Norton Folgate is such a fantastically written character because he perfectly encapsulates the exact type of man I would like to hit with a really big stick irl.
torchwood 1.01 :: everything changes “contraceptives in the rain. love this planet.”
- who the hell orders pizza under the name of ‘torchwood’? - uh, yeah, that would be me. sorry, i’m a twat.
so i was rewatching GBG
and oh my god
all this time, all these jokes about Jack’s head being “no thoughts head empty” when Tosh can’t read him with the pendant
plus that bullshit explanation of him being “dead”
and the much more reasonable explanation that he’s been trained to resist mind reading as a Time Agent
all that … memeification we’ve done around that weird writing choice.
no one (including me there!) has rewatched the entire ep in a long time, have we.
he literally communicates with Tosh using the pendant (= his thoughts) while she is a hostage
he can do it
it’s in the episode
he even makes that odd face when she tries the pendant on him earlier, like he can feel the intrusion - and he says so in the end!!
but somehow the fact that he was capable of transmitting his thoughts was spontaneously forgotten by everyone including Tosh. unbelievable XD
NEW WHO Rewatch: THE CHRISTMAS INVASION
I don’t suppose we’ve had a Code Nine? No sign of the Doctor? Nothing yet. You’ve met him, haven’t you? More like the stuff of legend. He is that.
actually while people are talking about doctor who did anybody else watch torchwood? bc that shit was MESSY messy. everyone there kinda hated each other for very justified reasons, except they'd also commit atrocities so it was like ????? girl what is ur moral compass at this point
they were also all bisexual whores who couldnt keep it in their pants for longer than 5 seconds and it's like. the only respectable thing about them
not a single bitch in that place who wasnt fucked up and coping atrociously. two of them were immortal at some point and it did nothing but make them Worse. and they were doing this as an official government sanctioned agency
