Oh my god, Ianto keeps a secret diary with a lock on the cover. This is the best thing to ever happen ever.

Other bestest things ever: the Gwen/Rhys post-amnesia kissing, the Jack/crazy!Ianto cuddling.

Not so great: everybody getting brain-raped, especially Ianto and Tosh (hi! Serious noncon, show! Way to acknowledge it as noncon, though).

Inadvertently great: I start laughing like a goon every time Jack Harkness emotes. I do not know why.

You know what, though? I thought this episode was amazing. I can be as cynical as I want about the Retcon Communion, but I thought that scene - Jack showing how he values and loves every member of his team - was really, really moving. And the end, where Jack holds the orange sand and lets it fall through his fingers?

I liked that.

Man, Jack was an unattractive teenager. That does not necessarily fit with my view of him, but it can be countenanced.

I'm not sure if I'm going to proceed directly to 2x06, because it looks awfully spattery, and I just managed to eat a full meal with vegetable and sweet for the first time in two weeks. I do not want to jeopardize my fragile equilibrium. Is it worth it, flist?
