fajrdrako: ([Torchwood] - Gwen)


We all know a lot of Torchwood fans don't like Gwen Cooper. And some fans compare and contrast her to Ianto - as if it's an either/or choice, we can like one or the other, but not both. I liked both of them, and loved their different relationships with Jack, and loved the way they cared about each other, without jealousy, even though they both loved Jack. They quite rightly never saw themselves as rivals for Jack's love, so why should they be rivals for the love of the viewers?

This is a bit of self-indulgence for myself: the moments when I most love Gwen Cooper. It isn't that there haven't been times when she's made me roll my eyes and think "Gwen, Gwen, why did you do that? You released the serial killer Susie for what reason, exactly?" But Gwen's idiosyncrasies just make me love her all the more.

This photo-essay might be taken as illustration the reasons I do. Let me count the ways. )

It occurs to me that Gwen Cooper in "Children of Earth" reminds me of Michelle Forbes.

I can't think of praise greater than that.

Though many Torchwood fans dislike her, I love Gwen Cooper for a lot of reasons - including both her flaws and her virtues. I was happy to see [livejournal.com profile] house_of_cooper featuring a Gwen Cooper/Eve Myles love-in.

What's your favourite Gwen moment in Torchwood (or Doctor Who)? Or top three?
  1. A collection of moments with a theme: Gwen in the in her uniform in the rain watching Jack and the Torchwood team at the beginning of "Everything Changes". Or chasing after Jack at the hospital. Or using her judgement and authority with the Cardiff police in "Exit Wounds". I love Gwen being a cop.

  2. Just about any scene in which Gwen is with PC Andy. Especially her meeting with him outside the club in "Day One", when he learns that she's with Torchwood and is giving him orders.

  3. Gwen snogging the sex alien in "Day One", and her later conversation about it with Jack and Toshiko.

  4. Gwen grieving for Rhys and having her hands washed by Jack in "End of Days"; then attacking him and weeping.

  5. The shooting gallery scene in "Ghost Machine".

In the interests of honesty (and revealing myself here as utterly shallow), I have a particular fondness of the scene of Gwen using her computer in her lingerie in "Everything Changes" where she is just so sexy and cute.

What's been your favourite Eve role? Gwen Cooper.

What's your favourite Gwen-orientated fic you've read? No answers to this spring to mind. Suggestions welcome. Most fic writers I've been reading either don't like her, or don't feature her.

Any favourite pictures? PC Cooper, curious... )

Let me add: 10 Reasons I love Gwen Cooper
  1. She takes responsibility for her mistakes, and learns from them.
  2. She's driven by curiosity and compassion.
  3. She's honest, and says what she thinks.
  4. She loves Jack, but doesn't mind opposing him when it seems appropriate.
  5. She loves two men, and is handling it to the best of her abilities.
  6. She likes sex. A lot.
  7. She's a good friend to Ianto, especially in series 2.
  8. She's cute in uniform.
  9. She is willing to be convinced she's wrong.
  10. She risks her life to save others, without hesitation.
