On the fourth day of Torchweek
Trivia fact of the day:
I have just found out about the existence of the Cave of the Crystals in Naica, Mexico. What a flabbergasting place! I can't get over the fact that those pictures are really real, and not just tiny pictures of explorers photoshopped onto a big picture of a crystal paperweight for a laugh. If I saw it on Star Trek, I'd think ( Read more... )

*Ianto Jones is dead. My life is shit now.
*That warehouse with the rectangular windows is the same as the one in From Out Of The Rain
*I don't know whether to hold hope that he's alive, or that RTD has just done what he's always done, and fucked up massively.
*I don't know if I actually want to watch tomorrow, because Ianto is dead, but I probably will, because I want to know how the story ends. But Ianto is dead
:(

Given the way Gwen and Jack were slumped over his body, I sadly doubt very much that Ianto's coming back. Not unless Jack can give him a super-duper kiss of life (c/f: Cyberwoman)
Perhaps the last seconds of ep. 5 will be Ianto gasping awake, and turning to Jack and saying "I've just had the strangest dream", and then the kiddies all stop....

Honestly, Jack could have told Ianto he loved him. HE WAS DYING, Jack!
Lois - don't join Torchwood. You'll be dead within 5 years.
Small puppet zombie child - same face as they used for the inside of the Toclafane.

Very similar, certainly. I suppose that once you've made an expensive set of animatronic blinking eyes, you need to get value for money out of them.

1. If this is the end of Torchwood, then what a way to go out on! No slow death of pisspoor plots, characters you don't care about, and the same angst over and over again.
2. Wasn't Jacks coming back to life in the morgue wonderful? A sigh rather than a gasp, and with that moment where he pauses before getting up. Well done Mr Barrowman.
3. Gwen. Smiling at Jack being there, and then gathering herself together to look at Ianto.
4. Poor Clem - though hopefully at peace.

I like Gwen anyway, but she's been absolutely stellar all this week. In fact it was her being upset that finally pushed the lump in my throat out through my eyes (so to speak).
I'm pretty sure that this must be the end of Torchwood: I'm certain that RTD just wants to close the book on the Whoniverse and go and do something else. Which is a reasonable enough wish in the circumstances.

yeah. i read the spoiler on this yesterday at work and felt physically ill--couldn't eat my lunch nauseous. and, you can count me as one of the ones who was SO angry yesterday. today, now that the dust settled a bit, i am left feeling gutted and so very, very sad.

yes! in fact--the it was JB's acting that made ianto's death so moving to me. which completely shocks me. the understatedness of it, the ability to convey pure simple grief. i started sobbing once his voice broke and he was begging ianto not to go. that, and when he completely renigged any threats once he realized ianto was under the gun and could die.
