meet-cute between two guards who were both knocked out and stashed in a vent by a masked assassin

oh, what, so he can get his ass kicked when he inevitably gets raised from the dead?? you want to make great grandpa into a loser? a chump?? if his corpse is going to be puppeteered into battle by a sick and twisted sorcerer then by the nine he is going to do it well

Very stupid that I can't take the muscles out of my neck & upper back & beat them with a meat tenderizer. I think that would fix me

"everyone is paying super close attention to everyone else all the time" actualy statistical error. hypervigilance georg, who enters fight or flight when someone starts breathing differently, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

#this one's for the people who hear 'people aren't paying that close attention to you! I mean do YOU pay that close of attention to them?'#and go: unfortunately yeah!!!!!!!#you are georg hope this helps. love u#hang in there one day u will be able to pay less attention all the time

Happy Easter.

i do think it's so interesting that essentially ianto dies bc Jack tries to pull a the doctor style move (going up to confront the alien bad guys face to face and grandstand about how humanity won't bow down to them and basically play "are you willing to take us on" chicken without actually having a plan for what to do if the alien bad guys just go "fuck you" and hit the kill everyone button) and because he's a character within the show he doesn't understand that the reason this always works out for the doctor is. fundamentally. because doctor who is a lighthearted family show for the whole family. and bc that means for the doctor there will always either be some kind of deus ex machina to save the day (or at least the main characters) or the show just won't have the alien bad guys go fine have it your way and gas everyone in the building. And that actually there's nothing keeping him and his loved ones safe bc they are missing the one crucial thing the doctor has which is the protection of the 9pm watershed. anyway i think genre blindness is awesome as a trope so i'm having a lot of what can from a certain point of view be called fun here
