TW S3: "Day One" Episode Review
Thoughts on Day One:
Reactions to odd moments; may not be chronological:
1) Wasn’t there a Season 1 episode with the same name?
2) Aargh! I missed the whole flashback at the beginning. Despite all the insane promos, I completely forgot we were on BBC1 now.

Report of the Whistle-Stop Road Trip
Las Vegas: Awesome. I don't care what anyone says, when you work in a tiny village in the north of England, Las Vegas is exciting. We stayed at Caesars Palace, and it was fab. I lost a grand total of $5 playing the slots - last of the big spenders, me. Had some great meals, including some particularly good breakfasts, although despite living two ( Read more... ) -
Fic: Unthinkable?
Everyone’s gone, now. It’s quiet, so quiet. The Doctor faces the empty Tardis and only wishes it were for the first time.
Sarah Jane was right. He might be lonely, but he’s not alone. When it counts - when it really counts - he can call on some of the best, most brilliant people in the world. Today, if nothing else, has taught him that. But what of ( Read more... ) -
Ficlet Four
Jack rushed forwards through the underground tunnel where he’d been hunting Weevils, trying to find his way out of the maze. He fought the small inner voice that urged him to panic.
He knew Ianto had made it out. It had just been the two of them; an evening together under the pretence of Weevil hunting had turned into actual Weevil hunting when ( Read more... ) -
Ficlet Three
It’s a rare and magical occasion, a seemingly impossible confluence of a sunny Cardiff and an almost suspiciously quiet Rift. The amazement had affected Jack so profoundly that he’d given the entire team the day off. Owen, Gwen and Toshiko had wondered, briefly, if their boss was feeling all right, but understandably hadn’t hung around long enough ( Read more... ) -
Ficlet Two
The next time the Doctor had arrived in Cardiff, Jack hadn’t disappeared without so much as a backward glance, and he hadn’t wanted to. Martha Jones had arrived at Torchwood once more, insisting that the Doctor needed Jack’s help.
Gwen had been a little quiet, almost withdrawn, since the Flat Holm incident, so he left Torchwood in the tenuous ( Read more... ) -
Ficlet One
When he sleeps, Jack sleeps so deeply that for many minutes after waking he’s certain of very little. One thing that is certain is that he sleeps more, far more, now that he’s not alone in the narrow bed.
The first thing he’s aware of is the quiet. Not silence, exactly, but quiet enough for the lack of sound to be noticeable even in a half-asleep ( Read more... ) -
Mythical Simplicity (Epilogue)
An Epilogue, Or Is It A Bridge?
If anyone had peered through the dusty window, they would have seen two men lying, unconscious, on the rough stone floor. They would have seen the taller man with the unruly brown hair sit up, slowly, touching his arms and his face, as though it had been a while since he’d felt them. Then they would have seen him ( Read more... ) -
Fic: Mythical Simplicity (Chapter 6)
Author's Note: This one hurt, people. This one hurt.
Chapter Six
Harry made a light salad for dinner, sensing that John would probably not be up to eating much. When John finally came downstairs, he’d changed into some lighter clothes, and some of the haunted look had left his eyes, although he was still pale.
“Did you find everything you needed?” ( Read more... )
