Gwen's in good company....

Gwen bash

Browsing action figures on ebay, I just came across a Gwen figure being sold as part of a set along with a Blowfish and a Weevil. It seemed oddly appropriate, she fits right in with the other two! For some reason, I just found it amusing.

Yeah, what did they do that was so bad they deserved to be stuck with Gwen? Lol! Just wait until she starts doing her caring, compassionate thing with the wide eyes - they'll die of fright!

Very true! It's inhuman treatment of defenceless aliens! This cruelty should not be allowed. I'd save them, but I don't want Gwen eitther!

So we can expect a Weevil and Blowfish's demand for abuse on the horizon hahahaah

They want compensation for the trauma they're suffering, I'm sure. Unjust punishment! Inhumane treatment of aliens! Poor things.

You're welcome! Never know what you'll stumble across while browsing ebay. Gwen has finally found her level.

Well... I wouldn't go *that* far. They're both smarter than Gwen. And better looking. The weevil cares more about their kind then she does hers. I'd rather spend time with either of them then her. Don't think she's found her level yet.

Hmm, you're right. Perhaps it's her destiny to wait on her new owners and see to their needs, clean up after them, wash their clothes etc. Blowfish like to be sharply dressed, its suits need dry cleaning and its shoes need polishing, not to mention washing the car. As foor the Weevil... Well, perhaps Gwen should search the sewers for some nice fresh rats for it.

That won't be hard. Send Gwen down to the sewers, the rats would flee in terror, right into the Weevil's maw.

Even rats prefer not to get near Gwen! There's a new use for Gwen - rat repellent! Got rats? Get a Gwen! Just tie the Gwen down in the middle of a rat run, you'll be free of rats within 15 minutes, guaranteed! Also effective against cockroaches.

Gwen should consider herself lucky! She has the undivided attention of a Weevil AND a blowfish. Wonder how long she's survive...

Well they have to figure out some way to get rid of all the Gwen figures that, despite her awesome awesomeness in Miracle Day, nobody waned to buy.

Snicker, couldn't happen to a bigger nuisance. I've thought for ages how funny it is that Ianto sells for much more than Gwennie-poo. They must be really desperate to get rid of her. If I was mad enough, I could buy one, dismember it, and have Ianto standing on the bits. But he'd never do that

Lol! I considered buying the set, a blowfish would be a nice addition but I already have 5 weevils, I don't really need another and I can't think of a practical use for Gwen - too small for a doorstop. Anyway, why would I waste money buying a Gwen? There are thousands of them out there. I'll stick with my Jacks and Iantos.

Oi don't insult Janet the Weevil, after all we saw her crying for her dead baby in one episode, while our favourite teflon tart made herself a nice warm bullet vest out of her own offspring.

Good point! I didn't watch MD so although I read a few reviews that little scene tends to slip my mind. I just figured, Gwen stuck between two of the series' best 'monsters' with no one to rescue her, that's the best place for her. Maybe those two fine fellows will be able to deal with her. At least they might have some fun seeing what funny facial expressions they can get out of her.

Didn't watch it either. But saw some promo pictures for that scene.

Hm, thinking about it, maybe Gwen having a nice evening with the Blowfish is an old thing from the PC days? Let's face it, she would screw everything anyway, so maybe they had an affair or something, this would also explain the Blowfish's drug problem.

On the other hand, maybe the blowfishe's drug problem explains its affair with Gwen, lol! It was so high it had no idea what it was doing. Not an excuse Gwen could use! Gwen always knows what she's doing but does it anyway. There were all those excuses made on the show for Gwen's affair with Owen, but in reality that was a load of b******t. Gwen slept with Owen because she wanted to. She can make all the excuses she wants, but that's what it comes down to.

The, though lame, excuse could have worked on each and any case, but she jumped into Owen's bed after the bloody cannibals, the only case they had in the whole series in which she could have told Rhys everything about it without having to mention aliens at all. Vanishing hikers, police drives up into the Brecons to check it out and discovers that there are a bunch of nutters eating menburgers out there.

Gwen shags herself through the city, because she has that urgent need to feel important and special, and if there are no dying co-workers around to make her feel important she needs the scratch herself somewhere else.

Gwen the bleeding heart of Torchwood and the rest of the universe knows nothing about love because the only person she is able to love is herself. And no, she doesn't even loves Jack, he is just another trophy, something unique and special she wants.

Wait, can somebody please explain me again why she should be my rolemodel? And why TPTB seem so confused that people went and liked more selfless and loving characters like Tosh and Ianto more?

Yeah, it must be a man thing, because any woman will tell you that Gwen Bloody Cooper is an insult to women everywhere and the worst possible role model for impressionable teens. Not that Gwen acts like an adult anyway, throwing tantrums when she doesn't get her own way and sniggering like a pre-teen over childish who-did-you-last-snog games. And where do people get the idea that she's compassionate and caring? She clearly doesn't give a damn about the feelings of her co-workers or her own boyfriend. As for being police liaison, she managed to alienate her former colleagues in Day One even more thoroughly than Jack does.

I still think it's all about power with Gwen - she wants to be in charge, and failing that, she wants whatever man happens to be in charge so she can bask in his power and pull the strings from behind the scenes. Makes me wonder why she settled for Rhys, but I guess she liked the idea of having a man who would wait on her hand and foot, do anything for her, and forgive her no matter what she did.
