Torchwood: anticip....ation is a good thing...

[fajrdrako]

I couldn't help making a note of the link to sam42's livejournal, since she has posted a slowed-down version of a certain moment from a certain recent trailer for Torchwood series 2.

Just in case I might want to see it again. You never know.

It's very squeeful.

I suppose it answers my question as to whether Ianto is going to forgive Jack for running out on him to be with the Doctor. The answer is 'yes'. And quite right, too.

I wonder if this scene will happen in the first episode, or later in the season. Or in every episode.


Bring it on, guys. Bring it on.

Not that I know Jack very well, but they seem to both be the kind of person who cares deeply, is very cynical, wants to fix things, and is a bit broken.

I haven't read Vimes yet, so I can't comment on him. But I love Jack.

- the kind of person who cares deeply

Definitely.

- is very cynical

Hmm. I think not, though a case could be made. I think he is a total romantic who has to remind himself not to let his guard down. Not a cynic by nature, but sometimes a cynic by conscious policy.

- wants to fix things

Yes. That's one place the Doctor is his role model.

> and is a bit broken

In some ways; it's hard to judge now how broken he actually is. He has been broken, a number of times, and he's rebuilding himself again. (I could make a Lymond parallel again.) Seeing the Doctor again helped him a lot, and learning why he is immortal. He's still working a lot of things out.

I think I need to take back the cynical remark for both Jack and Vimes (and Mal, for that matter). Part of their charm is that they're a lot less cynical than they might be.

But you really should meet Vimes. Here's the reading order of books he's in (under City Watch), which are my favorite Discworld books:

Which is why they often need to pretend to be cynical. It's a veneer.

I love reading Terry Pratchett and I'm sure (from all I've heard) that I will like Vimes. Thanks for the book list - so i should be starting with <i>Guards! Guads!</i> I can do that.
