Okay, so Jack's officially a prick. Boy, Jack, I sure hope that Owen's being a fully sentient and intelligent zombie and grieving for his lost life and struggling to adapt to the fact that his entire existence has turned upside down and OH YEAH he didn't ASK to be brought back - I really hope none of that is INCONVENIENCING you at all.
At least Tosh gets it. And Ianto gets it. Hell, Myfynwy (hope to god I spelled that right, I am not so much fluent in Welsh) freaking gets it. That's right, Jack! The effing pterodactyl has outstripped your emotional intelligence!
This episode was so weird because one minute my heart was absolutely breaking for Owen, and then the next I couldn't stop giggling at the ridiculous music and Arty! cinematography. I loved it. I just wish Jack wasn't an asshole. And I wish the writers could be trusted to depict the grief process in a manner other than offscreen (hi, Ianto, glad you've dealt with the Lisa thing, wish you'd gotten some screentime while you did it), because Owen grieving for himself would be fascinating to watch. But I guess the - whatever the fuck the sparkly pink thing was fixed it. It's cool. I really do love this show, but I don't expect much from it other than a good time. Torchwood: It's crap, but it's fun crap!
Next week: Torchwood mistakes itself for Supernatural again. Shapeshifters! Something tells me that they don't keep much of a silver bullet supply at the Hub. They should get on that. Send Ianto, maybe on the way he can find a boyfriend who's not a jerk.
I need a Torchwood icon. But more importantly, I need to sleep.
