Hokay, I don't think you know who I am. I'll explain later, but I'm jumping in on the group hug now because I feel hollow inside after watching tonight and thinking it couldn't possibly be worse than last night.

I was so very wrong.

spiderine July 11 2009, 01:20:47 UTC

I know who you are: You're Torchwood fan, and you read my Thinkies, and you deserve ALL THE HUGS YOU WANT.

*HUGS AND MORE HUGS FOR YOU*

morgan_lowri July 11 2009, 01:29:54 UTC

*HUGS SO MUCH*

I lost my hero tonight.

spiderine July 11 2009, 01:31:55 UTC

We all did, honey. *HUGS SOME MORE*

darthhellokitty July 11 2009, 01:24:01 UTC

Thanks for the Thinkies, even though this last one couldn't have been any damn fun to write.

I guess I'm glad that's over with.

spiderine July 11 2009, 01:32:21 UTC

Yep. You're quite welcome. :)

I'm talking to you - and crying - and I have decided that my Torchwood ends with The Dead Line. Whatever nihilistic self-aggrandizing bullshit RTD wrote is in some parallel universe where I do not live. Why did he do it - because he likes fucking with the fans and showing them that HE CONTROLS the stories and the characters, and also because I think he's heading off to do an American reboot of the series with all new characters.

spiderine July 11 2009, 01:38:54 UTC

*HUGS YOU* It's all right, honey. Yeah, my canon does not include CoE. I don't like to be fucked with this way.

An American reboot? Ug. Don't tell me more. I don't want to know.

belleweather July 11 2009, 05:00:25 UTC

Seriously. We had an American Torchwood. They called it the X-files.

I know I'm being silly, but I'm still crying. I don't think I'll bother watching Day 5 at all and certainly won't watch it when it airs, here in Canada.

I also won't be watching a show written by RTD again. The thing is I love a good death scene and have watched one that were so satisfying that only death would work would be right. But this isn't such a death and I feel so saddened.

spiderine July 11 2009, 01:46:43 UTC

It was a useless, pointless death.

If you don't want to watch it, don't. Frankly, you're missing very little. *HUGS* We're here for you, honey.

wickhouse2005 July 11 2009, 02:02:09 UTC

Am I wrong in thinking this is one more case of killing "the queer", since they made such of big deal of Ianto being gay. And if so doesn't that say something particularly nasty about the writers, producers and the BBC.

tmtrx July 11 2009, 01:41:46 UTC

I just finished watching it. I never in a million years would have believed that Jack would be capable of this. Never. I'm crushed.

spiderine July 11 2009, 01:47:22 UTC

Leaving? I see him as capable of it. He's done it before.

I'm crushed as well, though.

tmtrx July 11 2009, 01:58:13 UTC

No, you're right, I agree about that too. I was talking about 24. I just really don't see him doing that, and I have to imagine that it was a hard sell to JB. Unless his take on Jack is wildly different than what I thought.

neadods July 11 2009, 01:52:11 UTC

Me neither. It's going to be a while before I can enjoy pre-CoE Jack in anything, knowing what his creator's going to do to him.
