First impressions: TW - Something Borrowed

I kinda liked the episode. So sue me LOL



The tailor conversation in Jack's office? So bloody fantastic -- might explain why Ianto would claim that there had to be something wrong with the measuring tape previously -- if he's got that good an eye for measurements *g* -- and just the fact that they're browsing a catalogue on wedding dresses? So cracks me up.

Was I the only one giggling at the gun assembly in the back of the car? It was a bit like Men in Black on steroids XD

Jack to Rhys, along with a smirk and a flirt:" That whole undead thing looks pretty good on you, Rhys"

Once again we get Ianto Jones, problem solver extraordinaire. First he goes shopping for a wedding dress -- and can I just say how much I love the quirky expression of his, when the sales man goes "yes, we have a lot of men shopping wedding dresses for their ...friends." Then, because the wanker of a DJ -- he WAS a wanker, come on, goes and gets himself eaten, so in the background, Ianto's taken over the turn tables XD -- nearly missed that one. And god, all the cheesy 80s music *giggles*

Chasing scum by day and come night, we're the wedding fairies XD - Ianto, I do adore you so very much. It's such a warped version of fairytales of putting people to sleep with fairy dust. Really, we fanfic writers can't come up with more cracky ideas than the writers on the show -- which is fine by me, I love the insanity of the show *g*

I was both annoyed and amused at Tosh still pining for Owen, though. I kinda liked that he did ask her to dance in the end, you know, once all the stressful stuff was over and done with. Oh, and the shape shifter not wanting anything to do with him because he was 'off'? *grins* that was pretty hilarious, as was watching JB decked out in false teeth and huge veins. It really, really cracked me up. This you don't even get in b-rated horror movies. Like I said, love the cracktastic writing.

As a TW episode: It was good, cracky writing, insane alien chases and overnight pregnancies. *thumbs up*

As a Jack/Ianto episode: Duh! Heh, the scenes between them, the conversation about measuring, the guilty looks when Owen walks in on them, the wedding dress catalogue, the dancing and seemingly, Jack letting go of some of his past, at least that's how I see his reminiscing moment with the photos. Another piece to the puzzle. Jack Harkness actually did get married at one point. Also amused me that Jack pouts about Ianto siding more with Owen after Owen's died and Ianto's tongue in cheek reply.

So, overall, I enjoyed the episode and will probably rewatch it for details later.

Heheh. It was a pretty crazy episode, that's for sure. BTW, Owen with a colour-coordinated yellow corsage pinned to his tee shirt cracked me up.

Jack to Rhys, along with a smirk and a flirt:" That whole undead thing looks pretty good on you, Rhys"

I heard it as "Evil Dead", the movie with Bruce Campbell and the chainsaw.

You're right, it IS Evil Dead *giggles* I should've drunk my morning caffeine before watching the ep *g*

Heh, i missed the corsage on the first viewing *cracks up*

I agree with everything you said but...

on second watch, I started to get under all the superficial stuff they gave us and actually began to see what Berty was saw about the Jack/Ianto relationship. Jack is in love with Gwen, and Ianto is just someone he shags. It was the dance at the end. I dunno, I just got very heavy vibes from it. Jack didnt look with love at Ianto when he cut in. It was more indulgance. Jack did not seemed connected when they danced. He appeared wrapped up in his own thoughts, and I doubt any of them involved Ianto. :-(

Or maybe Im just tired and need more sleep! Early night tonight I think. LOL

Yeah I got the same vibe from the Jack/Ianto dance.

And now I am uber-curious about the wedding photo.

Nope, that's what caused most of my ranty post. I got that vibe too; that Jack isn't in love with Ianto but Ianto does love Jack and Jack loves Gwen. Or at the very least he loves her more than Ianto and that is not only not fair, it's not right :o(

I could have forgiven them if the wistfulness was about his previous marriage, but the impression given was that it was all about losing Gwen and she was only marrying Rhys because she couldn't marry Jack. She said as much to the shapeshifter and that isn't fair on Rhys.

My opinion of them both is sinking fast and in Gwen's case it wasn't that hot to start with.

Sorry I didnt answer you right away. Lj is stealing my notifs and holding them hostage!!!

I hate the fact that Gwen is marrying Rhys becuase she needs stability! That is SO unfair on him. He's a sweet guy and he loves her to bits. Shame she doesnt feel the same way. I am growing to really dislike her.

And poor Ianto. I need some happy ever after fic! I feel really bumbed by that scene! And I dont want to be bumbed

I see it slightly different, but i get what you mean as well. We'll just have to watch and see what they come up with

I really liked the episode as well, was alot of crack ^^ and was so sweet when Owen asked Tosh to dance and Jack/Ianto dancing was totally cute ^^ and it was oddly satisfying to see Rhys punch Jack, not because I don't like Jack to death, but he kinda had it coming ;D and pouty Jack is always great :D

Heh, yeah, I did like the episode and we're not really supposed to unconditionally love the characters -- they're human and bound to have some quirks that will annoy the crap out of us.
