Captain's Blog: Tosh

The best Tosh bits from the BBC America Captain's Blog.

I still cannot believe that Tosh doesn't get a mention until Entry 7! I feel so aggrieved for her. I will be updating as the blog updates, so keep on the look out. Links to other team members here and at end of post. If you feel like I've missed anything out, let me know and I'll add it in. My thanks to [info]theonides for the icon. 

Series 1:

Entry 7: 

"While the pendant helped Toshiko to prevent a crime, she felt that it was too unfocused to be of any use."

"Staff: Toshiko Sato caused a major security breach. Although she was being manipulated with the pendant by a clever alien, this is still disappointing. She should have come to me as soon as she was given the alien device. Thankfully Tosh is the worst liar in the world, and it was fairly obvious that something was wrong, which helped to avert the crisis. Still, things could have gone very badly for her, for all of us. It's difficult not being able to talk to anyone about our work, but we should be able to discuss it with each other, at the very least."


Entry 12:

"Rift activity: Breach at an abandoned dance hall, causing a temporal shift. Myself and Toshiko were sent to 1941, and trapped there...Rift opened..., using the key and Tosh's equations, then closed again."


Entry 13:

"Other security issues: Bilis Manger still missing... Tosh and Ianto are working up some theories, places to look."


Series 2:

Entry 15:

"Toshiko is working on a larger scale device for disabling their [Sleeper Cell's] forcefields and transmitters, in the event of a full scale attack."

"Tosh found all the other “hide in plain sight” secret storage locations across the country"


Entry 16:

"Staff: Toshiko became very close to Tommy on his final day, especially when we found out he was going back the next morning. It’s not always a good idea to do that, when you know it’s only for a day, and the other person is due to die, but I can’t exactly pretend to be the sensible one here. Tosh saw what happened with the real Captain Jack, so there was no way I could – or would – try and stop her. I know exactly how she feels."


Entry 17:

"Other Staff issues: For future reference - do not sneak up on Tosh wearing a clown mask, for a laugh. She does NOT find this amusing."


Entry 18:

"Staff: Someone sent Toshiko a huge bunch of flowers. Nobody’s admitting to it, but we’re all convinced it was Owen - he protests too much."


Entry 22:

"Other Staff issues: Toshiko caught the bouquet when Gwen threw it. Naturally we will never let her hear the end of this."


Entry 24:

"Rift activity: While she and Gwen investigated a missing persons case, Toshiko figured out that sometimes there are negative Rift spikes, ones that take things away. I didn’t think anyone would put the two together, I’ve kept it well hidden. I knew Tosh was a genius when I hired her, guess I forgot just how good she is. Should have known something was up when I saw that adorable little ‘’aha’’ smile that she gets when she’s been particularly clever."

"Security: The whole team now knows about the medical facility for victims of the Rift. Tosh and Owen don’t know all the details, we spared them that."


Entry 26:

"Staff: Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper died in the line of duty. I lost them. I failed them. It feels like a piece of me has been cut out."

"Owen, Tosh - you were the best. I miss you."

You're very welcome. I couldn't believe how little there was of her but then she's not as close to Jack as the others and it is his POV.

Those are truly great bits. I love the clown mask bit. Lol.

Very random. But funny.

Really? It made me laugh. They'll just tease her a little bit.

When you think about it in the context of 'Exit Wounds' though...
