Autopsy time!
Girl mystic?
So there's some kind of magical dangerous doohicky.
Ah, the glove again. Nothing good can come of this.
A different glove. Huh?
This is a whole orgasmic thing.
Alive without the glove.
And the glove has a life of its own!
So Owen's going back and forth. Interesting!
Ooh, possessed Owen. Doubly ungood.
Pesky Weevils again. Whatever.
Dude, that was gross.
Jack dated Proust. Okay then.
So Owen is now like king of the Weevils.
Are we seriously going to act on something that she's googled? Hee.
When Gloves Attack: Tonight at 11.
Hey, maybe Thing is inside the glove. ;D
Love Gwen bullshitting to the nurse/tech/doctor at the hospital about how the team knows Gwen.
So Owen's living on borrowed time, like Sheridan from Babylon 5.
And damn, the recording cut off. I hope that was close to the end.

Eeep. Dead!Owen autopsy.
Jack's got other ideas?
OK, what is this place. Oooh! Classic. Creepy little girl.
Built the church on top of what? And, yeah, of course he's gonna do whatever hair-brained thing is probably not a good idea to do.
Whoa! It's like, lair of the Weevils. Are they sleping in the church like. . . . homeless people? Or because they want/watch the thing he wants? Dollies! Huh. So, is this a "typical" Weevil nest or something?
Glowy. Grab and run.
Whoa. Using the glove, bringing Owen back. So, this was the other glove in the pair?
Oh, crap. Yeah, I'd not be too well please if I were Owen either. "Gwen, no offense, but I've only got 2 minutes to live."
"You brought me back for that?" Oy, indeed.
Oh, poor Owen! Poor Tosh. Aaaaaaand, of course, it all goes wonky.
Here we go again, indeed. Well, if it's Jack keeping him alive, then at least he can't make Jack die. But, I think it's the creepy glove itself keeping him alive. Or . . . was it Jack that made the glove different?
"Owen. I don't need to tell you you're under quarrentine." "You don't, and yet you still do." ;D
Gwen and Rhys. Oh, so nicely sadly done. "Tough day, tough day."
"I wouldn't flirt with me in my condition either, but is it still necrophilia if I'm conscious."
Gonna be like Jack and not tell them about death? Or . . . is he messing with her. Yup. Messing with her. Nothing. Or nothing that she could remember.
Whoa. Oh, he fell into that darkness that Suzie talked about. But did he only do that because he talked about her telling them about it?

What is Owen turning into?
I'm not dying, I'm dead.
That's not love, that's grief. Hmmmm. But, she does love you, and she's tried to tell you before. And he sort of knows that, and that's partly why he's cutting her off, me thinks.
Well, that and all the freaky shit that's happening to him.
Oh, dear. Owen's become something or someone else? Or a conduit for something else?
Owen's not dangerous. Hmmmmm. Sure? And he hasn't been telling Unit about stuff, which is like "duh", 'cuz Torchwood doesn't share well.
Stop thinking of him as Owen. But what bits of Owen are still there? And Jack, as usual, is all "I will save everyone, damn it!"
No blood. Well, that's definitely not something to make Owen think unlife is worth unliving.
Damn. Nice fight with Jack. Lots of reveal about what each of them think. And now Owen's hauled off and . . . and the Weevils are following him? So, is the glove some kind of Weevil special thing?

Well, getting arrested does give them an opportunity to chat. Don't break an ankle. You're dead, what are the chances that it can knit back together. Heeeee! He's successfully grossed Jack out. Dated Proust, he was really immature. And now, they get to chat. Owen wants more life, Jack has a different perpective. Jack didn't bring him back out of guilt, but because, he just didn't want to give up on him. Of course Jack could have gotten them out of there at any time. And meanwhile, back at the hub, the team see Owen's transformation. And somehow, I don't think the Weevils are after you because of the glove, Jack. I think they want Owen. Oh, nice shot! With them running from the Weevils and another batch running up the ramp level below them and all. Whoa. Black-eyed alien Owen is, like, the leader of the Weevils or something!

Translation all about a hunger that knows no bounds. Yeah. I have a bad feeling about it too. Not to mention a bad feeling anytime someone has to say "it's never done that before" about a piece of their wacky alien tech. King of the Weevils. Weevil messiah. Urk. Grim reaper, death himself. Yeah, I'm dead, not death himself. Or . . . Black death time, legend of priest how brought a little girl back and she brought death with her. "Are we seriously going to act on something she's googled?!" Heeeee! Ooooh. Same church, same town. Back then, it needed a certain number of deaths. Something on the "other side" that wants to come thru using him. Even if we have to fight you, you're already dead. Oh, interesting. Owen suggests they embalm him. Which is both icky and interesting. I can't sleep, I can't drink, and I can't shag. They are three of my favorite things. Hugging Gwen. I do not want to be like this. I'm ready.

