Torchwood
Season 2 Episode 7
Dead Man Walking
My first One! Actually, this is the third one I did, but the first one that was in chronological order...I've kind of morphed from random captioning to more of a recap with zillions of pictures. Because I like pretty pictures. Who doesn't? Of course, now that I'm reposting this after so much time I may have to go back and embellish it...just a little bit. Heh!

We open on a scene of Martha bout to start Owen's autopsy with a giant saw blade. Martha, Martha, I don't think that's how you do it. Jack puts a stop to this procedure though and tells everyone not to do anything until he gets back.

Hey, this psychic parlor is diagonal! What is Jack doing there. He's getting his cards read by Tarot girl.

She tells him where to find what he's looking for, and tries to convince him not to go looking for it, even though she already knows that he's going to do it anyway, because...the cards say so.

This is Jack's 'Don't wake the Weevil's' face. Hott.

Anyway, he's in some old abandoned church looking for something. I wonder what it could be that he stopped an autopsy to go and look for? Hmmmm?

Now that we've all figured out that he's looking for the second Risen Mitten, we can now wonder why the hell he thinks he's going to find it in a box full of dolls.

Back at the hub everybody is uncharacteristically obeying Jack's instruction. Ianto is worried. He's still wearing the same clothes...I'm not pointing that out to make any naughty insinuations because everybody is wearing the same clothes...What I'm trying to say is he's still in red and it's NOT my fault he's always prominently standing in the background. Nope.

And the rest of the gang is worried too. Martha has no idea what the fuck is going on at all. :D

Gwen is understandably freaked out and upset and kinda pissed at Jack. I actually liked her in this episode. She has this whole creeped out vibe and is kind of keeping her distance up until the embalming scene. Also she was useful (sorta), and had appropriate emotional interactions with appropriate people.

Tosh is pretty.

This is what it looks like when Jack brings Owen back to life.

This is what Owen looks like when Jack brings him back to life.

Ianto has no parting words. At this point I get the feeling he's only liked Owen in the way you like members of your family sometimes....Because they are family, and he has to.

Gwen has naught to say either. But that's more because she's unprepared and totally freaked out by the whole business.

Tosh confesses her undying love, and Dead Owen is freaked out.

Jack confesses that he needs the code to the alien morgue. Dead Owen is pissed!

Ianto memorizes the code. Always the professional.

Martha Cannot believe this shit.

Don't cry Tosh! He's not worth it!

This is what Jack looks like when Dead Owen doesn't go back to being Dead.

This cap needs no introduction.

Tosh now regrets professing her endless love.

Wait, Wait, Wait...So are Owen and Rhys the only guys we're ever going to see in various states of undress? Can I start a petition for Ianto to take it off now?

Ianto is still keeping time. I think he's just waiting for Owen to drop dead again so he can get on with consoling Jack with his particular brand of stopwatch-lovin'

Check it, I'm going to admire Gwen again. It's like we've entered bizarro world. Ianto walks by with the glove and she jumps in her chair then looks suspiciously after them while she sits at the desk there. I thought it was a nice reminder about how Gwen was affected by the whole Suzie thing. As far as I can remember she doesn't even enter Jack's office at this point.

Ianto happily reminds everybody that Gloves comes in pairs. You know what, I think this whole mess is his fault for putting the idea in Jacks head in the first place.

Hey, don't be sad! I didn't mean it.

Owen really isn't too pleased about being a zombie.

Later Gwen calls Rhys....

Um, Rhys has nice lips. I think I want to make out with him. I really don't know how to feel about this sudden development.

Owen doesn't think the living should know about death.

Then spouts some lies about white lights and pearly gates.

Martha believes him for about two seconds. Hehe, I can't help but think she's wondering what the Doctor would do and thinking about how ragingly irate he would be about this whole living dead situation.

Owen and Jack

Martha asks all the right questions, who, what where, why, how????

Jack has the answer...which is I don't know! This is Torchwood, you expect us to have a plan? Pffft.

Gwen is still visibly suspicious.

Uh-Oh, the talk Owen has probably been dreading since he realized he wasn't going to go back to being dead.

He tells Tosh exactly what she was thinking, and Tosh agrees with him, even though she doesn't. C'mon, Tosh! There are plenty of fish in the sea, and they aren't even dead!

Owen doesn't have to pee, he's just trying to get away from Tosh as quickly as humanly possible before it gets even more awkward.

Poor Tosh!

And Owen develops some Dead Dead eyes.

Hey, look. Ianto's handing Jack his coat again...

Wait a damn minute...

He's actually helping him on with it now.

I've seen camera work like this before....did Owen become a sex alien during his escape??

Hey, look! It's the sluttiest girl in Wales! Where was this bar in episode one? I don't think Owen would've needed sexy alien spray here.
P.S. Owen gets in a fight with Jack and then they get arrested by the way.

This is weird to say, but being locked up is really workin' for Jack. They should lock him up more often.


Here's Owen...He has a problem with all the alcohol he just consumed at the bar...it's not going out the normal way...soo Uhh, I'll spare you the projectile vomiting cap...

Jack avoids getting his shoes wet, and tell Owen that's the most disgusting think he has ever seen, and he's been around for a while.

Jack would've made an awesome big brother. I just loved his interaction with Owen here.


Tosh basically admits that she spies on Owen through the CCTV.

Stalker Much? Says Gwen. And once again I'm agreeing with her. What has happened to the world??? Anyway, Tosh has seen Owen's Dead eyes and she needs a gadget to translate what he's saying.

Ianto is the archive master...and looks none too pleased about being left with all this eeestrogen surrounding him.

Owen King of Weevils!!! Hahaha, Psych!

Look....Tonto. :D

Tosh bitches about Gwen's researching skills. She so doesn't want to send Owen back to the afterlife.

Owen declares his status as a monster.

Join the club, Owen.

Awwww, Tosh.

Gwen finally has a mini-breakdown.

But Owen is ready to go.

Here, Have some more Eye Candy.

Of course the glove targets Martha, gotta put her in some kind of danger.

Ianto arms himself for the future...

Jack: Seriously?

My, what a big stick you have.


I didn't get one of Jack waking up in the car, but I thought it was hilarious. Jack's dying has become so routine that they just throw his dead ass into the car and go on about their business until he wakes up again.
(Geez, I missed a lot of stuff...didn't I mention that DEATH came bursting out of Owen's every orifice looking for stuff to deadify....and Oh, yeah, I missed the part about explaining that DEATH has been trying to bridge the gap between the real world and the dead world through Owen and that he must kill 12 people in order to walk the Earth...and...Oh, well, I'm not redoing it now, just enjoy the pretty. I hope you've seen this episode because this recap is useless for anything else!)

Talk about your bizarre love Triangles. Also, Jack finally wants some answers now that all hell has broken loose, and who's the one to find them?

But I thought Gwen was the one with the mad googling skillz???

Owen has a heart to heart with the cancer kid.

The horse's name was Friday. Sorry, wrong joke, I mean the girls name was FAITH. Duh.

Owen lays one on Tosh.

But not because he likes her or anything.

Death walks like a crotchety old man. Just thought I'd point that out.

Jack?? Gwen?? Anyone?? Bueller?? So this is two weeks in a row that Ianto's gotten the bejesus scared out of him, and I think there's one thing that we have learned...he is quite a screamer. Hehe. Mind, meet Gutter, please enjoy your stay.

Owen sincerely wants to help out the team.

But it looks like Jacks getting all hard ass on him again. Boo, Jack, this is all your damn fault, you know! :P

Just pointing out that Gwen kind of looks like a Christmas tree in next week's preview.
