Due to some canceled plans tonight, I was able to watch the end of Torchwood: Children of Earth tonight.

I didn't cry as much tonight, but the stuff that involved hurting or terrorizing kids all made me feel sick to my stomach and angry as hell. Had to do the whole, "It's just TV: CHILL," thing. Oy vey. I'm getting towards the mom-years, for certain.

On a more pleasant note: the ending of the episode seems like the perfect opportunity for fanfic. Somehow, Jack hooks up with the Doctor again after he leaves Earth. There is all kinds of pain and comforting and healing and hot sex. Of course, I always envision this with Nine, not Ten, which means it would have to be an alternate universe fic or something.

Eh. Nonlinear time means you can have your fanfic with the incarnation of your choice. Especially with Gallifrey gone, there's no real reason you can't have characters meeting in a different sequence in their personal narratives; heck, they made that actual canon with River Song. You'd have to explain why it didn't come up again when #10 meets Jack again in "Utopia", but fanfic allows many answers to that.

Me, I gave up on the show making sense when Jack apparently suffered no ill effects from being buried alive for 2000 years. Season 3 was very good, though, and made up for a lot of what had gone before.

Those fanfics already exist, of course. 3.05 hadn't been posted for even five hours when the first several dozen fics were posted, undoing all the bad. There's at least one LJ community devoted to nothing but fics somehow denying or undoing what season 3 did. :-)

Heh. I don't necessarily want to undo it, I just want it to be an excuse for hot, dramatic sex. :)
