It's a pity they can't just pale him up like they did for DB on Buffy(I'm assuming with powder).

But then again that show had Southern California teenagers for contrast, whereas Torchwood has a bunch of Welsh characters that spend all their daylight hours underground. Tosh is the only one with any color unless Ianto is crying, which, please no.

Thanks to Kevin, this has been a lost weekend devoted to binge viewing TW, Moonlight and now moving on to Robin Hood S2. Which, since I'm waiting for my out of town guest to recover from some sort of funny tummy, is made of win. Except for the not getting anything useful done. Thanks Kev!

Oh, awesome: Lithiumdoll posted an SCC vid, here: [link]

Lovely and complex.

The thing that really struck me during my multiple viewings of this ep of Torchwood, was how lovely and evocative the music was. It really enhanced the sadness.

I'm head over heels in love with that SCC vid, not only for the awe-inspiring wondrousness of the editing, but also because it deals with the most fascinating aspect of SCC (IMO) in the juxtaposition of Cameron's behavior with everyone else's, especially Derek's.

Juliebird, my comment was that I loved how it showed the way Cameron is learning from a very odd set of role models.

hee.

No probs, bonny. I bring the procrastination everywhere I go, like the lurgy!

So "A Day in the Death" aired tonight?

And my dvr cut off the last couple of minutes. Could someone recap? Owen was up on the roof w/ the suicidal lady and he's showing her the glowy thingy.

I'm finally getting caught up with TW. Watched 2.01 through 2.04 yesterday. I'm having a hard time telling if they're trying to set up Jack/Ianto or Jack/Gwen. Sometimes, both in the same episode. Too many yearning looks, innuendo and subtext. I hope it all pays off by the end of the season.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was, of course, scads of fun. JM gives good leer and lip wibble. Lip gloss and poodles! Lot's of memorable moments for that one, but until the very end, not a lot of payoff. Looking forward to that in a big way! Oh, and Jack died, again. What night does this air? Because it must be that night. And, harking back to the end of season one and what appears to me to tie into an emerging theme of this season, is it a sacrifice if you can't die?

Sleeper, at first, seemed like it was just another alien invasion foiled by TW. It was sad and affecting that Beth was able to hold on to enough humanity to sacrifice herself in the end. It raises the questions of what is it to be human, that makes one human?

Then came To the Last Man, with Tom and Tosh. I wasn't sold on Tosh being so gaga over the guy, having only known him for what amounted to four days of his life. But, the episode worked in the fact that by the end, despite his fear, Tom did what was needed to save the world at the expense of his life. He was someone else who had to sacrifice themselves for the sake of humanity.

Meat, which is what I've seen through so far, didn't seem it was going to have an overwhelming message. Rhys took a bullet for Gwen, which while showing us how committed Rhys is to Gwen, didn't result in ultimate sacrifice. Owen commited euthenasia, which begs the question, was this sentient being's death a sacrifice for the sake of humanity or just for the lives of TW? Did Owen have the right to choose for him? What will be the fallout from it? Is man, without sacrifice, just more meat?

At least, I've got all those questions until I get into more of the episodes. I've read a bit of the whitefont on the current episodes, because I am weak, but I haven't read enough to see how it's all playing out.

eta: It could be, too, that since I watched Pan's Labyrinth this weekend, my mind is overly set on sacrificing oneself.
