It's the wee hours and I'm famished and ought to sleep. However, I've just watched Torchwood: Countrycide (1x06) and have to say one thing: bless Torchwood for instant gratification of shipping. Tomorrow, I'm sure, I'll complain about it all, but right now, when I've just forgiven Owen for being a prick, and my Gwen/Owen shipping got sparked, grew to d'aww and then epic proportions and even got consumated all in one episode. I'm pretty happy.
