Dear Russell,
I don't often rant about my fangirl loves. I try to leave that to the craizer people or the more eloquent ones who can display their disappointment in a thoughtful and well planned way. However, I have to say this...
Fuck you!
Fuck you Davies!
After the shit you pulled in the series finale of Doctor Who with Donna, I cried for the totally unfair ending Rose got, the happiness of Martha and then the frankly cruel 'demise' of Donna. That wasn't fair what happened to her character but I accepted it because it was a good way to end the show and despite everything I had faith in you.
But I'll never forgive you for this.
Call me petty to hold a grudge against a man I've never and probably never will meet but I'm a fangirl, one of the people who made you, and I'm angry at the shit you pulled. I can handle character deaths, I cried for Tosh (not so much Owen but I gained respect for him by the end). I freaking sobbed for Ianto. Why Ianto? Why build him up to knock him down? Why cut down the team to 2 members? Why destroy the relationship between Jack and Ianto just as you were finally beginning to build on it? I know you're all about pulling fast ones, doing things with a bang, but killing off Ianto was unnecessary.
Meh, I'll probably look back at this tomorrow and cringe, but now any excitement I had for day 5 is gone and I just don't see how you can end this show well after pulling that fucker out of nowhere. This wasn't a bad episode - I enjoyed 50 minutes of it. But I'm a pissed off fangirl right now and I am embarassed with myself for caring about a fictional Welsh alien hunter. I'd love to hear an explanation for this decision because I honestly can't think of one reason for you doing it.
I couldn't be happier that you're no longer in charge of Doctor Who. God forbid what you might do to that.
