This week's Torchwood seems to have split my flist; I enjoyed it a lot but have one uber-petty complaint:


"Ever heard of immaculate conception?"

The idea that Mary was born without original sin in order to make her a perfect vessel for Christ? I've certainly heard of it but I'm not sure how it's relevant to Gwen's situation... oh, you mean virginal conception.

I didn't see this on broadcast but I did read people's reactions so I was expecting the worst re: Gwen and Gwen/Rhys, but I was pleasantly surprised. I love them together, I do. I adored Gwen's little 'squee!' face when she woke up and saw her wedding dress.

Gwen absolutely stole my heart this episode, Myles did a brilliant job - as did Kai Owen. Their scenes were pure gold, especially at the beginning where Gwen is chewing Rhys up for daring to suggest they postpone whilst simultanously reiterating just how much she loves him. Those two have made me such a Gwen/Rhys shipper. (And when I'm in a fluffy mood, kind of a Jack/Rhys shipper too, there were moments in this ep that had me going 'Awww'.)

Oh and did you see that SJA has been confirmed for a second series?

Eve Myles is brilliant when she's given comedy stuff to do - I loved her in Out of Time last year. And Jack/Rhys would be fluffy comedy gold. There must be a comm, there's one for everything else... (though I can't even find a Gwen/Rhys comm, woe)

I need more SJA nooooow.
