If you could only have one...

Okay fandom, a topic for discussion. I can afford a tiny splurge -- one episode of Torchwood for my iPod. Which one should it be? Or if you don't have a strong opinion on your favourite, help me decide which one I'll enjoy best

Oh, that's tough. Hmmm...if I could have only one, it would be Fragments, I think. I was going to say Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but changed my mind. The backstory is too enjoyable. KKBB has so much entertainment value, though!

[sanginmychains]

Hmm, good argument for both. I think I prefer the character interaction of KKBB, though. Plus a blowfish! Although Fragments might be worth it just to repeatedly play that moment where Jack asks Ianto if he can take the re-location of his shoulder and Ianto gives him that "yes, you nelly" eye roll. I love that.

KKBB is great fun, especially the opening minutes, and the way the team banters is wonderful. I didn't choose it because of it's Jack/Gwen bit. And Fragments has more of Jack/Ianto appeal to me.

Classic Torchwood - Out of Time. I liked the themes here, (yes, I know it's a Torchwood Christmas Carol - I don't care) and there a few really good lines that get thrown out there I keep meaning to resolve into stories.

It's a solid episode. I like how the characters respond to the task of handling the out of time people, and there are several excellent one liners. And there's a reason people keep re-doing A Christmas Carol -- it's a very good platform for storytelling.

Plus angsty Jack, you can't ever go wrong there.

Ooh, maybe Adam. Or Fragments, yeah. I don't personally have access to it, but I'm sure someone on the internet could probably provide you with all the eps in ipod size. I've seen them out there...

[sanginmychains]

I liked Adam. (I'm good at blocking out Barrowman's appalling over-acting and pretending he's doing it well.) Serial killer Ianto is creepy good, and any scene that has Gwen and Rhys in high dudgeon is well worth the re-watching.

Crack fest with Somethind Borrowed. You're going to need a few final lulz by the looks of the trailers, before you enter the angst fest that is CoE.

[sanginmychains]

Ah, I do love crack.

Out of Time.
