fajrdrakoKeeping the world clean...
I keep seeing people using brooms today. Maybe that's not so unusual... as I left my apartment, a man was sweeping the driveway. (Probably our new cleaner, I haven't seen him yet.) As I was taking the bus to work, a woman was sweeping the sidewalk outside her shop. And just now I passed our cleaner at work, sweeping out the foyer by the front doors. None of this is unusual, but I did think, "Why do I keep seeing this?" I thought perhaps it was a hint from the cosmos that I should sweep my own floors, but I did that yesterday - it isn't as if I'm overdue.
Flist comments
Saw a couple of things on my flist. One person said the chapters of her work in progress had 'different ratings, depending on content'. Well, yes, isn't that the whole point of ratings? To indicate something about the content?
Torchwood/Doctor Who comments and questions
Another person wondered what Ianto was doing in the Year that Never Was. But Ianto never had a Year that Never Was because he was the part of the year that wasn't. Only the Doctor, Martha, Jack, Tish, and Francine remember that year, right? I'm not sure about Lucy Saxon.
The question in my mind - and I'm not sure I've ever heard an answer to it - is this: Jack left Torchwood hanging onto the TARDIS, went to the far future, then came back to our time (or whatever passes for the present in Doctor Who and Torchwood) and then the Year that Never Was happened. That non-year came to an end, the world was restored to the point just before the Toclafane came. Jack then returned to the Hub in "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang" some six months or so after he left. Seems to me there's almost six months of jack's life unaccounted for there.
It would be nice to think he got to spend some time with the Doctor. But I wonder.
Am I right about where the Year that Never Was was reset to? The Torchwood crew never did go to the Himalayas, right? Did the American President survive in the new reality? Presumaby he did.... Or people would be wondering why he was missing. Dead. Whatever.
