That's what Torchwood does, you see...
Jul. 24th, 2009 10:53 pmPerhaps the most intense hours I've ever had. Oh, show, what have you done to me? Sad story is sad. Made me tear up really badly, which is saying something because I'm not one for crying over shows and books and things.
There was some very good writing and utterly kick-ass acting. And some very... heavy comments on life, politics, and humanity.
How heroic is the hero? At what point does anything become justified?
And how twisted we have made the world for ourselves.
What matters? What really matters? And at what cost?
In Gwen's own words, sometimes the Doctor must turn away in shame.
She also tells Jack he has to stop running. She's right. But he can't, because that's enough weight to crush even an immortal man. I think that's part of being who he is. He can't stop running.
In other but related news I am now motivated to make a character based largely off Ianto.
In COMPLETELY other news my dear friend is in from Nevada and, though she is currently with her cousins, it's nice to have her here. Shipazz. No, wait- Shipazz! Gotta say it with the exclamation point. Took her to renfaire and had an amazing time, and- my mom is on a first name basis with the music director there, so on the off chance I learn to play the tin whistle or the recorder by whenever auditions are we might persure that as a job for next summer. Hayley (my friend) said she would fly in to audition with us and stuff. That would be... 'wicked', I think, is the word I'm looking for.
I do love renfaire. And I have slowly but surely become and more facinated with steampunk, seeing as it's the theme for the next Windycon and I've looked into it. Is pretty and shiny and COOL.
That ends the utterly random transmission. You may return to your normal broadcast schedule. Enjoy your day/night/next 24 hours.
