Torchwood

So, what I want to know is....

Where is the bloody SUV?

(Yeah, there were other things, but that plot point bugs me for some reason)

Oh and that's not including all the fun they have selling the stuff out of it on eBay or dodgy car boot sales (I think you call them garage sales).

Or the kid who finds a big grey 'bird' eating the fish out of their pond and asks mummy if they can keep it...

I *really* wish the SUV storyline hadn't happened. It's just... lame. Have Ianto drive his own car and have it stolen and have the SUV get destroyed in the bombing. Was it necessary to have Ianto look dumb, Torchwood look unprepared and have this dangling plot thread?

Myfanwy has to be okay. I can't believe otherwise.

Myfanwy will be fine - she can fly after all - and the bomb went off while it was still dark and she would have been out on the 'rounds' of her territory. I can imagine her being most dischuffed at the mess of the Hub...

That's what I assume too, but it would have been nice to get an official acknowledgement of it

I think they were trying to set up exactly how rough the area where Johnny and Rhiannon were living was. That makes scenes such as the kids rocking the car with the surveillance team or the local adults attacking armed police more plausible. After that things moved too fast for them to worry about a car.

I thought of that- that they were trying to show us that it was a 'bad' neighborhood. But, it could have been Ianto's own car that got stolen, not the TW SUV. It just didn't make sense that there wouldn't be extra precautions against theft on the SUV, not after John stole it in Fragments.

I still want to see Myfanwy somehow find Benton. He seemed rather interested in dinosaurs when they invaded London, so he'd appreciate a pterodactyl, I'm sure!

Couldn't resist at least a drabble. (And is that icon gankable with credit? Pteroooodactyls.)

hee thanks for the link :D

Ah now the icon that should be an easy question shouldn't it? Only it's from an image [livejournal.com profile] rustydog drew and I iconed and, right this moment, I can't remember if it's one we said was public or not...

I'll have to go and look if I've posted it somewhere.

But I will get back to you on that.

Okay I've cleared it with Rusty (I hope you can cope with crediting both of us if you decide you want one :D)

You can find the original of that icon and a slighty different one of Myfanwy here (http://itsarift-thing.livejournal.com/47360.html) there's also a link to her Myfanwy based fic there, if you are interested.
