So I didn't get to go to NY Comicon. Luckily for me, and the rest of us who weren't able to make it, our live correspondent was on the ground, ready to report back in 160 chars. Or less.

Warning: Some spoilers, and also spoiler-y speculation for Series 3 abounds.


Rach: ready for Eve Myles in 160 chars or less?
Kali: ready and waiting.
Rach: new promo poster is hot and so ot3!
Kali: is it crowded?
Rach: freakishly. some who!people who still don't know what tw is. almost no cosplay but two dudes dressed like indiana jones and one shitty jack coat.
Kali: and yours, which practically has a personality of its own.
Rach: oh yeah and a girl dressed like leeloo
Rach: yeah. coat not with me today. too warm. am actually glad. lots of old creepy guys here for the eve is hot factor. also about a zillion degrees in here.
Kali: leeloo... ??
Rach: leeloo from the fifth element.
Rach: and here we go. moderator talking. getting ready to introduce people. talking about other bbc shows.
Rach: no firm date for s3. audience boos.
Kali: crap
Rach: long preview vid. eve choked up in it talking about rhys. seemed grim.
Rach: she cut her hair into a bob and looks all sleek and hot
Rach: she's freaked by the mic. didn't want to get too close to it.
Rach: going on about how awed she is by nyc enthusiasm for show. yeah, i think rhys is doomed. also in vid, gdl is still wearing that stupid necklace. maybe it's a collar. [Editor's Note: Opinions on necklace, which has the sweetest origin story ever vary. See comments in linked thread!]
Kali: noooooooo! don't kill rhys! we love rhys!
Rach: euros lyn says it's all about developing relationships this season.
Rach: talks about how the past affects the future.
Kali: mmmm....shoutout? lol.
Rach: myles talks about getting hurt on set.
Rach: owen and tosh as constant reminder that life is short and you have to protect what's rightfully yours. rawr.
Kali: i want them back! damn it. also, *hearts*
Rach: talking about bad behavior on set that gets more insane the darker show gets. myles says barrowman farts a lot.
Kali: Must be a scots thing. I bet he misses dt
Rach: no weevils in this series. they are sunning it up in barbados. myles says it is weird to have tea with weevils on set.
Kali: lol
Rach: no martha or mickey either.
Rach: lots of civil servants in over their heads with very grey loyalties.
Kali: mmmm.... outside the government! awesome.
Rach: myles assures us show is cheeky and sexy and then goes on about how beautiful barrowman is. this is the series when we see why they are heroes.
Kali: we haven't seen that before????
Rach: asked whether gwen kisses anyone but rhys. she won't answer, but giggles a lot. jb's website guy asks myles about the first time she met jb, and she says she can't.
Rach: she finally says they met on a photoshoot, and she was hoping he'd show up in something tight. and then she goes on about how great he is.
Rach: dude asks if master will be back on doctor who, and if he will be american, and can he have the role. so annoying.
Kali: he wants to be eric roberts! how sad.
Rach: her mouth is hanging open at the crazy. invites to drinks. she says ny'ers are cheeky monkeys.
Kali: awwww.
Rach: talks about shock and randomness of getting tw gig and her horrible hairstyle on doctor who. tw-ny group showed up with gifts.
Rach: dude asks if there is anyone jack won't kiss in this series. also asked about set pranks. myles has boundaries and doesn't get into it. says the beeb would freak if she told about the pranks.
Kali: hahaha. unlike the boys. i like her.
Rach: guys offered to be eaten by monsters for work.
Kali: how 'bout just the eaten by monsters part?
Rach: myles cried the first time she saw hub set.
Kali: okay, i really, really like her.
Rach: says jack kisses an amalgam of things this season including tables and chairs.
Kali: heh. that sentient kitchen sink plan is getting more and more likely.
Rach: myles thinks the blowfish is cute and says she has a relationship with the weevil.
Kali: ... er. i don't know what to say to that.
Rach: question about a black doctor. euros lyn says not to speculate while we've got a new guy ready to start. myles is a buffy fan. freaked out when she had to kiss james marsters.
Kali: i think i'm in love!
Rach: complicated dirty joke about action figures.
Rach: myles gets asked about best kisser. doesn't want to answer, someone shouts rhys, and she runs with that.
Rach: another long question starting with the doctor dances. wonders if torchwood might ever be optimistic. myles says the show has a lot of black humour and says the show can't really get more tragic after last series.
Rach: euros lyn says 99 to 1 about deaths in new series but won't say which way the odds split. more talk about doctor who/torchwood crossovers but no actual information.
Kali: crap.
Rach: question about when myles had to kiss the sex alien girl. she praises the lack of stubble and then talks about professionalism and says the girl was hot anyway.
Kali: and gdl's girlfriend at the time!
Rach: she said once you get something like that out of the way you think about how you can do it better.
Rach: question about neil gaiman rumour.
Rach: talks about capt. john as possibility for series 4. same old.
Kali: meh. want new things!
Rach: stuff about rhys and how torchwood can't be so secret anymore. says there's lots of funny drama between jack and rhys this season.
Rach: finally an ianto question. wait... no. question is about pc andy! she says oh yeah he gets his recognition in this series. goes on about how critical he is to this series. So yeah. no ianto.
Kali: sniff! why no ianto? grrr.
Rach: she says she is getting so many hot ideas when someone asks if ianto and gwen will kiss. also says that when doing radio play, she and jb were locked in a room together for four days. innuendo ensues.
Kali: lol. shoutout part deux!
Rach: she is sweet to nervous questioner. someone asks if jack is older than the doctor now. lyn explains how jack serves to show there are fates worse than death.
Kali: they keep saying that. i think killing all his friends is a crappy way to handle it, personally. stick him in a meat grinder. permanently. that'd do the trick.
Rach: some guy says he probably speaks for every man when he says he'd turn gay for jack.
Kali: heh.
Rach: lyn says we're going to learn about some terrible sins in jack's past. myles talks about merlin and prosthetics.
Kali: more sins??? jeez.
Rach: so girl questioner goes on about how hot eve is. myles is really blushing and into it.
Kali: i'm getting a terrible crush on her and it's over text message.
Rach: lyn gets question about directing. then myles gets asked about gwen's cheating. she defends gwen because the circs were so weird and crazy for her.
Kali: yay! *hearts*
Rach: all about torchwood is set in the real world, torchwood can really happen. doctor who is more in another world.
Kali: hahahahahah. sorry, i think i just laughed up my spleen there.
Rach: the end.

