You are in big trouble, girl. I've spent the last 45 minutes crying, and do you know why?

Because I listened to you and found a way to watch episodes of Torchwood. I just finished watching the final episode of season 1, "End of Days."

Crying, I tell you, c-r-y-i-n-g.

More than just a tear or two slipping out of the corner of my eye. No, I was blubbering like a big freakin' baby. It's all your fault.

And... I loved every minute of it. This show is bizarre and fantastic!

:D

Cheers.

xoxo

Yay! Another person who loves Torchwood despite its many flaws. ♥ If End of Days made you cry, wait until you get to Exit Wounds . . .

*BIG GRIN*

Well, clearly I'm a TW newbie, so I don't know about what anyone thinks of the show. What are some of the spots people have trouble with?

(That is, if it has to do with Season 1, because I haven't watched Season 2 yet, so don't give anything away!)

Lovely to hear from you, Molly.

Glad you're having some fun. Just don't go over to the dark side leave XF fandom in the process. You know I need you here. :D

Oh no, never!

In fact, I've set aside a copy of your K backstory story (heh, say that three times fast! I mean, the one you were asking about, in regard to Krycek characterization) and as soon as I'm able, I'll be sending you my thoughts. You know I'll always read your stuff, and I'll always have time and love in my heart for XF.

:D

*hugs you*

P.S. The dark side (ie, over-the-top, obsessive MSR) will never steal me away. I have far greater strength than that. I will persevere! (hee hee)

It's like your Krycek user pic is looking up at my Mulder user pic.

Heee.

I'll never abandon my XF interests. The truth is still out there, somewhere.

even after repeated viewings, I still cry. much like the last four episodes of Babylon 5, and that's a sobfest and a half!

It was everything. Gwen with Rhys (so agonizingly heart-wrenching); the fighting and fallout amongst the members of the Torchwood team; Jack's sacrifice; Gwen not giving up on Jack; Ianto and Jack; Owen and Jack...

*wail*

All of it just really got to me. I can't wait to watch Season 2.

:D

How've you been, Doss?

heh. I have been simultaneously worse and better! Isn't that the way that it always is? However, I am employed and healthy, so that kind of puts it all in perspective...

welcome to the wonderful world of torchwood :D (just a word of warning: if you decide to delve into the online fandom be weary of all the hate.)

Gwen, mostly. But also heterosexual relationships in general. It is a very strange fandom, Sherry. You might just want to stick to interacting with the fans you already know. :\

There are a LOT of anti-Gwen ppl in the fandom - to the point of character-bashing hatred. I understand not liking a character, but some ppl just go too far. I like her personally, I love that she's flawed and completely human.

I was browsing through my f-page and saw this and read the first line and burst into tears at the thought that I'm such a horrible person that I made a sensible, strong woman like you cry. Now that I'm a bit calmer, I can't decide whether I want to smack you for worrying me so much or tackle you for loving Torchwood.

If you thought you cried a lot over "End of Days", wait until the fifth to eighth episodes of season two. You will either not care, find a new appreciation for a character, or sob hysterically for a few hours. I'm guessing it'll be that last one, since I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you like the character that reminds me of a slightly less dorky Jack Hodgins. :P

Also, I apologize for, you know, telling you to watch good TV.

♥♥

Aw man, Callie... I didn't mean to make you cry! I was only teasing you!! I'm so sorry.

See? This is why I should never play jokes like that. I feel like dirt. You may now punch me.

*GRIN*

Sincerely, I hope you know I was only kidding.

And now you may tackle me, because yes, I do love Torchwood. And now I want to know all about your favorite parts of it -- you too, Willowwood -- tell me stuff, will you?

I have now watched the episodes I believe you were speaking of, and yes, I cried yet again. (And I assume you are comparing Owen Harper to Jack Hodgins, yes?) Crying, I tell you. My heart... this show... *muffled sob* I love the whole team. Each character is a true individual, don't you think? They each bring something different to the team. I find them all fascinating.

And fun. I mean... Ianto and Jack... rowr. *ahem* Heee. What was I saying?

Annnyway...

Yes, thanks very much, you should definitely apologize for telling me to watch good TV. Clearly, you have corrupted me.

;D

*hugs you*

Eheeee! is it weird of me to be this excited?? lmao.

Also you HAVE got to watch S2! Like D said is S1 had you blubbering like a baby, then S2 will have you withering and shaking in a corner....in all the best ways of course lol.

*laughing uproariously*

Well, I'm still working my way through all the seasons of the new Doctor Who, and now Torchwood, but yes, Will, I guess you could say I have been completely charmed by British TV. Sucked in. Heee.

Absolutely, get excited! *BIG GRIN*

I'm slowly working my way through Season 2 of Torchwood and already I don't want it to end. When does the new season start?

As for all your detail questions... I need to think on that some more! I love all the characters for different reasons, and there are several episodes I like a LOT. And ships -- gosh, on this show there are so many possibilities, LOL. Let me get back to you on all this, very soon.

What are your favorites?

*hugs you* So happy you popped by. I know you don't often get a chance to post!

[identity profile] willowwood.livejournal.com 2008-11-06 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay!! =D =D =D

I'm slowly working my way through Season 2 of Torchwood and already I don't want it to end. When does the new season start? - Unfortunately I'm fairly certain S3 doesn't air over here until April and then when it does it's only going to be 5 episodes long, all of which are gonna be shown throughout one week, Monday to Friday!! *sulks*. That's so unfair don't you think?? So, how far have you got now? considering it's take me like a life time to reply to this comment I'm guessing you've probably finished S2 by now right?!

Hmmm ok lets see my specific loves of TW. Well I totally ADORE Gwen, seriously second girlcrush next to Angela (of course) lol. As for ships I'm definitely with the Gwen/Owen shippers and really wish it had been so much more than it actually was! She can do so much better than Rhys! But then there's also a part of me that loves the idea and chemistry between Jack/Gwen that whole will they/won't they thing is infective lol. Episode wise I adore the first episode of S1, I'm usually not a fan of 'Pilot' episodes cause they're usually such a hit and miss kinda thing but I just adore the very first episode of TW, and Countrycide (the one with the freaky cannibals) has got to be my favourite episode of ALL TIME!! As for S2 there are just so many! Although off the top of my head the two with James Marsters in are definitely high on my list of faves lol, not to mention any where Gwen and Owen are especially awesome.

So you managed to compose a list of your faves yet?

*hugs back*
