My Theory, By Which I Mean My Hope
Sep. 9th, 2011 08:24 pmI've refrained, for the most part, from posting my Miracle Day speculations (mostly because I have NO IDEA what's going on half the time). But I've been sitting on this scene (that won't happen surely!) for months now, since they first started filming, really. And I remember when I first got into fandom, looking back and seeing all of the wild COE-speculation that never came true. And it was interesting and exciting and in case everyone dies tonight, I wanted to post this so that in the future, some unsuspecting new Torchwood fan might stumble upon this and think, "I wish I was in fandom then. Oh, if only this poor soul knew what was in store when she posted it."
I've taken it directly from a comment I just left![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eldarwannabe and edited it a little, because it's relatively fully formed and really, I'm too lazy for words. So. Enjoy my ridiculous ideas.
( I doubt this counts as spoilers! )

A Lot of Jack, A Bit of Time.
Aug. 24th, 2011 05:43 pmThere isn’t much to connect these points, other than that they were things I thought of before falling asleep last night (oh, the bedtime stories we tell ourselves!). They are all Jack, and they all relate, somewhat, to time.
There are spoilers up through 4.07 in here, too.
( Musings here. Beware. )

I still don't know where I am on the spectrum of Torchwood-love right now.

She gave me a list of prompts from which to choose and I went with MD Related: A scene where Jack tells one of the MD newbies about Ianto. Preferably Rex....maybe starting out as an angry conversation? It got away from me a bit. Because that’s how I roll. I hope it works for you, hun, and thanks for your donation!

Thank You and MD Reaction Post
Aug. 6th, 2011 12:15 pmI just wanted to thank those of you who've donated so far to help the children of East Africa who are suffering from the drought. Your help is greatly appreciated by so many people.

Many Things.
Jul. 30th, 2011 07:43 pmLAS. What is going on with it? I have a story. I have edited this story to within an inch of its life. I have submitted the story. I have not heard back.
I know that the mod has been having rough times and was going to delay the due date, but I haven't heard anything since that (no new due dates, no other updates, etc.) Has anyone heard anything about this? I just...I don't wanna get kicked out because I'm dumb?

Boys and Sex and Saria Is Clearly Broken
Jul. 22nd, 2011 08:53 pmOkay, full disclosure. Just because it's bothering me.
I agree that both John Barrowman and Gareth David-Lloyd are attractive. There are even moments when I am attracted to them. But generally, they do nothing for me. At all. My appreciation of their symmetrical features is purely abstract, the way one may remark upon a nicely structured house, or a pretty piece of shoreline, or the organized alignment of books on a shelf. "Ah," I think. "Yes, I realize that this is aesthetically pleasing." Beyond that, they don't do much for me, not really.
I am not attracted to them, but I am attracted to their characters' relationship. The adversity, the passion, the unexpectedness of it all. The idea of love and affection and trust growing out of betrayal like Athena springing from Zeus's forehead (perhaps not an apt metaphor). The romance of a completely unromantic, bare bones relationship that refuses to be defined because it doesn't need to be. I don't want to be with them, I want to be them, in the midst of all of that, with each other.

This probably makes absolutely no sense. But I'm getting to a point, here.
Of course I will watch tonight's episode, and I'm excited for it, but I don't really care about the sex scene and I'm really not interested in seeing either of these people nude. I'm not against it, even if it is gratuitous, but I do hope that it serves to either further plot or flesh out backstory. Otherwise...I just don't care much.
Admitting this makes me feel like a broken human. Sorry I'm broken.
Also, it is 100 degrees, and humid. I am planning a permanent move to Antarctica.
Screen Caps!
Jul. 11th, 2011 07:49 pmHave some random MD Screen Caps I did. Some of them are totally bizarre. And/or gory. But mostly bizarre. Spoilers and grossgusting things ahead! (Also, not really sure why I was feeling French, or the need to title, but I did. So...yeah.)

I Wonder...
Jul. 9th, 2011 05:21 pmHey all!
I wanted to know your thoughts on Miracle Day. Well, on what's behind it, actually. Cracky and zany are acceptable, even if they don't fit with "canon" (what has happened in the past, or hints of what's to come). They can even be logical, too (*gasp!*), although I bet you $773,976,761.97 that your logical hypotheses will be jossed. ;)
( C'est possible, non? )

Random MD Thought - No Spoilers
Jul. 9th, 2011 06:39 amI know it doesn't make sense with what we've been told, but wouldn't it be awesome if Rhys was behind the whole "Nobody Dies" bit?
