Whoever thought it would be a cool idea to hand code their custom CSS instead of using the million and one pretty, already created layouts out there clearly needs to be shoot in the head. Especially if they don't, you know, know anything about CSS.

I swear, I was up till six in the morning trying to figure out what all their little parameters mean. This reminds me that I will never, ever change my layout again.

But at least I have Gareth's pretty face! And finally, no more Fight Club theme! I am Jack no more!

Speaking of Gareth a.k.a. Ianto a.k.a. the only thing I talk about: I continue being contrary to the rest of my flist and actually liked "From Out of the Rain". Oh show, I don't require much from you besides seeing Ianto's face every five seconds and not making me want to slap half the main characters!


So let's admit up front, the "plot" was shall we say: bad. Like made no sense. Who are the night traverlers? Circus people who only perform at night and come 'out of the rain' to steal people's last breathes. And that is seriously all we know of them.

But we do know that film, it replaced the traveling show! We are told this a lot. A LOT. I think there was suppose to be a metaphor in there somewhere about how everything's ephemeral and soon there will be nothing left of their team but memories and pictures and Jack will be sad sad sad. At least I am guessing. Or the writer just has a thing for traveling shows?

And I'm also very seriously entertaining the possibility the Jack and Ianto very recently had a massive sex marathon so that now, even thinking p0rny thoughts make them chafe uncomfortably. How else will you explain the total lack of eye-fucking and general flirting going on while they go around alone together. OMG IT ALMOST REMINDED ME OF JACK AND GWEN'S INTERACTIONS BUT EVEN MORE DRIED OUT WTF SHOW??

But here's what made me enjoy it nonetheless:

• Ianto Jones! Every five seconds!
  
• Ianto Jones wet!
  
• Ianto Jones running!
  
• Ianto Jones' high girly emo voice! Resurrected from Cyberwoman. (Oh Gareth, I love how your voice goes up an octave to in the worst "I can do emotional, no really!" voice ever. &hearts It makes me laugh everytime!)
  
• Ianto Jones as the new Gwen! If only because it brought the return of emo!Ianto. (see above) Seriously though, Iants please less Gary Stu in future with your "I could only save one!" and your one perfect tear at the boy the who live, kthxbye.
  
• Ianto Jones' cinema lust!
  
• Ianto Jones' history lust! (Hi, I was almost a History major. Let's do lunch!)
  
• Oh and Gwen's little "So that's what they're calling it now" made me laugh out loud. Because OH SO OBVIOUS and because I was thinking it too. :D
  

Oh show, even your outrageous badness cannot deter the love even when I had to bring in an industrial jet engine because no amount of handwaving can ever blow away your plot holes. Oh Gareth, sorry your episode kind of sucked a lot, but at least you got to show more of your "secret depths of anguish and darkness" (tm torchwoodcoffee and adopted by Mr. Lloyd). Even if for no particular reason than because nothing else made sense so why should the character's reactions.

I'd leave you with Gareth's pretty face, but he was pretty a lot last night and I actually kind of hate screencapping. BUT TRUST ME IT WAS PRETTY!


ETA: I take it back! I can totally do Gareth's pretty face because this amused me so much! (Sorry, was too lazy to do a timed screencap, but you should totally see this live!)



Look! Ianto! With flowers! (I say they are totally from Jack from after the wedding! :D)
