Tonight on TORCHCRACK. Part Drei

[51stcenturyfox]

That's Part THREE.

Much awesomeness. And some mondo freakiness.




Criminal Gwen and team.:  "I know all the tricks."  Damn, it  feels good to be a GWENSTA.  (Someone needs to make this video. I can pay you in some sort of baked goods.)

They could have raised some money by babysitting or whatever instead of lifting laptops and jacking convertibles. TEN QUID A KID.

Jack in a t-shirt and sweatpants. It's never been so easy to COSPLAY JACK. Just saying.

La la la. Rhys is happily making beans while Jack and Ianto are urging him to LEAVE so they can have a SHAG. LOLZ.

Jack's daughter, Jack Jr. Alice reminds me of Nigella Lawson.  Nigella Lawson with a gun and a big, pointy scimitar in her trousers. (Alright, it was a knife. But I love that word. Scimitar.)

Kids are pointing to LONDON.  Damn place is an alien magnet.  

Clem has that scent-induced babble tic again.  Why didn't he whiff Jack in the warehouse before he showed up?  CHILL, CLEM. TEA AND A HOT DOG.

...and Ianto apparently smells gay to sniffly Clem.  Which. What? 

The alien.  BARFS ICHOR.  Projectile-vomiting alien. I'm willing to bet it has lobster-claws and warts and drools.

Frobisher:  Yo, 456 what do you want?  Cats? Babies to snack on?  Oh, what? 10% of the kids? Um. Okay?  Like who decides which 10%?  Be good, children. The 456 takes the naughty ones.

What do they do with the kids?  I'm really curious.

The 456 sounded a bit like Dennis Haysbert (the Allstate pitchman) to me, slowed down:

Gwen apparently hates emoticon smileys!  Askworld FUCKING JOSSED.  First Ianto gets headaches from ice cream and now this. We're verfklempt.

:o(

Redeemed by the Italian Jack-wife, though.  Ha.

I quite liked the idea of Clement smelling Ianto was 'other' as Clement appears to have a synesthesia type condition. He smelt Gwen was pregnant, he can smell the aliens, and when he was a child he could smell Jack was different too.

Yep, which would suggest there's a chemical difference based on orientation. But.

Ianto was with Lisa too. Isn't he BI? Does Clem not have a Kinsey Scale of scents?

"Oh. It's him! You gave the children away! Oh, and by the way, Captain Harkniess, you smell omnisexual! Also, you had curry for lunch." :D

I'm pretty sure Clem will not have a Kinsey Scale of scents *g*

And that 'queer', to a bloke like Clem, covers gay, bi, omni and everything else that is not mainstream heterosexual.

which would suggest there's a chemical difference based on orientation
And why not, when there are differences at a genetic level.

Though, synesthetically speaking, there's no 'chemical' reason in the 'idea' of a number that would explain why one person with synesthesia would see a 7 as a fluffy pink cloud and another person would see it as a yellow sun.

Sinesthesia - true.

Although I know like, nothing about this, I'm agreeing with you. :D

I wonder if he was like this prior to the incident as a child or it was an aftereffect? It seems he ran away from the 456, so he must have sensed what was up back then.

*squeaks* I am convinced pre-existing condition.

Clem could smell Jack.

As an adullt he refers to the smell of 'the man' a definite man - like it would be if his 10 or 11 year old self had no other way to define Jack as something not quite right.

Synesthesia is something most people - including me - know very little about.
