Torchwood: Ghost Machine

[butterfly]

First off, I would just like to say one thing.

*clears throat*

Dude! I love Captain Jack Harkness so much! He is lovely and wonderful and really (really) pretty. Do you know what else I love?

I love Torchwood.

Mostly recently, I really, really love Owen. I was all kinds of iffy about him in the first episode, when he had his fucked-up date-rape perfume, but he totally pulled it out this most recent episode. He was an asshole to the people he fucked (over), but because he was an unreflective asshole and one that really didn't have any idea of the consequences of his actions, it meant that when he was directly confronted with those potential consequences, as he was in Ghost Machine, it completely shook his world. I doubt that he's ever going to not wonder what the person he's thinking of kissing might really be feeling -- because he knows absolute, helpless terror now. He gets it. I was slightly worried, that first episode, that maybe that the writing team wasn't thinking about what was really happening with that perfume, but now that I know they were, it'll be much easier for me to trust them in the future. Yay!

And now there isn't a single character that I don't like. That's always nice.
