Let's talk about something more interesting than work.
Like the new Torchwood? :D
Honestly, after I read these character summaries from Starz, I kind of felt a part of my love for this show die. XD; Everything about Jack just seemed so wrong and I have a hard time ignoring canon, no matter how wrong it feels, and reading that, it felt like the show was going in a direction that I just couldn't get behind, but then just now (thanks to lyryk's post) I read this interview with RTD, and I think... Maybe I am excited? Like...really, really excited, maybe?
But I just don't know. ;__; I'm conflicted. I don't know if I want Jack to move on, or if I want him to mourn, and I know it's been two years, and that's kind of a drop in the bucket, for Jack especially, but... At the same time, it hasn't been two years for me, you know? XD; Maybe if I'd watched the series as they aired, I'd be more okay with all of this, and I recognize this. But that doesn't change the fact that for me, Ianto just died. And I'm not finished exploring him, and Jack, and their relationship, and all of that. Not that there isn't time for all of this, but... I don't know. ;__; I'm just conflicted. XD;
However, I really, really really LOVE that RTD has finally said that Jack loved Ianto. At least I don't think I've read that before. (Not saying I couldn't have missed something somewhere along the line? :P)
Anyway, I don't know, in light of everything he says about Ianto in that interview, I realize that I kind of agree with what he says about characters being less interesting with baggage, at least when you're talking about appealing to the masses, and a new audience. I mean, we can read all the fic in the world about Jack mourning Ianto, right? Obviously, I didn't really think we'd get to watch it too.... Right? >_> So yeah, I don't know. I'm just... very apprehensive, but at the same time, just the thought of seeing Jack again, and seeing how he interacts with these new characters has me really excited? But then I think of how Ianto won't be there at all and I get really sad again. XD;;
*sighs* I just hope they do it all justice. Because it would be pretty awesome to be able to participate in this fandom in real time, you know?
*__*
[/end rambling]
I should really get to work. *procrastinating*
Seriously though, thoughts? *_*
