torchwood panel in 160 characters or less

[fictional]

I'm kinda lj spamming today, for which my apologies. However! I kinda wish I were in Atlanta right now. Still. Next best thing to being there is this little liveblog from dragon*con via text message. If you've been reading I Had No Idea I Had Been Traveling, we feel even more justified now! Thanks, Gareth. ;-) I'm sure Rach will post about this in detail later, and then y'all can hear about g.d.l.'s favorite line (eye candy!), the fact that his ass hurts, and other such tidbits. Till then, I give you:



rach: i am going to hell.
kali: pourquoi?
rach: at panel. lots of info and blushing.
kali: awesome. take notes for me. remember, think mauve.
rach: i am!
rach: lots of Ianto backstory next series and relationship development with jack he says
kali: well we will be jossed but that will be awesome. how are they gonna fit all that in five eps? hopefully the writers wont fuck it up.
rach: gdl blushes at everything
rach: this is getting so raunchy!
rach: some insane girl just asked him out during the q & a in a really tacky way. also his favorite episode to film was adam because of the strangulation.
kali: ha! i knew it! did he say yes to the date? ;-)
rach: he was gracious but clearly and rightfully freaked out. but he did just kiss a girl and thanked her for thanking him for playing a bi character so movingly.
kali: *cries*
rach: now the topic has moved on to felching
kali: is he for or against?
rach: for. talking about booze for a while. now he says that if jack broke ianto's heart, it might be the last straw for him, and implies potential suicide.
kali: oh! gdl is a emo!ianto fan, is he? i guess we already knew that.
rach: yup. also long story will explain later that led him to saying people better not post online that he's barrowman's bitch now.
kali: too late, gareth honey, too late.
rach: also says adam latched onto something that was already in ianto
kali: and us, for the win!
rach: wait til you hear the lead up
rach: and he's a nin fan. and is obsessing on trent now.
rach: also hilarious slutty tosh story
rach: and now annoyance with gwack
rach: recharging phone, will call with details.

I don't know though. When you get the genre ghetto, I think there are actors who resent it, never having been geeks themselves, and thus don't really get into the story as much as they could. It's one of the reasons I appreciate Torchwood & Doctor Who (and Firefly); you can tell the actors AND the writers are all fans. It's one of the reasons I like Tennant better than Eccleston; I think the love really shows.

Well, i did say 'sometimes'

Well, i did say sometimes Having lived in Alberta* almost all my life, I must now wrap my head around the concept that there are actors who don't know they're geeks....
Agree that it makes a difference, and that the difference shows.



*W.O. Mitchell, play write and story writer, lived for 24 years in High River. Alberta, quite near here, and very near where I grew up. Despite his fame across the country, locals used to point him out with the words "That's old man Mitchell. He doesn't do anything!"
