an essay about children of earth.

[captaincy]

I have been meaning to do this for ages.

Jack Harkness as the Anti-Hero. A 3000-word essay on Jack's morality, Children of Earth, how its events changed him, and what that has meant for his characterization and interactions in Camp.

... Man, Jack should DEFINITELY hang out with America. :( maybe the perpetual optimism will rub off on him, or something.

That, or he'll think America is insane/stupid, both of which can be arguably true SOMETIMES.

[captaincy]

fuck yeah America! he has given up on Britain.

[missesfuckingme]

AS YOU SHOULD. England sucks.

... wait, wrong account

[missesfuckingme]

God, Kousaka and I watched Children of Earth when she visited.

And I never forgave her for it.

I ACTUALLY LOVE IT A LOT. "anti-hero" is my ten year app pattern, and nihilistic anything gets me going. plus GDL, Ianto's actor, said yesterday at D*con that S4 is on the table and people don't have to stay dead, so I'm a lot more zen about THE FUUUTURE OF MY SHOOOOWWWW now.

that said. yeah. goddamn, Torchwood. goddman.

[jerkchester]

NO I LOVED IT TOO EVERY BIT.

But when we watched it, we were like SHELL-SHOCKED

And after that, I was like "WE ARE NOT WATCHING ANYTHING DEPRESSING EVER"

[captaincy]

yeah it is pretty horrible. i marathonned it the weekend after it aired and basically keymashed in chan for five hours straight. the four gunshots in the last ep left me reeling.
