"Countrycide"
Jan. 13th, 2016 10:52 amI really hope that this journal doesn't turn into a record of my reactions to watching Torchwood. Well, at the very least, I need to get myself a Jack userpic. *shrug*
Anyway, I just wanted to say that we watched "Countrycide" last night, and we loved it. It was tense and gripping, and eventually very creepy. There was very little lack of skill demonstrated by the TW team. And none of the overwrought angst that killed some of the previous episodes (sorry, Ianto, but "Cyberwoman" was awful...). I checked Graph TV to see how the episodes are rated against each other, and it's rated pretty well, and the season more or less only goes up from here (except for one episode which is rated pretty bad), so I have hope for more entertaining evenings for the rest of the week.
Random comment: You know, I *really* hate that Ten's signature item (like Eleven's fez) is the 3-D glasses. They were used once, in his first season, for a specific purpose. Why are they his signature item?? It ruins fan art for me. I just saw a gorgeous t-shirt with drawings of all the Doctors, all completely serious, except Ten had the 3-D glasses on. None of the others had extra props. It looked STUPID. Why??

Thanks! And a Jack question...
Jan. 12th, 2016 05:54 pmHi again! Thank you very much for all of the well-wishes for my job situation! So many replies that I decided to do a general one here. I am optimistic for both getting a project in that will let me keep my job and getting time off if that doesn't happen, so it's all good.
Thanks also for the pretty much unanimous advice of avoiding "Miracle Day." I do plan to find a synopsis to see if there's anything I need to know for writing future fanfics involving Jack.
And that brings me to my question about him. I've only seen him in Doctor Who and the first five episodes of Torchwood, so it's very possible that my question is answered later on, but here it is. In "The Last of the Time Lords", the Doctor "breaks" Jack's vortex manipulator to keep him from teleporting in time and space. I know from TW that Jack has some power beyond modern humans (one of the episodes had him doing some energy thing), but nothing really remarkable.
So, given that, how did Jack get to the space pub that he was in when the Doctor hooked him up with Midshipman Frame? If we assume that Midshipman Frame is a humanoid with similar aging and life span to humans, it couldn't have been too far in the future of "The End of Time", so it's not like Jack waited until humans got out into space and got there that way. Does he acquire some technology in TW that allows him to planet-hop?

Torchwood help, please?
Aug. 4th, 2015 10:09 pmI'm trying to write a fic that includes Jack Harkness while he's at Torchwood, but the problem is that I've never seen Torchwood, so I can't be sure at all that I'm writing him or anything else associated with him in character. Would anyone like to comment on the questions I have about the show?
