Ramblings of a madwoman

Day 20: Favourite Gwen Moment

This is going to be hard for all the characters, so for Gwen I’m going for two that show different sides of her for me. The first is her conversation about sex with Emma-Louise in “Out of Time”. It always makes me laugh and her facial expressions are just brilliant.

The otherside of the coin is Gwen fighting off the paramedics in "Day Two".

Day 18: Character You Relate To The Most

Ianto. We are similar in a few too many ways than feels healthy sometimes. I'm very aware of his flaws.

Day 16: Favourite Piece of Music –

This could be so many different choices as the original music and score is fantastic and the choice of songs used is usually great, for example, Blur’s Song 2 in KKBB.

But the one I will choose, though not my fave as such, is Monster by The Automatic. Whenever I hear it the very first thing I think of is Torchwood and that makes me happy.

The second thing is murdering it drunkenly with shamazipan on new year’s eve, but that is a different story…

Day 14: Favourite Couple

Jack and Ianto to be totally unoriginal.

Day 12: Favourite Quote

There are two many it is impossible to choose, but if pushed I’ll go for something from Sleeper; one of the many great lines Mr Moran gave Ianto if I’m further pushed.

Day 10: A Scene That Made You Smile

There are tons, but the first one I remember really making grin and thinking “hell yeah, laughs too” is when Owen is watching Carys and Gwen in the cells together  and then Jack and Tosh come to watch too. The whole, “we should really stop them.” “yeah, we really should” but forgetting to move thing, then Owen still not going until he has hit record. Fabulous.

Day 08: Favourite Minor Character

This is tougher, and what does it mean by minor character? I’m going to cop out either way and say PC Andy. It’s tough, I want to say Rhys, but I have to choose one and Andy, well Andy just rocks doesn’t he? (and he’s more minor that Rhys so prob better to include)

Andy puts up with so much, complains like a bastard, but just keeps doggedly doing his job anyway. He’s like the Duracell bunny; nothing will stop him.

And then…THEN!!! we get his masterpiece at the end of CoE. When he throws of his uniform and hurls himself into that fight you see him shed what he thinks is the right thing to do, to do what he actually believes is the right thing to do. It’s brilliant character development and I think Tom Price does a wonderful job playing him.

And I don’t write him often enough, but when I do, I really enjoy it.

Andy, I salute you.

Day 05: Least Favourite Episode

Hmmm…the ep I have the biggest love hate relationship with is Reset, so will say that.

I’m sorry, but Martha annoys the tits off me. You want a companion to feature? BRING BACK ROSE! Would have been so much more interesting; can you imagine the dynamic with Jack/Ianto/Rose? Awesome. No, we get whiney Martha.

There are some good fun moments, some lovely lines and it does have its good points. I also love the idea of the alien farm being so abhorrent to the team; it shows the areas of grey that they have to deal with.

But, it also has Martha and Owen dies and that sucks to end all sucky things. (although I still remember my reaction when that happened; just being totally stunned. Great TV. See, love/hate relationship)

Day 03: Favourite Series

Series two. I prefer the characterisation in series two, and it’s still got that lovely cheesey quality that made the first two seasons the lovable, delicious TV that they were.
