So, according to Teh Papers, yesterday was the second hottest October day on Record. 36.5 degrees Celsius. Yep, this summer looks like it might be less than fun, bushfires and droughts and water restrictions, oh my!

Onto more fandomly events: MsScribe "apologises". Yep, the queen of sockpuppets herself speaks out against the account of her deeds (which, although she denies reading, still claims it is mostly false). As people have commented, MsScibe appears to have a slight lack of sincerity. If by slight, I mean "huge".

In more cheerful topics, the BBC Torchwood site is now live. Yep, it's not long until it starts up. (If you are out of the UK, try this link to see more of the cool stuff - thanks to [livejournal.com profile] taraliveson for that).

Conclusions: As much as I do like Jack, I think I might end up watching this show for the rest of the ensemble. Because right now, they are the ones that really interest me. Maybe it's just the "I know nothing about them" factor (which has been known to compel me to certain characters), but still...

I have decided that I shall like Ianto. Because his pissy memo on the flash site is win.

Though as others on my flist have commented, certain things on the site give me a "trying too hard to be edgy" vibe. The excessive darkness, and overwritten angsty character descriptions. And the trailers obsession with the "adultness" of sex and violence. I'm hoping that the series is a little better than it's advertising.

I'm still giggling over the "hidden depths of anguish" bit in Ianto's character profile.

I've already metaquoted a comment from [livejournal.com profile] torch_wood about that line.

I have decided to like Ianto on the basis of a bitchy memo that makes him sound like a pterodactyl loving coffee fiend.

Yep, trust me to go to the "dark and adult" spinoff, and be most entertained by the silly, childish things.

From: [identity profile] aervir.livejournal.com


Nice quote, that!

And if they overdo their "dark and adult" stuff, they are going to look at least as silly as many a kids' programme, IMHO.

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


Well, it amused me, hence the metaquoting.

There's that, too. (How much you want to bet that a certain section of the Who fandom insantly declares it better that New Who, just because of said "dark and adult" stuff?)

My mini-TARDIS, my tiny K-9 replica and, hell, even my City of Death DVD.

I FOUND ANOTHER IANTO LOVER! Whee! Seriously, the guy loves coffee, how can one not love him? Let´s have a secret Ianto comm where we post our fav icons

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


So lets. Wait until the first ep, find a suitable quote, and we can hang around there and squee about the coffee-loving, pteryodatyl-caring Welsh bloke.

ianto_love: "Depths of anguish and darkness waiting to be revealed"

Sadly I have no idea how to create a comm ^^

From: [identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com


Recommend a better one. We need that comm up before the first ep, just for the attention ^^

If we have it, they will come

I sure I read a quote somewhere about disturbingly good coffee, think you could dig that up for me?

From: [identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com


Never heard that one before, all I could dig up was: Gareth has been shooting his first scenes as Ianto this week and his character is quite the charmer. Dressed in snazzy suits he guards the Hub from unwelcome attention and although not strictly part of Torchwood, his intelligence, good looks and a strange ability to make superb coffee makes him an valued contributor to their investigations.


Sounds like he's the bouncer with the Secret Ingredient Coffee ^^

And I just remembered JB defined Ianto as "Jack's boy toy" ^^

ehh... I'm not too creative today I fear... I need more coffee

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


Aye. Which is why I wanted to wait until the episode, see what quotes we get. (Is anything much said about Ianto in the trailers et al?)

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


ARGH, dark_coffee is taken. I'm fiddling round with spaces, but is there some way we could change it to make it less common (and thus, less likely to be in use?)

From: [identity profile] leoniedelt.livejournal.com


Sometimes its difficult for me to wrap my brain around it being 'summer' in October... Too long living in the northern hemisphere i suppose.

I read the toilets swirl the other way round down under... ;)

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


It's not actually Summer until December, we're just getting crazy summer weather now.

I read the toilets swirl the other way round down under.

Urban legend, I'm afraid

Is there any suggestion that Eve Myles' character (Gwen Cooper) might be related to her character in The Unquiet Dead (Gwyneth)?

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


We really don't know. All we know about Gwen is the current day, cop stuff, we really don't know much about her family or history.

Watch to find out, I suppose.

From: [identity profile] kniblet.livejournal.com


I was just wondering because the names were so similar. And because Gwyneth was able to communicate with the Gelth (who were involved in the Time War) and "died" in the rift between the two worlds.

From: [identity profile] kniblet.livejournal.com


It's comforting to know I am not alone in my paranoid delusions. :)
