Once again no word count because a lot has been shocking this episode. Also, it's freaking Torchwood! How in the world can you keep it betwee 450 and 600 words?!
I finished watching the eighth episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day just a few minutes ago. Talk about some things that made me gasp in shock or in surprise. Also, there were a couple of things that made me start to get tears in my eyes. But first, I think that I am going to start with the things that made me gasp.
First, after that big (as in fat because I don't think it's nice to say fat) guy took Rex (the black guy) to another room, Rex was getting hit and the guy put a gun to Rex's head. I also gasped when the guy set off a bomb in the truck while two women were in there with him. So, they are all dead. Well, actually, they are Category Ones. I also gasped when Oswald Danes hit Jilly (the redheaded lady). I thought that one of them was going to become a Category One, not that I don't mind. But anyway! Jilly had an "intern" (who was actually a CIA agent following her and Danes). Well, let's start with The Family.
Back in the 1920s, when Jack was conscious after getting killed many times, he saw three men make a deal. One was tall, skinny, and black; the second was a big, short, white guy; the third was a tall, skinny, white guy. Well, in the present day, the guy that made an appearance in the fifth episode showed up again. He told Jilly that she was being followed by a CIA agent. Well, the "intern" was in the elevator waiting to go down. The guy took out a gun and shot the agent twice. He is part of The Family. He made a call and told the person on the other end that he had Jilly and that she joined them. Well, the person he was talking to happened to be a CIA agent who was talking to Esther (the blonde lady) about what was going on. So, the lady is part of The Family. Oh! And also, towards the beginning, when the guy was taking Rex to another room and Gwen was going after him and the black woman had a gun pointed at her, Jack kept on getting between Gwen and the gun. I gasped because, well, jack can die. You would think he wouldn't get in the way of a gun while he's mortal. And now the parts that made me get tears in my eyes.
Ianto was mentioned again! Except it was over Shag's, basically, death bed. Yeah. Talk about making me mad but I was still happy that Ianto was mentioned. This is how Jack's one-sided conversation went: "Did you see him? Did you see Ianto? You would've liked him. Or maybe not. You'd've been jealous." As soon as Jack said, "Did you see him?" I knew that Jack was only talking about one man. I knew immediately he was talking about Ianto. As soon as I heard Jack ask that question, I started getting tears in my eyes and I couldn't help but cry out during his conversation. And then, unfortunately, after the conversation about Ianto, Jack had to go and freaking give a quick kiss to Shag. As soon as I saw Jack start to bend over the guy, I was like, "Don't do it, Jack. Are you seriously going to kiss a guy after talking about Ianto?" But, jack just had to go and disobey my order and kiss the guy. I obviously turned away. I wanted to shake some sense into him.
Lastly... Jack was shot! He was getting away with the help of Rex and Esther (Gwen was forcibly put on a plane to go back to the United Kingdom) and he was shot. And obviously I gasped because I wasn't expecting him to get shot! I ended up with a bit of tears in my eyes bcause I kept thinking, "He can't die! He's going to die!" I thought I was seeing him die. And I will admit that part of me was like, "I hope he dies so that he can be with Ianto." And then when they would show Jack lying in the backseat of a truck while Esther is driving, you could see Jack slowly losing consciousness because, obviously, his eyes are slowly closing. When they would show Jack or Esther, part of me was expecting to see gasp himself back to full-life, the way he always does. And poor Esther is begging him to say something. She also says that she doesn't know what to do or where to go.

Torchwood: Miracle Day - Episode 7
No word count here because of the pain I have received in watching the latest episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day.
I finished watching episode 7 of Torchwood: Miracle Day several minutes ago, and for the past several minutes, I have been crying my eyes out. Because I've been thinking about the latest man that Jack slept with (even though it was in 1927).
When I was watching it, when I would see Jack die, I would thank God that Ianto isn't around to see it, let alone hear about it. One of the scenes that Jack dies a lot in (continuously shot and stabbed), I could barely listen. I had to turn my eyes away. I knew that Ianto would be in tears if he saw what Jack was going through. I couldn't put it on mute because I had to know when the people were done killing him over and over again that way I could know when to start paying attention fully.
When Jack and the man (Angelo), whom I am just going to call Shag because I don't think he deserves to be named because he is no Ianto, were talking about a woman they saw across the street and Jack was standing right behind Shag, I kept saying, "Don't do it, Jack. Don't you dare." Well, unfortunately, I didn't get my wish. I also thanked the Lord that Ianto wasn't around to see it. Heck, I'm glad that Ianto wasn't going to be around for another fifty-six years (birth year: 1983) so that he wouldn't have to witness the things that happened to and the things that Jack did. I had to turn away during that scene.
The reason I cried after watching it is because of the things that Jack did that Ianto didn't get or what Ianto had said.
First of all, what Ianto had said when he was still alive. Well, in the third episode of Miracle, that bartender guy told Jack that he liked his coat and that's the only reason Jack was with that guy. Because Ianto always talked about liking Jack's coat. Loving the coat. Even missing his coat. Ianto was the only one to talk about the coat. And that is why Jack was with that bartender. Because he reminded Jack of Ianto.
