Torchwood/Awesome: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

* Practically everyone in "Exit Wounds" gets a crowning moment of awesome. {{spoiler|Tosh and Ianto shooting the reaper-like figures, Gwen's rallying the troops speech, Ianto and Gwen nearly shooting John, John actually shooting Jack, Jack living through being buried alive for nearly <s>a</s> ''two'' thousand years and ''forgiving'' the people who buried him, Tosh and Owen's deaths}}

* Ianto tasering a guy in the forehead in ''Meat''. "Pray they survive" indeed.

* In ''Dead Man Walking'', Owen finds himself, Tosh, and [[Littlest Cancer Patient|a kid named Jamie Berman]] in a hospital, locked in with the motherfreakin' Grim Reaper, who has killed twelve people and needs one more soul to cement its power and walk the earth forever. Suddenly he realizes how to beat it, and while Tosh is working out how to open the door, he ''sits Jamie down for a talk about how to beat cancer'', ending with:

Owen: Watch me. Beat. Death. }}

** And then he shoves Jamie and Tosh through the sliding glass door and ''takes down the Grim Reaper hand-to-hand'' because ''there is nothing it can do to him'', having died once already. Death is its one trick, and it doesn't work anymore.

* Owen gets another CMoA in ''A Day in the Death'':

'''Owen:''' I'm broken. I'm Doctor Owen Harper, and I'm having one '''''hell''''' of a day. }}

* ''Children of Earth'': "Day Two", when Gwen {{spoiler|and Rhys}} are trapped in the mortuary by armed guards, just when you think they've been caught, a [[Unspoken Plan|plan the viewer didn't even KNOW existed]] hits home. Cue the use of heavy construction machinery, an exit that wasn't on the architectural plans, and achieving an objective the viewer didn't think would even be possible, {{spoiler|namely Ianto escaping with Jack, who had been treated to a cement cell}}

* ''Children of Earth'': "Day Four" has one for {{spoiler|Lois Habiba}} when, to help Torchwood, {{spoiler|she, rather meekly, gathers the courage to stand up to the panel of politicians who have been discussing how they are about to sacrifice millions of children to the 456. She doesn't yell, and the unsureness in her voice doesn't make it [[Tranquil Fury]], but as an ordinary person thrust into the fray against her will she holds up fantastically, if not more impressively than someone who's been trained to do so.}}

** The best part is this exchange:

(''Cue [[Oh Crap]] expressions from Green and Frobrisher'') }}

* Owen as "King of the Weevils".

* Jack and John kissing in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," the ensuing fight, the post-fight chat and the confrontation with the rest of Torchwood there. "You went to ''murder'' rehab?"

* In ''Greeks Bearing Gifts'', meek little Tosh {{spoiler|overhears the thoughts of a man plotting to kill his ex-wife, follows him to the woman's house where she finds him menacing her with a shotgun, and slams him over the head with a golf club}}.
