COE ouch

Just finished Torchwood: Children of Earth. For the first time. Not 100% unspoiled, but mostly.

How in hell am I going to get to sleep?

*shivers*

*sobs*

*gnashes teeth*




Bloody brilliant, though.



Anyone around here got some therapy?

(Fic, vids, anything, everything. I'll take chocolate, even. Just no fixit AUs - and I'm sure they're there - because I just... *squeezes canon tight* Or maybe an icon of, um, well, the survivors? Jack, Gwen and Rhys together in that scene at the end?)

Have you seen this (http://www.youtube.com/user/allchanges#p/u/0/We4k_VCXdAY/)? It was done before Children of Earth came out but it's good for a smile.
If you like it, be sure to check her other Doctor Who and Torchwood vid. Some of them are pretty damn funny.

Hee hee! Not bad, not bad at all! Thank you - I feel better already!
Incidentally - have you seen all of Torchwood? After Children of Earth, I'm kind of wanting to buy seasons 1 and 2 as well, but then a lot of people seem to be saying especially S1 isn't very good. I'm not sure if it'd be worth the money if it's just for, erm, gazing at Cap'n Jack while plot=baaaaaaad. Not that I'm against gazing at Jack, but, you know, I try not to be that shallow. ;)

Found some other stuff too that helped - have you seen the Dr Who edition of The Weakest Link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3u3seMW-jk)? Had me in stitches. And this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=314hQnRQ0hU), even though it's pretty sad, was also quite cathartic. Now I'm trying to find TW fics that aren't labeled either "hawt Jack/Ianto sex!" or "ignoring everything that happened in COE", which is, um, even harder than I expected. :)

Oh, and I just remembered - didn't you mention a holiday in Asia coming up sometime around this period? Are you back already? How was it?

Before Children of Earth, Torchwood was a guilty pleasure for me. Some episodes were quite bad, some were OK, a few were good. Season 1 is definitely the weaker. Still, the character are likeable and the premise is fun, so... Maybe try to watch one or two episodes before buying? Not very helpful, I know.

Videos bookmarked for when I have some time to watch them, thanks. Have you tried torchwood_house? I haven't been there for some time but you should be able to find some good fics.

Holiday was wonderful and is now over. Work is back with a vengeance -I think it's trying to kill me. I regret nothing.

Ah, well, I've been watching some Torchwood fanvids on youtube, and I think I'll enjoy it anyhow - even if it does look kind of silly at times. I mean, the Cyberwoman in a suit that includes a metal thong? Makes me think of the ST: TOS costume department, lol. :) But anyway, even if the plot turns out to be bad, Jack is pretty enough to make it bearable for a while. *wink*

Didn't know torchwood_house, no! Looks great, though, and with the amount of TW fic that's out there, it definitely helps having recs to go by. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed your holiday - and yeah, same here when it comes to work being a killer when coming back. Still, I agree - it's worth it.