The second reason I cried, which I cried a ton over as compared to the reason from episode three, is because of Jack and Shag. I think that during the two months or however long Jack was with this guy, he opened up more to him than he's ever done to Ianto, someone he knew for three years. It upsets me that Jack opened up to this guy when he wasn't even asking and Jack was also, basically, confessing his love for him. But with Ianto... In the hour or however long it was before Ianto died, when Ianto was begging Jack to talk to him, Jack just got snippy about it. "I've got a daughter and a grandson who've been taken by Frobisher. I'm going to call him and make a deal. Is that all right with you?" Granted Ianto may have made everyone believe that he had a master tailor for a father rather than someone who probably pushed him to be perfect, but Ianto opened up to Jack. Heck, probably even after episode six of the first season, Ianto opened up to Jack about Lisa. It's sad that Jack didn't even tell Ianto if he loved him while Ianto confessed his love for him before he died. He didn't even tell him that he loved being with him and that he wants to stay with him forever. It's funny that with Shag, Jack's like, "I'm so in love with you. I'll die for you," after two seconds. But after three years with Ianto, Jack's like, "Ehhh, you're okay. You're good for a shag or two. Oh! And thanks for loving me but I'm not going to say that I love you." It upsets me that Jack didn't talk to Ianto about his past: The woman he married, where he lived, his family, work...
God, because of the mood I'm in, I'm listening to Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" because it would be Ianto's point of view. And I just started to bawl with the final "'Cause I can't make you love me-e-e if you do-o-on't."
Anyway, where was I? But yeah. It's upsetting that Jack will open up more to someone that he's known for, say, two months as compared to someone that he's known for three years.
And another thing to go along with that: During the time that Jack was with Shag that we saw, Jack was working alongside him, sleeping with him, opening up to him, and him basically telling Shag that he loved him. But whenever we saw Jack with Ianto, it was only work, kiss, and Naked Hide-and-Seek. Oh, and some sayings like, "If you're not busy later," or whatever. But no. You never saw Jack opening up to Ianto.
And another thing! After Jack was with Shag, Jack sat up and kissed him on the back a few times. It's sad that we didn't get to see that when Jack was with Ianto. It's sadder when I can get that simple, loving act out of a fan fic! It's sad that you see Jack be with someone else (even a few kisses given on the back) but you don't see that with Ianto. You see Jack laying in bed next to someone else but you never saw him lying next to Ianto. Okay! They wouldn't have to have given us any making-love scenes between the both of them but a simple lying-next-to-each-other-after-having-been-together-because-they-love-each-other scene and a simple kissing-on-the-back-when-one-is-sitting-a-little-ahead-of-the-other scene would have just been as romantic and/or beautiful as a making-love scene. Because it's Jack and Ianto! Even the most simplest acts between them are so romantic and beautiful! These acts are so powerful that you can feel the love they have for each other!
The mistakes I see that Jack has made, whether they be from the past before knowing Ianto or the present, are: shagging random people, telling people he loves them after only two months, and not opening up to someone that truly loved him.
It scares me that Ianto was exactly what Owen had called him: Jack's Part-Time Shag.

Latest on Torchwood; Jack & Ianto
A couple of weeks ago, I read the post that the band Gareth David-Lloyd is in and they said something about him coming to the U.S. for a conference that is like Comic Con. Except it is not Comic Con. It is just one that is like Comic Con. Anyway! That threw the idea of Gareth returning to Torchwood out the window.
I've been keeping up with Torchwood: Miracle Day. I will say that it is interesting but it's not like all of the previous seasons of Torchwood. And I'll admit that it's because Ianto isn't there. It's interesting in its own way. But Torchwood is supposed to be dealing with aliens. Not a miracle. Let alone things that do not have to deal with aliens. I'll also admit that Miracle keeps you on the edge of your seat. For me, I am not on the edge of my seat. I think that I'm half-on and half-off. Not fully one way. Not fully the other. The latest thing that scared me is what happened to Gwen when she returned to Los Angeles.
Gwen got a mysterious call at the airport and was told to put in the contact lenses. When she did, whoever was typing said, "We have your mother. We have your husband. We have your daughter." Then Gwen said something like, "What do you want?" The person said, "Bring us Jack." As soon as I saw Jack's name, I couldn't help gasping from shock. Heck, it scared the crap out of Gwen because she backed up against a bathroom stall from the sink.
Also, Ianto hasn't been mentioned since that disastrous third episode. I will admit that episode five, I think, had me thinking about Ianto. When the black guy, who is currently working alongside Torchwood, was being loaded up into an ambulance, Jack said to the two people that he loves him and something about him being his boyfriend. As soon as I heard that, I was in shock. I was like, "Thank the good Lord that Ianto is not here to hear that." I also thought something like, "What? Couldn't Jack have just told them that he was a friend?"
For the past several days, I have been working on more videos. Actually, yesterday I finished a sixth one. On the eleventh, I started making the videos. Unless you want to include gathering songs and lyrics, then I guess I actually started on the tenth. The first one I made was from Jack's point of view. The song was "Somewhere" by Within Temptation. The second video I made was from Ianto's view with "Is This Love" by Whitesnake. The third, Jack's view, was "Nights are Forever (Without You)" by England Dan and John Ford Coley. The fourth, Ianto's view, was "The One I Love" by Oz. The fifth, Jack's view, was "I'd Come for You" by Nickelback. The sixth and final video (so far) was from Ianto's view and had "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt. Which reminds me...
I've decided that I'll stop second-guessing Jack's intentions with Ianto and just believe that Jack truly loved Ianto. Even if Russell T. Davies had not and is not intending for Jack to love Ianto. And I'm also going to believe that Jack didn't sleep with that bartender guy in the third episode of Miracle. So, I guess what I'm thinking is that I'm going to believe that the radio play, "The House of the Dead," is the end of Torchwood thus there not being any Torchwood: Miracle Day.
LONG LIVE JANTO!
