Fantastic Parallel

Over on [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes, someone mentioned how Torchwood is a Wodehouse story gone horribly wrong. If you know the fandom, it's actually quite hilarious.

Link here.

*dies laughing*

I'm a Torchwood fan and a Jeeves and Wooster fan, and always thought that Ianto worked so well because he is a sort of updated Jeeves style character. But never expanded on the idea. That was too funny!!

(*is aware of Torchwood's shortcomings, loves it anyway*)

I know! Then again, if Torchwood is what happens when one of Wodehouse's stories go horribly wrong, things aren't too bad, are they..

Ianto really is a bit like Jeeves' illegitimate Welsh grandchild, isn't he <3

And there's very few shows without any shortcomings. Torchwood's entertaining, there's eyecandy (and not just Ianto), and it's silly enough to work for me.

Well you never know, Jack could have met Jeeves on one of his time-travel jaunts...