A last good bye stroll thru the hub? Oh, nice camera shot! With Owen's hand on the rail, right by but not touching Ianto's. Jack and Martha will do it. Because Martha is the doctor, and Jack is the responsible guy. Oooh! Glove has something to say about this! Doesn't want them to stop Owen, perhaps? Eeep! Flying glove and Lockdown! Heeeee! Hand on it's back, all flaily like a turtle or a bug. And then, flip over. Hey, someone should write shippy fic about the Glove and Mummy hand from BtVS. Heeee! This is creepy and funny at the same time. They're all watching it scuttle around, trying to smack it like a cockroach or something. Eep! Jump on Martha's face! And is it sucking the life out of her or something? Fight! Owen steps on it and then bang bang! Whoa. It aged Martha. And now Owen is fully whatevered. Eeep! Black smoky thing, coming out of Owen to become . . . what? WTF?! ?! Jack comes to inside car? They're rushing Martha to the hospital. Owen is looking horrible and Martha is maybe dying and Jack doesn't know what the hell is going on. Hmmmm. Durock (sp?) - death. Targeting a hospital. Is Owen just falling apart, or is it still sort of in him? Eeeep! Watching all the monitors go flat, watching them all die, one by one as it heads toward you . . . . Oh! I bet Jack was one of the deaths it needed! It killed him and that's why he was in the car. Dead and then came back again. So, if it needs a certain number, he could just volunteer to be the 13 or so it needs, all in a row, and then it could stop and he'd be alive again. Which, I know, is still horrible for him, but he's done it so very many times now and I know he'd be willing to sacrifice himself like that.

Heh. Keeps getting redirected to Weight Watchers.
Owen senses it and we get lots of creepy wandering around in hospital stuff.
Run, kid! Run!
Owen and Tosh = 1, Death = 12!
Kid thinks he might as well die.
Owen gives a rather good anti-death pep talk. Watch me beat death. Because he's like the little girl, he's already dead, so he can end it, like she did.
Big old classic good bye kiss thing, and "you're gonna hate me for this" Tosh, because he's gonna be all noble.
"There's nobody here but us dead men."
"What else have you got? What else do you do?"
He shoots, he scores! Owen = 1, Death = 0!
And is that why Martha comes back? Because she was only half dead because of the death thing, and then when it was vanquished, all that half deadness went away?
Crap!!! Recording cut out again!! Since I have it grabbing all eps, I think it has difficulty hanging on to the "go extra minutes" command.
Well, I'll have to set up the second showing with a longer time.

Autopsy time! Girl mystic? So there's some kind of magical dangerous doohicky. Ah, the glove again. Nothing good can come of this. And yet, they can't seem to stay away from it, can they? Very orgasmic. And the staging helped there, as well. I'm now totally shipping Death Glove/Mummy Hand. Before, I used to think that Thing was the perfect match for Mummy Hand, but now that I see it would have more in common with Death Glove. I think they share a darker world view. Very gross. When Jack thinks it's icky? Then it's really really icky. She's really rather good at it, isn't she? And I love that she's more ready with a story than the folks who've been TW longer. ;D Mine did too. I have to find a way to get the DVD to grab every ep, but also to add a few minutes to every ep . . .

Yes!! Excellent summary. ;D But, really, I liked these comments: And yes yes to all the examples you gave, Owen and Jack in the jail, and Owen and Gwen, and Owen and Tosh, and the Jack mirror. Loved this phrase: . Is super wonderful. ;D Also? Zombie sex, lack of blood thing? Totally just needs some creativity applied! And Jack, for one example, is nothing if not creative.

Heh. Last week, chest bursters. This week, face huggers. ;D I loved. Two stellar episodes back-to-back. The show has redeemed itself. So...you bring back the dead, they come back different. And things come back with them. And there are always consequences. Well, they do steal from the best. Seriously, though, it's a moral dilemma that every show dealing with the supernatural has to deal with. And I missed the last two minutes. But I've set the DVR to catch the 11:00 airing, plus two minutes.

Oh, and also? How much did I love that Death was a big skeleton who talked in capital letters?

And also? Owen has never had more of an obvious soul than after he was already dead. Huh.

Aaah! This time it's me whose DVR cut off! And I even set it to record a little extra - sigh. It cut off right as Owen was opening his mouth at the end of the last scene. What'd I miss? Thanks in advance.

Heh. Keeps getting redirected to Weight Watchers. That was pretty funny! Ianto also had the funny scene when Martha sat up and scared the bejeesus out of him. The hysterical laughter of one who almost peed himself. Great scenes! Yup, it cut out on me too! I had to take a flight to see the last few seconds of the ep. I was so happy to see Gwen finally (somewhat) acknowledge her relationship with Owen in this ep. The conversation with Rhys ("Tough day, tough day") and hugging Owen before he went to die for realz made me clap my hands like a little girl.
