Torchwood meme...

[fajrdrako]

And old meme I thought I'd revive....

Torchwood

1. The first character I first fell in love with: Captain Jack Harkness. (The one played by John Barrowman, if there's any doubt here...)
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Ianto
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Owen
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Gwen (though I sometimes want to shake her!)
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: ...? No, basically I just came to like everyone in the show more as it continued, including Owen.
6. The character I would shag anytime: Jack
7. The character I'd want to be like: Jack
8. The character I'd slap: Owen
9. A pairing that I love: Doctor/Jack (Okay, I know the Doctor isn't in Torchwood exactly, but close enough)
10. A pairing that I despise: I find myself avoiding all fic about Gwen/Owen.
11. The incidental character I can't forget: Detective Swanson
12. The character I hope to see in future: Bilis Manger
13. The biggest loose end: Where'd the pterodactyl go?
14. Best prop: The hand. Special mention: Ianto's stopwatch.
15. Best garment: (1) Jack's braces (2) Jack's greatcoat (3) Owen's leather jacket. Special mention: all Ianto's suits.

I am totally with you on #3 and #4

Yes. Owen is find as a plot-driver, but remained irritating as a person until the end - though I did like Jack's forgiving cuddle, so we'll hope for better from Owen in series 2.

Gwen has wonderful moments and is sometimes adorable, but sometimes so impulsive and irrational that she'd make me groan. No sense, that woman, though lots of heart.

Is Harkness played by anyone else? I'm not familiar with the show, apart from people talking about it in their LJs.

It's a little complicated and it's something of a spoiler. Shall I explain? Shall I leave spoiler space in case you don't want to hear?

Okay, I'll do that. If you don't want to know, avert your eyes now.

Enough space?

Okay.

The hero of the story, the leader of Torchwood 3, played by John Barrowman, is called Captain Jack Harkness, but he took the name as part of a scam he pulled when he was a con man in mid-1941. In the episode of Torchwood called "Captain Jack Harkness" he goes back in time to January 1941 and meets up with the man whose name he took, a heroic RAF pilot, the original Captain Jack Harkness, played by Matt Rippy. And our Jack falls for that Jack so it's all very romantic.

Does it make more sense now?

Actually, yes it does, which should scare me. ::g::

Thank you.

You're a fan. You can cope with all sorts of twists and complications!

Actually both jamoche and I really loathe Owen. But I am really disappointed in this show, sigh.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Well, it's easy to loathe Owen. I did come to like his role in the story, but that's not at all the same as liking him. If nothing else, he does his best to hurt both Jack and Ianto, and I am protective of characters I like!

I am really disappointed in this show, sigh.

That's too bad! Maybe next season will suit you better?
