And for her next trick......

[jae-bee.livejournal.com]

 Well, with Bazooka Coopa's new found skills with heavy artillery suddenly appearing from nowhere, what else is there in store for the legend that is Gwen?

Promotion to Director General of the CIA?
Commanding a nuclear sub and missiles, therein?
Saving the world with the toddler baby under one arm and Jack, unconscious, strapped to her back?

Is anything beyond Gwen?

What do you think the future holds for our hero?

Please let it be a quick and permanent death PLEASE!!!!

She'll singlehandedly usher in an united world government, create a new monetary system and make those who are her followers take a mark on their hand of forehead, and create a new religion with her as God...

Yes...Gwen Cooper is the Antichrist!

LMFAOROTFPIMP ..and yes, cleaning the soda off the monitor

you are of course correct here...other tell tale signs are: She she rises from the head of a dragon, (Cardiff?) she's a whore, (cheats on Rhys) she moves to the New Babalon (Los Angeles?) and the dead come back to life (starting with the peadophile)

OMG, you're right she IS the antichrist!! That explains a lot, actually.

(I was gonna say she probably gets a metal of valor from the President of the US himself).

Well, the second one is a pretty standard in-universe trope by now, no worries there.
But I've got serious apprehensions regarding that third one.

Oh Gawd, this image woke me the hell up!

[honey-felidae.livejournal.com]

Me too D:

BTW, is there something wrong with her baby? I saw a pic and the (prop) kid is *tiny*--wouldn't Anwen be around 2 years old?

[honey-felidae.livejournal.com]

It should be! OMG I forgott it, I erased CoE out of my mind. But you are right! She was pregnet then...and now is Baby there...maybe Gwen is an elephant, they carry baby for two years...so it is freshly born. Anyother way I don't know, just that she miscarry first baby and this is second baby. :( But thats to crass and Holy Mother Gwen can't miscarry

[ceindreadh.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it was actually a phantom pregnancy all along the first time round. And Gwen just got really really fat in the six months before the COE final scene. So then she figured she could save money on maternity wear, so she got pregnant then.

As for baby sizes, one of my nephews was born with heart problems and was below average size for several years, but even at 15 months old he was bigger than the prop in the picture.

Being pedantic here, I think our *hero*'s future is more death, live burial, nightmares, hideous, horrible, horrible things happening to him.

Our lovely *heroine*, on the other hand...[BRB. Have to find a bucket to blech into...::makes Mr. Yuck face::] shall become Empress of the Universe and All She Surveys; the Beating Heart of Humanity (screw the aliens); and Bestest Wifey and Mumsy Evah. People are falling all over themselves to flee her presence in horror hear her words of wisdom and bask in the comfort of her nearness.

Just ask her. Or Rusty. He may hire airplanes to pull banners emblazoned with that information all over the world. (Wouldn't do to actually *show* that in the series, would it?)

[irishjantogirl.livejournal.com]

i think i know whats going to happen to her next...
*cocks gun*
wish me luck...

Methink you are correct in your first assumption, seriously.
We’ll see probably that Very Important People actually listen to Gwen because she is positioned as That Important Woman is Torchwood. In other words – just because, without any explanation, without mentioning that no, previous experience didn’t help Gwen to be ready and handle world-wide crisis single-handedly, at once understand what’s going on and know what to do. But still, I suppose if Gwen ever will be in position to talk to CIA Head or somebody similar, they probably would listen to her – just because, as I said.
And that’s quite frustrating, to know that she doesn’t deserve such regard in the slightest.
It would be funny if Gwen really will do something useful, find the Big scientific Solution, talk somebody out of using deadly device etc. And I can totally see RTD making her do so.
And considering Jack’ fate, I agree with you and stlscape.
I’d say – RTD should let Jack go from that nightmare and enjoy his beloved Gwenwood.

What really worries me, is how they'll handle death in this story, because honestly, I cannot see this being a virus or someshits, I swear to god, if they use the magical viruscard I'd explode. I thought they were not going to use any alien or weird stuff anymore, because it was a serious politic thriller, yeah...so how is the great Gwennypoo going to beat death.

My guess is that Jack is going to get the blame for this.

[wounded-melody.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they'll "borrow" the reason behind it from one of the many sources they are "borrowing" the storyline from.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

What? This kind of shit has been done before? Seriously, I thought this one time it was original, because how would anyone else get such an utterly stupid idea?

And no, zombie movies don't count, because zombies are, you know, dead. Just walking around, pestering people.

Like Gwen, who ought to have died multiple times during Series One and Two, due to her utter stupidity. Which makes her very similar to her creator, eh?

[wounded-melody.livejournal.com]

There are several novels about no more death, Supernatural did an episode about it, even Family Guy had an episode with the same storyline! Plus several movies come close with the same theme, (not sure if any movies with the whole population not dying though). And none of them to my knowledge involve zombies (except Reanimator: 4[? I think it's 4] which revolves a lot about making prisoners unable to die, which reminds me of Oswald).

[stlscape.livejournal.com]

(not sure if any movies with the whole population not dying though)

The earliest I've personally watched was a 1930s version of Death Takes A Holiday, so putting "nobody dies" on the screen *isn't* a brilliant new concept.

[wounded-melody.livejournal.com]

And RTD and company will deny having read/watched any of the sources named.

[irishjantogirl.livejournal.com]

didn't they already use Death-By-Poision-Alien-Virus in the series that shall not be named? look how well that went

"And no, zombie movies don't count, because zombies are, you know, dead. Just walking around, pestering people. "
What, you mean like Owen???

Terry Pratchett handled this with his normal aplomb in "Reaper Man" and has used this idea a number of other times.
But, then, RTD is unlikely to have read TP as he is funny, clever, talented and, mostly, original. When he does "borrow" ideas it is openly, and obvious where they have come from. After all, Sci Fi /Fantasy all occupies the same universe, so ideas should be able to move from one book/movie to another. If you have talent you can pull this off, whilst avoiding plagiarism accusations by openly admitting the usage of "recycled" ideas.
Where RTD really falls down is when he digs his heels in and screams that it was all his idea and all completely original!

And to get back to Gwennypoo-don't care, and it does not really, in the long run, matter, as the whole nasty conglomeration will sink in the morass of "poor ratings" and disappear without a trace!

Baring in mind her track record and general level of competence... Probably all of them. *JOKE*
