then someone commented that 'Dude. He deserves it.'

Clearly that someone has never, ever, had to deal with any traumatic situation OR had to make a difficult choice at any time in their life.

I feel so sorry for Jack - he's paid again, and again, and again for so much that wasn't even his to deal with, and gotten so little happiness in return. (Okay, the giving the 12 kids to the aliens wasn't a wonderful thing to do from one perspective, but from a handing thos kids over to save the rest of the world perspective, yeah, it beat the alternative. And if Jack had refused, he'd have paid for it and the kids would still have been given to the 456, handed over by someone else.)

so where exactly does Gwen come off with the right to be angry and where does the idea come from that Jack 'deserves' her ire? she's not lost her lover/husband or her child - she's never truly had to face any real consequences for her actions and decisions - and I don't count the reports that Gwen and family are living 'in hiding' at the start of Miracle Day - she's still got Rhys and the baby

My first reaction after watching the end of COE was to fling a pillow against the wall as I leapt to my feet and yelled "I can't believe Gwen F*ing Cooper gets away scot free - again!" As far as I can see, she's never really lost anything. She still had her flat, her friends (and I don't consider Jack and Ianto her "friends"), her husband, her pregnancy, her husband's employment, etc., etc., etc. After watching something that emotionally wrenching, *that* should NOT have been my first reaction.

And yes, I feel very sorry for her baby. I can't imagine having to grow up with a parent like Gwen. I wish I thought Rhys would jerk a knot in her and make her straighten up and fly right, but I don't expect that to ever happen to St. Gwen the Perfect.

I'm so fed up with and sick of what's being done under the TW name nowadays, and with RTD's public behaviour toward his viewers that I refuse to watch more than the first two seasons in any way that can be officially counted. I don't intend to watch MD, either. I'll get enough exposure to it by watching what's posted on LJ.
