Mega Headslap

I am in awe (and not in a good way) of the number of people who are trying to rationalize the monstrous number of plot holes and continuity errors in the series of Torchwood, and especially in this most recent episode.

The excuses that have been made to explain how Jack could have known that he was a fixed point, and so on, are staggering. It's even been suggested that Jack's meeting with what's-his-name in 1927 was in an alternate time line.

Seriously, WTF???

I admit I've not found this series as abhorrent as I expected it to be, but there is no overlooking the gaping holes and errors in the storylines. It just staggers me that people don't want to see what is so glaringly obvious. Also, I find it sad, but not surprising, that many fanfic writers are better at tying up loose ends and avoiding plot holes than the actual show writers.

Fic: Fairy Mischief Chapter 1/5

[backrose-17.livejournal.com]

Title: Fairy Mischief

Fandom: Torchwood

Pairings/Characters: Jack/Ianto, Tosh, mentions of Rhys/Gwen and Owen/Gwen

Summary: Jack sets Gwen straight about what she thinks is going on between them, all the while dealing with the fairies.

Rating: R

Beta: The amazing royalladyemma

Disclaimer: I don’t own the pretties of Torchwood. RTD can keep Gwen, and I am pretty sure that Jack and Ianto belong to one another.

Author Notes: This is the first sequel to my alien Ianto fic Screams of the Lost, my take on ‘Small Worlds.’

Rant about Gwen in TW:MD ep08 preview (spoilers)

[charie-caphine.livejournal.com]

A preview snippet of the upcoming episode 8, 'End of the Road', has been released, in which [a] Gwen's conversation makes no sense to me given her behavour in the previous episode (and I doubt context will help), and which [b] showcases more of the painfully familiar Gwen's antics.

( the preview clip and my rant, proceed with caution )

Of course, that's just the preview, and may not present the situation in a correct light - but I rather doubt it.

Fic: ABFTWW update

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Hey folks,

I'm back, and now it's update time. Chapter 08 of "A Big Fat Torchwood Wedding" has been posted to otherworlds_lib. In which Gwen wakes up to a really nasty surprise - and comes to a completely wrong conclusion, as usual -, Andy gets the chance to end up as dinner, Molly the dog proves useful and Ianto is pissed off.

Enjoy, and send a few nice, reviews my way if you like it. Encouragement is important, especially when we are melting inside our skins over here. *sighs*
