Torchwood & the attack of the plotbunnies

Entry bounced up a few days, so that more people can join the discussion if they want.

First, I wanted to give artemis10002000 this link. It's a discussion on a digitalspy forum titled "Frustration over Jack/Ianto's relationship".

It's a very interesting one, and people say a lot of thing I deeply agree with. Especially considering Gwen's role and the overdue attention she gets from both Jack and the scripwriters. I mean, she's an interesting character, and I like the actress, but the way Gwen throws her weight around as if she were the boss of Torchwood 3, after what, three weeks with the team? Honestly, I find it ridiculous. And I just can't accept that the others, who'd been there for years, would simply take it.

Possible spoilers behind the tag!

And since whenever I'm unhappy with the course a show takes, the plotbunnies have attacked again. I got this weird idea about Ianto leaving Jack and his pet slut after Series 2 and getting sent to 5th Season Atlantis by the British Prime Minister, to represent British interests as Richard Woolsey's personal aide.

There he would make fast friends with Miko (mostly because she'd remind him of Tosh: both nice, underestimated Japanese computer geniuses, desperately in unrequited love with a co-worker)... and I think he and Dr. Beckett (now that we have Carson back) would make the ideal couple.

Not much of a bunny, I know. That's why I hope by God that I'll be able to resist it for quite a time yet. ;))

Ostervorbereitungen

Die Osterferien haben angefangen, und ich habe meinen sehr speziellen Kümmelschinken (mit viel, viel Knofi) bereits gestern Abend gekocht/gebraten - die Nachbarn waren vermutlich nicht sehr begeistert, aber ich rieche ihre Kochkünste ja jeden Tag, so können sie meine einmal im Jahr auch vertragen, oder?

Heute habe ich zum ersten Mal mein Glück mit Osterkonfekt versucht - ihr wißt ja, aus geriebenem Kochschokolade, Mandeln, Dörrobst und Zuckersyrup. Im Moment, das große Opus ruht noch in der Kastenform - ich bin gespannt, ob ich es morgen schaffen werde, das Ding heil rauszubekommen.

Morgen Karfreitag, also ein Spinattart ist auf dem Programm. Außerdem sollte ich eigentlich die Eier färben und schon mal mein Osterbrot mit Rosinen backen. Dann hätte ich am Karsamstag nur noch die experimentelle Orangentorte hinzukriegen. Und die rosa Muffins.

Yeah, aktive Ferien, kreativer Urlaub, was auch immer. Ja, ich weiß, ich sollte mich ausruhen, nach den vier verschiedenen gesundheitlichen Problemen die ich in den letzten Wochen bekriegt habe. Aber es macht mir Spaß, mal was Anderes zu machen.

My apologies, English-speaking friends. I can't talk about cooking and baking in English - well, not really well. For the rest of the world, there might be some Torchwood fic in the not too far future.
