So, Torchwood then...

[matgb]

Right, laptop plus telly equals liveblog attempt.

1) So far we've had a crappy joke about a bloke with a blowfish mask, a crap car chase, Jack magically appearing behind someone who got shot with clearly no one there.

Oh, and Spike's throwing people off buildings and showing off his guns.

2) Bar cleared of all but the pretty people, JAck's got his answermachine turned off but it's a holograph projector and Spike's made an Obi-Wan joke, can we hear it for "aimed at fandom" telly?

The snog, and now the fight. And we cut to the idiots in the car.

Jennie's sat next to me doing the same thing and I'm going to continue in the comments instead of constantly editing...

Edit after the broadcast: Well that was bollocks wasn't it? Better than last season but the first episode needed to be. LJ crapped out and would let either of us get here about half way through, but, well, it' would just've been angry ranting about frustrating plot devices and utter stupidity at all points. Anyone want a poll? Nah, didn't think so.

the fight is totally rubbish. it doesn't even look like anyone is getting hit.

[matgb]

Agreed. Now they're drinking bottles. Gah!

[secritcrush.livejournal.com]

So, secrit cannisters of doom must be worth a kabillion dollars.

[matgb]

Well, or maybe nothing and it's all a trick...

[secritcrush.livejournal.com]

You mean it's all a pointless episode so we get to know jack better? Perish the thought!

[matgb]

Well, we've already had the character intro opportunity.

Now we're getting the Tosh fancies Owen (the rapist) bit, and Spike's being nasty as expected.

It's Chibnall, it will therefore be overblown sexist crap, he's nearly as bad as Rusty.

3) Mine's bigger ... yeah, but mine lasts longer.

And Toshiko fancies Spike already. Now we have a plot, any good? Let's see.

Tosh is showing off and Spike's impressed. Jack doesn't want him around and the team wants more info...

[matgb]

Gwen led the team while Jack was away? What? Who'd trust her to be in charge? She's engaged? Because No one else would have me, well yeah, if you keep doing th edoe-eyed pathetic look.

[matgb]

Paralysing lipgloss? We're not ripping off Whedon in every way possible, no not at all. Honest.

And Gwen's stuck in the middle of a big factory and needs to be found in bugger all time minus a bit.

my lipgloss tastes like strawberry.

[secritcrush.livejournal.com]

To be fair, whedon is hardly the first to go for that one, so his ripoff skills are ecumenical.

Re: my lipgloss tastes like strawberry.

[matgb]

True, but Rusty rarely if ever misses an opportunity to rip off Whedon, it would just be better if he was less blatent :-(

[matgb]

Oh gods, Jack/Ianto is to remain canon and get actual real dates and romance. That's keep the crazies happy then.

[matgb]

Toshiko and the magical triangulation device saves the day. Detected how, exactly? Mystical microwave residues?

[misscoollinda.livejournal.com]

oh dear. That doesn't sound promising. We won't be seeing it here until the 26th.

Start running now.

Though I did quite like the Obi Wan Kenobi bit.
