gwen-of-cooper.livejournal.com posting in antigwenallies Feb. 5th, 2011 10:01 pm)Hello, all my lovely worshippers!
My my, I've been so busy being awesome in several international locations that I've been so bad at updating you as to every moment of my waking life. Fear not, my dear loyal subjects, for I come bearing the fruit of my labours.
Please, if you do not mind being spoiled for the pinnacle of my awesome yet to come, click on this cut and observe me in all my ass-kicking, leather-jacket-wearing glory...
See how Rhys and ... erm... the baby (Anwen, was it?) cower at my feet, and Jack stands there uselessly whilst I save them all from CERTAIN PERIL. Fear not, my loves - my aim is even better than it used to be, even though I haven't fired a weapon for two years!
That look on Jack's face is not, I assure you, 'Erm ... that's not what you were supposed to be aiming at...' - it's PURE AMAZEMENT that he's too useless to do anything, and I must step in and do everything he can't. He's still completely and utterly in love with me, and so is that black dude with the dog's name that I might push into the firing line for funsies.
It's a good job I knew exactly what to expect when firing a bazooka for the first time, otherwise the unexpectedly HUGE force of the recoil might have thrown me backwards out of the vehicle and under the wheels!
So, my devoted followers, here's to another nine years ofTorchGwenwood - as long as my hand doesn't get tired and I accidentally hit that big red button with my beautiful fingers, taking out Rhys and Anwen in the process!
To whom would I then get to be myself around and still expect to be there at the end of the day? I must put myself first for once!
All my love and devotion (to myself),

And this is sadly true. Yet another reason why I won't watch Gwenwood.

It's a few years ago, granted, and it was an older model but...well, let's just say you needed to be on the ground, and have your earplugs in and you heat proof head gear...and no, I was not even firing the flipping thing!!!
I am not at all sure why people in films overuse this equipment the way they do.
Still, lovely to see you are still full of the awesumm, Gwennypoo, keep it up, eventually you will run out of luck.

Gwen and Rhys decide to run away and join the Welsh Travelling Circus as a launched-from-a-cannon act. (NOBODY will ever be able to figure out it's them.) They're starting small, with a rocket launcher (so as to get the baby used to the experience), and will move on up to a full-sized cannon in a year*.
And Rhys is canny enough to have hired someone to DNA-program the buttons on the cannon to ignore any pressings by Gwen, thus ensuring that innocent people don't get destructed by accident.
*"Year" is RTD-speak for next week.

::stands by with oxygen tank::
I just have to shake my head at the spoilers I've read. Realistically, wouldn't it be easier - far, far, far easier - to send in a Spec Ops or two and permanently get rid of Rhys & Gwen. Bang. Bang. All gone. - than to send out umpteen helicopters, chases on the beach with grenade launchers, etc., etc., and try to cover *that* up?
I know, RTD's involved. It'll never happen.

When is Miracle Whip set?
I heard two years after CoE is this correct?
I only ask because you look at pictures of Rhys holding Anwen and she looks like an infant
Now if Gwen was 3 weeks pregnate in CoE and CoE was set in Sept 2009 (confirmed by the newspaper Ianto picks up) this means Gwen's due date June; perhaps even 26-06-2010? like maybe Gwen giving birth would be a big bang...but I digress...My point here is June 2010 is the due month which means Baby cooper is over a year old so why is Rhys carring around what looks like is only 5 months old?

pfft, it's not like timelines and continuation ever meant that much to Torchwood. All of Series 2 up to Something Borrowed happened within a week if you go over the dates presented.

So I guess Anwen, who was supposed to be 2 yo is now only an infant.
Logic, no? ;P

That's what I've read in some interview with RTD. And yes, the child looks no more than 4 months old in size. Perhaps she's developmentally delayed physically, Gwennie sucking all the good stuff out of the atmosphere to maintain her super-ness and leaving none for the poor bah-bee? (Alternately, it's 2 years in RTD time, which means differing amounts of time depending on what RTD wants for that scene.)
Oh, for a show bible.

This was ofcourse resolved by Ianto saving the day, sadly, that's not going to be reality.
Also, do they even have scenes with ya know, an actual baby, or are we just never going to see his/her face

ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.

Re: she's aiming that thing at her hubbie and baby
In any case, both Rhys and the baby are better off dead. Jack would choose the same fate if he could, the poor sod, but he was cursed into immortality by Gwen's template, Rose-bloody-Tyler, so he has to suffer, forever. Just look at that face. You can clearly seen the terrible pain on it.

Don't you think it makes Rhys's and Anwen's life more exciting, wondering when Gwen/Mum's going to "I didn't *mean* to" do them in? It adds a little spice to the boredom of life *on the beach* in the *Brecon Beacons*! (Guess RTD's geography is as plotholey as his stories.)

Did anyone happen to see the Gwenites all flock to explain that that is exactly the right size for a fifteen month old baby?
Honestly, I think the Gwenites actually make me sicker than Gwen......
From:

I do have to say that a number of other people all sensibly queried the size of the child and said no way was the size correct, and a 15 month old (which is the very youngest it could be, pushing all the parameters) is a toddler- I speak from bitter experience when I tell you that not only are most 15 month olds crawling, but an awful lot are walking very adequately, quite well enough to open the front door and wander off down the road....... ARGH, can you imagine?
Anyhoo, no way would said 15 month old allow itself to be wrapped in a blanket and carried - it was enough of a fight to get it into a buggy!
But, then, how can we expect RTD to bother himself with such silly little things like continuity and plotlines when he has to be so Awesum??

This is a picture of my cousin. She is an average sized child, and this photograph was taken when she SIXTEEN MONTHS OLD. I am roughly the same height as Kai Owen (he's maybe an inch at max taller than me), and my mother (holding my cousin) is maybe two inches shorter than me, so she's not actually that much smaller than Kai Owen is (in order to suss out proportions between Kai and the 'baby' he is holding.)I blurred the faces because this is an open forum, but its just the sizes me need.
The 'child' that Kai is holding is a baby - a fifteen month old is well on the way to being a toddler. Aside from the fact that clearly that child is far too small for the age it is supposed to be, let's look at some more issues. Not only would it be impossible to carry a fifteen month old the way he is carrying it, it would also be impossible to be able to put it in an all in one and wrap it in a blanket without knocking said child out with powerful sedatives. Most kids that age will thrash and scream if you put them in a buggy, let alone do what they're doing.
Okay, rant over, I'm done now. *goes off to watch some more Supernatural*

you got that right
Because really there no defending this!
A 15 month old is 30" about 30-40LBS (65cm/2.5 stone)
this infant looks to be 17-19" about 25lbs (40-45cm 1.7 stone)
