Torchwood, S1 E1

I finally started watching Torchwood.

The bad thing about being in the Doctor Who fandom for a while before starting this show is I know all the ships already. I'm rooting for Gwen/Rhys and Captain Jack/Ianto and I HAVEN'T EVEN MET THEM YET! I've seen two(?) episodes with Jack.

Throughout the episode I'm going 'Is that Ianto? KISS JACK! DO IT NAO! Oh, sorry Owen' and it is really distracting.

Also, Owen is an ass.

That is all.

Accidental Racism

Ma was complaining about not getting a job and I kinda had to cringe. She and Gramma made a couple jokes about the fact that the guy she spoke to might not even read English. "I know his name sounds Anglo, but you can never be sure."

*headdeskfacepalm*

I so wished I could have told Ma to shut up. I know I aint the best person to let her know, white privilege and all that crap, but at least I am aware of it. Well, Ma might be aware also, but I know for a fact it is hard to change habits. I know I suck at changing privileged habits.

I guess it's cause of Dunbar. I mean, I know slightly what it is to be "other". It was not as bad as non-Anglos in real life, but I have a basic idea that I can extrapolate from. And google. Google is always awesome.

I just wish I could be braver.

DW: 9th episode title

It's apparently Night Terrors. Lame. I mean, the working title was awesome: "What are Little Boys Made of?" It had the epic/creepy feeling of Doctor Who in a single phrase. So much for that awesomeness.

I can probably guess that the title was kinda leading. I mean with a title like "What Are Little Boys Made Of?" it would be obvious that Rory would act a chicken. Oh well.

Bring on September and "Let's Kill Hitler".
