Children of Earth trailer + Post Exit Wounds fic recs

[51stcenturyfox]

Before the trailer was released, I went through my favorite things set after Exit Wounds and re-read them. If you have any faves to share, please pop 'em in the comments? I love stories set in this time period.

Plus, here's the trailer, too. Like you haven't seen it already. Mmm. Mankissin'! It sucked trying to pause the video to take that still because the next shot? Burned guy. Ew.

Thoughts? You know, I really want to mix the footage with the Never Miss A Beat Kaiser Chiefs video.

Jack and Gwen do not approve of that:



Title: Recovery by out_there

Very sad (but with some humor in as well). Realistic.

Lovely, lovely prose.

Less. It was like a split second. And, being a dolt and forgetting you had a shot of it above the video, I had to pause it to make sure it was Ianto...lol

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

It's not... it's Ianto's twin brother, Angawdd.

They're going to have Jonescest and a Harkness sandwich. S3!

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

LOL! That would be...interesting...

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

Oh, good, I wasn't the only one who did that. My train of thought was "Kiss! Wait. That was Ianto, right?". I figured it would be, though. They're good at fan service.

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

LOL. Yeah, I was like "Is that Ianto or do we have a new pretty?!"

It was hard to tell in the actual trailer. I did the exact same thing. Of course, I downloaded it and looked at it frame by frame just for research purposes. And then there's that burned body right after this kiss, that's a shock.

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

"research purposes", eh? ;)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

That IS. It's kind of like HOT! Then... NOT!

Creepy juxtaposition, there.

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

It's Torchwood, there're creepy juxtapositions everywhere...

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Point.

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

...*blinks* is that icon snaggable?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Sure. I made that one. (Didn't make this one, obviously. Wish I had, though.)

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

Because Rhys is made of a thousand kinds of awesome?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

HELL YES.

[wiredblowfish.livejournal.com]

"Creepy juxtaposition, there."

I totally was jarred by that. And almost slightly offended, because there is this sensual man on man kiss, and then this horrifying scream. Almost as if the editor(s) were making a joke about how shocking men kissing is or something.

I don't know, but it really stuck out.

On another note, I really like that they are being pursued by "the state" or whatever. I love that kind of paranoid plot that sci fi does so well.

Not happy that, at least it looks like, there will be little (or no?) Cardiff. Am I right about that? It looks like it may be all in London.

[I sure hope Gwen is wearing that shiny leather jacket somewhere in the 5 episodes;)]

I'm tempted to buy one. I already have the 'do!

My leather jacket is bronze metallic and sort of a Jackie Onassis cropped cut.

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

[wiredblowfish.livejournal.com]

Hot! Bronze! sounds cool. Plus Jackie had all the best fashion.

I love Gwen's hair.

Three favorite things about Gwen:

1. Lips. Pouty, expressive, sexy!
2. Hair. I have always loved bangs. Her hair is good action hair. It is always blowing in the wind, flowing, moving.
3. Thighs--as displayed in Everything Changes when she is trying to stay and awake and write down everything she knows before retcon wipes it out.

I have seen speculation that the burned body is in fact Jack's. What can you tell from the frames?

It looks sort of skinny to be Jack, but... I'm not sure. Could be. Coming back to life?

[alba17.livejournal.com]

I looked at it again and it could be. If you want to see it, it's here (hope this link works): http://i522.photobucket.com/albums/w341/alba8613/S3burned.jpg

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yes.

It could be. That's horrible. Glad I'm having salad and not ribs.

You blew off the whole day

[yesmypet.livejournal.com]

didn't you? What a slacking ho.

Re: You blew off the whole day

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Uhh, just the afternoon, but it was a slow day. And I skipped lunch. But the choice was Macaroni Grill or Macaroni Grill, so... no big loss. Ho.

Re: You blew off the whole day

[wiredblowfish.livejournal.com]

That icon of Capt. Jack in bed makes me go totally queer;)

Re: You blew off the whole day

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

LOL. It probably has that effect on aliens too. "Ew, humanoids? Oh, you you mean HIM? I'd totally hit it with my rubbery sex stalks."

Which reminds me of a fic I read today.

ETA: I can't even type right after reading it.

Ew! Rubbery Sex Stalks;0