*hugs to rach and kali* Y'all are awesome for putting up the is account for us!!! You ARE LOVED!

BTW: My step-dad who was born and grew up here in Texas (and is a big ole cowboy who used to ride the rodeo) watches TW with me...last season about half way through "Sleeper" he takes a swig of his beer, sets it down on the end table next to his chair and announces, "Ya' know what? I think I'm a little gay for that Cap'n Jack fella." LOL! I swear to god!

No problem! We have a fun time. *grins*

LOL. That is hilarious. I was on Sci Fi wire the other day, and there were numerous postings to the same effect. I think it needs to be a bumper sticker, or an icon or something. "I'm a straight, American male, and I'm gay for Captain Jack!"

AND YES, please, Capt. John in S4. yes yes yes.

also in vid, gdl is still wearing that stupid necklace. maybe it's a collar.

Alas, it's not a collar. Just a garden variety necklace given to him (by, er, us, actually) at Northampton in October after he gave his usual one away to a young fan.

Next time we'll try giving him a collar, though. Yum.

Thanks for the updates. I worry for Rhys. Also, Eve is really lovely. I am looking forward to listening to her again in march.

Oh no! lol. I actually don't even know the necklace to which she's referring but I am quintessentially unobservant. And I never actually get to see these things, only through text message. So er, can't really weigh in. But sorry!

Oh god. My rudeness has spawned a monster. Well the story is very, sncerely sweet, even if my aesthetic sense is fussy and formal and the whole thing is sort of surfer-y (now there's an AU) and incomprehensible to me. My apoligies for any offense.

Yeah, Eve Myles is making me like Gwen better! It's kinda hilarious.

I know, I sorta want to start a "Don't Kill Rhys" petition. But Rusty, man. He would totally do it. *lives in fear*

From: [identity profile] kittiword.livejournal.com
But.. I thought one of the actors have said that Rhys becomes more integral with the Torchwood team in S3?? Although that does not mean Rusty would use a typical cliche and kill him at end of the series after saving say.. Gwen or Jack.
and will stop thinking about that right now. I agree with your petition idea!

Thanks guys for typing up the convo. Eve Myles sounds adorable and excitable :-)

Thanks for posting this. As someone who lives in the middle of nowhere and will likely never get to actually go to a con, it's always nice to hear news about what's going on.

And I'd definately sign the 'Don't Kill Rhys' petition.

Hell yeah. Daniel & I are rewatching series 1 right now, and I am realizing afresh how much I like Rhys. (And D. is bonding with him over being Torchwood widows! I so don't want him to die).

lol. I never go to cons either, I just get them via text message. *g*

These live bloggy things you do are so great. "says there's lots of funny drama between jack and rhys this season."

Squee! I think I love Jack and Rhys butting heads more than almost anything about Torchwood! And when Rhys wields his celtic charm on Jack, it's beautiful. I've been afraid that Rhys might be marked for doom this season...damn.

Does that mean series 4 is a possibility? Yes, this is something I worry about... there's so little I'm fannish about these days!

About being fannish: I've got Whoniverse, and Merlin... and Supernatural, which I adore, but am not in the fandom of, really. Which is interesting!

long preview vid. eve choked up in it talking about rhys. seemed grim.

Oh noes. Oh noes, oh noes.

Right. Cosplaying furniture at D*C, then.

myles gets asked about best kisser. doesn't want to answer, someone shouts rhys, and she runs with that.

Life imitates art just a bit there.

I was actually thinking that moment in "Out of Time" when Gwen is talking about waiting to have sex, and the whole joke how Rhys might not be as good in bed as everyone else, etc.

Amused. So amused.
