omorkaI have just realized that in my personal fanon, NOVA Labs (from Short Circuit) must be where Fargo did his college internship. Eureka and NOVA are both in Oregon, too. Some of the same language is even used for Johnny 5 and Callister. Crossover crack!fic plot-bunny away!

quantumduck (partly because Emo!Ianto Is My Woobie 4Evah!), I have to say I was truly impressed with the last Torchwod ep we watched, "Random Shoes." Not only did it have interesting storytelling and real and empathizable characters, now only did it suggest that Gwen may well have some psychic sensitivities of her own, not only did John Barrowman get to do some major eye-acting when he was giving the now-physically-manifest dead guy the "oh, right, you get to die, come back to save the life of someone you love, and then move on, just rub it in why don't you" look, but the show did the impossible: it managed to make "Danny Boy" actually moving and emotionally appropriate instead of ridiculously mawkish. I didn't know that trick was possible!
