I've already shared most of my thoughts with a friend, but basically this wasn't really the story for me. I couldn't properly get into it and I felt lost a lot of the time. However, I loved recognising a few of the places in Cardiff that were mentioned, and it had a few very strong Ianto moments, including:
Gwen smiled, nudged his arm. ‘Oh come on, smile. Lisa, Jack… being bisexual is hardly a crime. Best of both worlds, isn’t it?’
And Ianto pushed her away. ‘No, Gwen. No, really it’s bloody not. It’s the worst of any world because you don’t really belong anywhere, because you are never sure of yourself or those around you. You can’t trust in anyone, their motives or their intentions. And because of that, you have, in a world that likes its nice shiny labels, no true identity. For Torchwood’s “Little Miss Sensitive”, you don’t half talk crap sometimes. So do me a favour and shut up about it, all right?’
This is following an in-depth discussion of ABBA, which I also appreciate.
