Well ... a 'promotional image' of TW has surfaced, over on SFX (I haven't read the interview because it's with RTD, and I'll probably just get angry).






So ... erm ... yeah?


WHUT DA FECK?



Composition with only two subjects has to be of the same 'status', otherwise the picture leans. See how the skyscrapers they tried to balance it out with LEAN because the right side of the image is taken up by SMALL Jack since there isn't enough room for him next to DOMINANT Gwen. Maybe the skyscraper will fall on him and bury him for a billion years so that he can't interfere with Gwenwood.

Why did I promise myself I'd watch the first few episodes of this? I hope to GOD some kind of MIRACLE happens and something DECENT is produced, because I won't be able to get those hours of my life back.




EDIT: At least I got my new series of 'Animals at Work', and I have to say there's far more interesting drama in chicken-guarding alpacas than in RTD's left horn!

Torchwood series 4 Announced


According to the quote in the article, it's going to be 'bigger and bolder than ever' (what? again? Bigger and bolder than ever ... again? FFS! 'bigger and bolder' doesn't exactly translate well. Look at Jurassic Park II and the TRex in San Diego! May have been bigger ... certainly wasn't 'better'.)

Thankfully not an American reboot (thank Christ they dropped that idea), but it will be a ten episode, three-way production between BBC Cyrmu, BBC Worldwide and American network Starz with RTD, Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter in charge. Instead of being based in Cardiff, it's going to be all over the place in 'international locations'.

Just what the Torchwood fans wanted. Definitely. Without a doubt. I mean, one of the things we LOVED about CoE was that it wasn't in Cardiff, right?


Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why can't they just FUCKING. STAY. IN. CARDIFF? And WTF? Gwen's still in Torchwood? Does she lose her baby somehow? Surely Gwen isn't so irresponsible (okay - she's had her moments, but when it comes to kids, parents generally have some form of clarity) as to continue work for Torchwood with a dependent child? I mean ... it's not like she KNOWS RTD will NEVER EVER kill her ....

Maybe she'll just be wandering around in the background like Donna did in the End of Time, with no discernible or real reason for being there other than LOOK AT THE POPULAR ACTRESS! LOOK! WE DIDN'T FORGET HER AFTER WE BALLSED UP HER STORYLINE!

And JACK - sending Jack off-planet at the end of CoE always confused me. Cuz ... there was no way they weren't gonna bring him back. What a waste of my screen time.


JACK: I'm going. I can't ever return here. This planet is a graveyard to me.

[an appropriate amount of plot happens (though probably not very much, really)]

JACK: IMMA BACK, AND IT'S GONNA BE BIGGA AND BETTA THAN EVARRRRR!




Maybe series four will be Jack taking Rhys, Gwen and Baby around all the places he visited on his six months travelling after torturing his grandson to death.


Despite my instantly negative reaction, I will have to give it a go. There is the teeniest, tiniest smidgen of chance that it might actually be worth the time and effort. My biggest drawbacks are a) WTF NOT IN CARDIFF? WHY WHY WHY??? WHAT ABOUT THE RIFT?

REMEMBER THE RIFT???????

and b) RTD is writing again. Could he at least have a beta this time? Please? Maybe a continuation whiteboard to go with his new, shiny, US office?

Cuz ... srsly ... USA can keep him.



EDIT: As iantogodeo pointed out, there's no mention of Kai Owen or Tom Price. Maybe Rhys and Andy ran away together with Gwen's baby, and that's why it's vaguely sane for Gwen to still be with Torchwood. Rhys + Andy= Rhandy. CSI: Cardiff could still happen.

I started doodling, and the doodles grew into this (and I have plans for expansion):

Warning for RTD bashing! XD


Much love,

Ianto Jones, because he deserved someone who was actually worth his time, unlike that crappy!Jack we saw in series 3. Y'know ... the one that was totally different in every single sense of the phrase 'different' from anything we've seen in previous series. The one also known as 'bastard!Jack'.

Ianto was sweet and lovely, passionate and mysterious. He was funny without trying, witty and intelligent and the calm, well-dressed gentleman all men and women wish they had.

He was also rather fit. Even when he turned blue (which was just insulting; everyone knows red was his colour!).

I'm not usually one for mixing up punctuation at the end of sentences to 'increase emphasis on the point', but I shall make this one exception:


WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??? HOW COULD RUSSELL T. DAVIES DO THAT TO THE POOR LITTLE LAMB???!!!!



SaveIantoJones.com is the last chance.

Save him, my padawans, minions and angry mobsters! Save him before Gwenwood comes and we're all bored to death!

Helloooooo


Sorry there was nothing but stony silence in this journal last night - my internet went properly mental and wouldn't let me do ANYTHING! *hyperventilates*

Anyhoo ... it's back online now, so I've decided to share a couple of icons I made during this difficult, non-internet filled time:

I'm already working on some stuff to post later, and hopefully I'll be back on top of everything soon-ish :)



REMEMBER: Comment [or at least] Credit if you take.

Okay, so a couple of people like my icons, so I've decided to share them with everyone. Take 'em, use 'em, stick 'em in the National Gallery ... as long as you credit me. :)

Just some fun I've been having with PhotoFunia. (It makes your photos ... funnier ... haha oh the linguistic pun!)





( MASSIVELY SPOILERY ... then again ... if you haven't heard the spoilers yet ... where HAVE you been? )
