*rests chin on hands*
I think I can finally put what I am feeling into words.
First to say....that was bloody brilliant tv it was a curse and a blessing it was done with Torchwood.
I've seen a fandom from birth to a burning death. Strange how empty it makes you feel.
If they are never to make another series of Torchwood...I could handle thinking that yeah that was the eventual ending of the team and keep my fandom joys to the first two series.
It was raw, it was shocking.
It's wasn't the Torchwood I loved.
But Torchwood could never have ended happily.
The death...I wish it had meant something...but it does reflect the world that all deaths don't have some meaning.
Jack made the hardest call of all with Stephen and yet...he's had to made calls like that before. If I was him I would have run too from all the memories.
I have the DVD sitting beside me. I won't watch it again until I am ready to put my fandom away for good.
Like
lady_razzle I think it became more about the pairing than the show but I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to the pairing just yet.
For now, I'm putting on a fresh pot of coffee and going back to pre CoE and the pairing that has gripped me.
