Caption/Fic/Analysis Time!

[sariagray]

 

Let's talk about this promotional shot, shall we? I found it while I was looking for pictures with which to make icons. I've seen it before but never paid much attention. It struck me as silly at first, but now that I'm analyzing it...well.

First of all, no one is looking in the exact same location. I guess this is good, since the threat can come from anywhere. But it all seems as if they see something.

Gwen and Ianto are both sort of looking in Jack's direction. They also look like they're about to begin a race. Ianto is winning. 

Everyone is leaning forward except Owen. Huh. 

Now, to start us off, my captions.

 

Gwen: Hey Ianto! First one to Jack wins!
Ianto: What do we win?
Gwen: Well, Jack. Duh.
Jack: Okay, on your marks, get set, go! *Shoots pistol*
Tosh: Jack! Couldn't you have dropped a handkerchief instead?! It echoes in here!
Gwen: Ianto cheated!
Owen: Did I leave the incinerator on?



And that is the end of my insanity. Feel free to contribute. *Snort* And if anyone wants to write a fic about this picture, PLEASE DO! I will love you forever, because it makes me laugh oh so very much.

*giggles hysterically* Gwen also looks very silly in this.... her posture is all wrong. i think they took individual photos and mashed them all together.

I know. She looks like a Flying Nun. And I think so, too!

Yep. This still amuses me!

I'm not good at captions, although I think Jack looks like he should be saying "Bond, James Bond"! (I think GDL would make a good one, don't you think?)

I've always noticed the crazy poses they do for both the Torchwood and Doctor Who promos. Must be a British thing...

Interesting fact: John Barrowman's partner Scott Gill designed that building!

Ooh, interesting. What building is it?

To be honest, the name of it slipped my mind! I learned this on todd_loves_mc's journal. She and JB have Twittered back and forth a few times and he sent her a Tweet about Scott's better known designs (including the structure in that photo).

I'm not that good, either! lol

And I just played the James Bond theme while looking at the picture. I have to say, I wholeheartedly concur. And YES to GDL Bond.

The poses are very crazy. I need to find more, because (apparently) they amuse me so much.

Yay for interesting fact!

*Dryly* Of course, Naoko and Eve are posed to show most cleavage...
I find all their poses (except Jack's) rather silly. Though the idea of Gwen and Ianto being in a race for Jack is funny. :)
I think my favourite Torchwood promotional photos are those of Suzie (I loved her. She was the first character I liked when I watched the show. Then she had to be evil and died. :(( ).

Of course they are. It's Torchwood; they may have to SLEEP with the alien, rather than, you know, kill or capture it.

I really think they were trying to do something with the composition of this picture. I really do. Did it work the way they intended? Probably not.

I loved Suzie, too. I've seen Indira Varma on Rome and Bones, and I was so excited. And then...she died. Poor thing.
