If they had only given us snarky gay Ianto and never given us HOLY CRAP IANTO KICKS ASS it would've been sufficient...
Dayenu!
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Right??!?
I mean, "Pray they survive."
Yowza.

Also, just so the record is totally clear I CALLED RHYS FROM THE VERY FIRST EPISODE. MINE. MY TASTY BEEF. MINE. YUM.
(which sounds so incredibly wrong after this ep, now that I think of it.)

Ha-ha-ha-ha!! Yeah, dodgy word-choice. He was fan-freaking-tastic this ep. Love the Rhys. And I love that Gwen stood up for him and won him the reprieve from the retcon. I liked seeing her fight for him and their life together .
And I like that it probably means we'll get more Rhys .

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
This is why it's not safe for me to skim through at the end of thread. I was reading about the awesomeness of Torchwood, then I was reading about "Victor Garber sings!"
For just a moment before my brain translated, I was thinking, "This show has everything! I can't wait for that episode!"

I watched 2 episodes of TW tonight, and I know it's not really possible to get critical of the whole wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff, but in 2.03 how did Jack know what would happen to Tommy when they sent him back if they hadn't sent him back yet? Surely the whole "closing the rift" thing came afterwards...? Oh dear.
From next week, they seem to be showing the subesquent ep. on BBC3 immediately after the one on BBC2. Ep 2.06 would appear to be the first one with Martha !

I echo amych's YAY.
Torchwood 2.04:
Oh, Ianto. If I had only known what we were missing in the first season. Sure, there was that time you almost got eaten by cannibals and you smirked at the guy before you headbutted him, but that was the tip of your awesomeness iceberg.
Also, I think I would be less irritated by the Jack/Gwen stuff if I knew where they were going with it. Or possibly more irritated.

Torchwood: I just try to pretend the Jack/Gwen stuff isn't there, because it is so random, and it never feels natural this season. Sadly, that usually doesn't work, and I'm just annoyed. I found the scene at the warehouse (before they knew what was going on with Rhys) particularly painfully bad last night. Maybe there will be an ep that shows us this whole other reality that only Jack remembers where he and Gwen were hot and heavy, because otherwise, I remain confused by the intensity of his emoting .
Also echoing the YAY!
