Oh, Torchwood. Why do you suck me in every time?
Okay, WHAT. WHAT are they trying to say with Jack's Injury of Ominous Doom? Since when the fuck does he not get hurt? Immortality, yes. Super healing, not so much. Was the idea supposed to be that he was not healing at all, not even at the rate a person should be healing anyway? Because I could get behind that. But the presentation of it (complete, if you remember, with Jack gaping hilariously at his bruises in the mirror) was really confusing and seemed to imply that Jack expected to be recovering with Wolverine speed, and THAT IS NOT A THING.
Although it is entirely possible that he just thinks it is because he dies so damn often that his body never gets a chance to heal normally. That would be pretty funny.
Not funny: BEHEADED BURNT-OUT HUSK GUY JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. That stomps on so many of my HNNNNNNG DO NOT WANT buttons, I cannot even. As a reminder of the fact that Jack is a goddamn asshole it was pretty tasty, because you know he knew that shit was not going to work and he just wanted it confirmed as a formality, and of that I approve because characterization, but hrrrrrrrk I had to cover my eyes because I was so viscerally grossed out. I'm gonna go make more unspellable noises for a while. God, that's gonna stay with me for a while.
But the worst part is that that's probably going to be the last episode I see for a little while. Next week I'll be at my grandmother's looking after her cat while she recovers from shoulder surgery (the grandmother, not the cat), and while Grandma has cable she does not have internet, and I don't know if she has Starz but I'm not banking on it. And round about then is when my internet is going to get cut off anyway, because I am unemployed and broke and ISPs get cranky when you don't pay your bills. Hopefully it won't be out for too terribly long, and I'll still be able to take my laptop places and use internet there, but downloading episodes is probably going to be out of the question. But hey, marathoning everything I missed will be fun and exciting, right?
