Torchwood: 2x12 -- Fragments

A) That may have been the awesomest awesome to ever awesome.

B) This icon is so appropriate.

C) I LOVE THIS SHOW! In yelling all-caps, which I normally never ever use, even.

More specifically -- Jack loves his team. His team loves him. His team loves each other. Jack is super-awesome (and kept looking for the Doctor throughout time... aw!). And we know why he says that thing about the 21st century now! Because Alex said it (and killed his whole bloody team to 'save' them from the future). And if last week was 'see how awesome Gwen is', this week was 'see how awesome everyone else is'.

So, Jack was gifted with TW3 and decided to make it a place of protection, rather than a place dedicated to hunting down the Doctor (hooray!). He saved Tosh from being held by UNIT for all her life (Boo UNIT!). Tosh is so amazing and great and awesome. I love her! And Gwen calling her 'darling' is such love.

Ianto joining the team was brilliant! He totally flirted his way in... but wasn't actually expecting to be attracted to Jack in the warehouse (because he has Lisa) and freaked out (but without letting Jack know). Ianto was awesome!

Dude! Owen with the tragic past! Fiancee killed by aliens! The violence that is such a part of his relationship with Jack!

*hearts them all with a fearsome heartness*

I think I love Owen now. I've been working towards it all season, but I really think it's official now. And Ianto, too. We have more explanation for the canon Ianto/Jack now! I am very pleased. Fandom can stop dumping on Gwen for being a threat aaaaaanytime now.

Also? I love my team almost as much as Jack does, if only because I wouldn't be able to die for them repeatedly.

I've loved Owen since 'Ghost Machine'. I'm not sure whether I should be proud of that or ashamed of it! *grins*

This was the perfect way to make sense of the confused signals that Ianto was sending out in first season -- he flirted his way in and it freaked him out when he realized he was attracted! It all makes sense! Mostly!

Fandom can stop dumping on Gwen for being a threat aaaaaanytime now.

I would love for this to happen. I want fandom to realize that Jack is capable of caring for many people and whatever he feels for Gwen does not compete with what he feels for Ianto.
