Sep. 1st, 2007 11:11 pmAunt's birthday cake finished, albeit a minimalist, done-a-hundred-times version. But there's chocolate and almonds, it's really quite delicious & I wasn't up to facing new recipes and the resulting catastrophes today.
And while the cake was baking & cooling I watched the last three episodes of Doctor Who, and even though I'd occasionally felt just the tiniest bit blah-ish about the season until Human Nature/The Family Of Blood, by the end I was in deep fanish love again. More about that (maybe) when it isn't past midnight and I have enough active brain-cells at my disposal not to have a typo in every other word and write a simple sentence in under ten minutes without endless corrections & deletions.
I'm a bit depressed on Jack's behalf at the moment, though. Sure, it gives his character perspective and depth, I guess, but, damn - I wouldn't wish that on anyone. That's really kind of tragic and horrible. I can't even imagine.
Not to mention that it makes all my concerns and essay-ish posts about the Jack/Ianto relationship just a bit pointless, because, perspective, perspective, perspective. Vast perspective. Just when part of my brain was cheering that Jack had a year's worth of time hanging around chained up and being tortured finding out that maybe he missedIanto his team, suddenly it turns out that by the end in all probability he won't even remember that there ever was someone like Ianto Jones or Torchwood...
