A Couple of Things

[quinn222]

I've recently acquired a fascination with Bento. Anyone else on my flist do this? I decided that this week I'm going to try and do Bento every day for lunch. Of course I will never make anything that







but one can aspire. I bought enough stuff today so that if I do some pre-cooking tomorrow I ought to be able to have a healthful, attractive lunch every day this week.

Also, I love this scene (which only lasted a few seconds) from Greeks Bearing Gifts. I've only ever seen it referenced once in a fic but I find it really intriguing that Ianto is debriefing Tosh. Clearly Gwen and Owen couldn't do it, given the circumstances but it's interesting Ianto was given the task. Also, note the table, there are coffee cups at each place, there must have been a group meeting before the others left and Ianto conducted the debrief.

I work for a company that's owned by a large Japanese corporation, they bring me back new bento boxes if I ask for them when they go..and on the trains there, that's all they basically serve.

But I doubt they look like that. *smile*

And I love that scene too, I made a ton of caps from the second season, not so much the first one, but that scene was a great one and it showed that Ianto was more a part of the team than they showed a lot of the time. You really had to feel for Tosh, she had the worst taste, in a way it was actually kind of more realistic to have a character like that, but at the same time it was like, "Can someone please give this woman a break?" And what she heard Ianto thinking broke my heart.

Lucky you!

So true, she never did catch a break. What got to me about Ianto (and I'll admit I adore him and think GDL's performance is consistently brilliant) is that the others telegraphed to a degree what they were thinking. Ianto had that serene outward calm while his inner thoughts seethed and you could see it just about broke her.
