I liked it. Overall, I liked it. And I did cry. I cried when Ten was so happy that he was alive, and then Wilf knocked 4 times. That whole exchange...ow. And when he went and got his reward.
My only WTF moment was Martha/Mickey. WTF? That was...odd, really. Like RTD just wanted to square everything away neatly. And I really LIKED Tom. I had a thing for Tom. If I was Martha, I totally would have been with Tom.
Seeing Rose was sweet and sad. I've always liked Rose...I ship Ten/Rose.
With regard to the Jack/Alonso thing...I liked it. Honestly, post-COE, I don't know what people were expecting, but I really think this is the best we could have asked for. Ianto's dead, it's happened, I've been moving on from Torchwood. It was good to see that Jack was still affected, still sad (and we have no clue WHEN that was), but I liked to see him try, to smile, to have hope, to know that there was still life left. Because the inevitable end of Jack/Ianto has ALWAYS been that Ianto will die, and Jack will live. Period, end of story.
Also, WOW, was I shipping Ten/Master a bit. And the Time Lords are sort of fuckers. Like...a lot. Weird.
Oh, Ten. I don't want you to go, either. But you know what? I think I'm going to like Eleven. I mean, yeah, the kid is odd looking...all forehead and such, but...I think it's going to work. And the preview for next season? Looks AWESOME! That new companion is gorgeous, too.
I dunno...the thing of it is, I was originally a Torchwood fan who watched Doctor Who. And maybe now I'm a Doctor Who fan who watched Torchwood. I didn't really enjoy COE (I maintain that I would have liked it if it was some random show, but it just wasn't Torchwood to me) and where it left things, with Owen, Tosh AND Ianto gone. I'll always have seasons 1 & 2, and the fic I've found and the FRIENDS I've made, but that's sort of where it ends.
So I'm glad to still have Doctor Who. I want to see where it goes next, especially with Moffat taking over.
