BBC cut of the ep?

Well, RTD is a Buffy fan.
Cause he clearly stole the Polgara demon.
My love for Ianto continues to grow. I love him to the point that I've named the iPhone Ianto.
his snark was lovely. That's all I got.

SciFi. Though from what I've heard and seen of the excised portions, they would have only solidified my opinion rather than changed it.

The evil is this way?
Seriously, did they get Joss in to write Ianto this ep? Because the snark had a Whedon-esque flair to it.
My thought, too. I know Russell Davis is a "Buffy" fan, but I've rarely seen a character getting to say that much snark outside a Mutant Enemy show. The actor delivers it well, too.
