So...her first name is "Bad?" by Tomato on 2009-07-01 17:36:00 UTC Reply

Or do I have the Welsh backwards and "Blaidd" is the part of the phrase that means "wolf?"

Either way, dumb name and shamelessly ripped from "Boomtown."

'Cause apparently her parents just hate her that much...
...*coughSuecough*
Actually the part that got me was where she seems to know all about the entire Torchwood team. Without, y'know, getting her memory wiped or anything. To the point where she wanders through their base while they're out and swipes stuff. Because that's so plausible... :P

there is not enough retcon in badfic by IndeMaat on 2009-07-02 21:26:00 UTC Reply

Old friends of Ianto, Gwen and Jack (!) keep popping up, knowing all about Torchwood. I thought these people were very good at keeping secrets (except for the part where they drive around in an SUV cleared marked TORCHWOOD). Ianto kept a cyberwoman in the basement, Jack never tells anyone anything about himself and Gwen didn't want to give Rhys retcon any more because she needed to be able tell someone about her day.

Or perhaps the Torchwood that is shown on the Eastern hemisphere is different than that on the Western? You know, like mirror universe different.

Well, Tolkien based Sindarin off Welsh, IIRCÂ… by Tawaki on 2009-07-02 03:28:00 UTC Reply

…and draug is Sindarin for wolf.

She hooks up with the Doctor? by Helen of Pylos on 2009-07-01 07:08:00 UTC Reply

Really. And he calls himself John Smith. Is it just me, or would the real Doctor come up with something, I dunno, flashier, I guess? Perhaps I just haven't watched enough Doctor Who.

He first took the alias in The Wheel in Space. by Tawaki on 2009-07-01 15:37:00 UTC Reply

It was the name he went under in the Jon Pertwee era, and the name he took as a teacher of physics in School Reunion.

Yep, definitely must watch more Who by Helen of Pylos on 2009-07-01 17:52:00 UTC Reply

Torchwood's more my thing though, but I do like the actor who played the Doctor.

Nope, he usually uses John Smith. :P (nm) by Huinesoron on 2009-07-01 07:14:00 UTC Reply

How do you even pronounce that? (nm) by PitViperOfDoom on 2009-07-01 02:25:00 UTC Reply

"Bliith Druug", roughly. It's Welsh. by Huinesoron on 2009-07-01 07:17:00 UTC Reply

And taken straight from the 2005 series. Used as a name, however, it's pretty stupid.
