Mostly for Kim and Rai.
Watched Torchwood: Children of Earth Day Four. Have yet to see Day Five.
AM NOT PLEASED.
In fact, I am so incredibly upset about this. There really aren't words at this point. Just... just fury.
I explained my extreme displeasure/rage/anger/disgust/general sorrow to Tiff. Which required a little backstory.
the emo faery: OKAY OMFG.
Red OMC Ranger: lol
the emo faery: so, Capt Jack is like, this immortal guy
Red OMC Ranger: yeah
the emo faery: and he has this team, Torchwood, who fight alien threats
the emo faery: and they're hardcore and amazing and awesome
the emo faery: and like season two-ish he develops this relationship with Ianto Jones, the all around general go-to guy
the emo faery: on the show
the emo faery: and they're cute and whatever, because Ianto's hysterically funny and Jack flirts with everything that moves
Red OMC Ranger: lmao
the emo faery: and they have this team, with this girl Tosh, who's all tech-y and gorgeous and shy and cute
the emo faery: and Owen, who's a doctor, and a brat and obnoxious but funny sometimes
the emo faery: and Gwen, who's obnoxious and bratty and really fucking annoying
the emo faery: and so end of series two they KILL OWEN AND TOSH
the emo faery: and leave Ianto Gwen and Jack
the emo faery: and we were all like OMFG WHY TOSH
the emo faery: WHY NOT GWEN
the emo faery: and NOW
the emo faery: NOW
the emo faery: IN THIS FUCKING MINISERIES
the emo faery: FIVE PARTS
the emo faery: I JUST SAW NUMBER FOUR
the emo faery: AND THEY FUCKING KILLED IANTO
the emo faery: THEY FUCKING KILLED IANTO AND HE SAID I LOVE YOU TO JACK
Red OMC Ranger: oh jesus
the emo faery: and JACK SAID 'DON'T' BECAUSE HE'S ALL ANGSTY AND DAMAGED
the emo faery: BUT HE DIDN"T SAY I LOVE YOU BACK
the emo faery: AND IANTO'S DEAD
the emo faery: AND LIKE, NEVER COMING BACK
the emo faery: AND I'M SO FUCKING PISSED.
the emo faery: AAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSALF:KJADLK:FJAKL:DJFLKAD:
the emo faery: *KEYSMASH*
Red OMC Ranger: why are they killg off everyone??
Red OMC Ranger: killing*
the emo faery: I DUNNO!
the emo faery: i know they're getting a new team
Red OMC Ranger: is the series ending or what
the emo faery: no
the emo faery: they're getting a new team
the emo faery: but it's like, i get why they keep gwen, i do
the emo faery: she's the only like 'normal' perspective
the emo faery: she was a normal person before she joined torchwood
the emo faery: but WHY did they ahve to kill Ianto?
the emo faery: it was just like, superfluous
the emo faery: there was no true point to it
Red OMC Ranger: jeez
the emo faery: they could've kept them both
the emo faery: it's like
the emo faery: agh.
the emo faery: i'm incredibly upset
the emo faery: i dunno if i'll keep watching the show now
the emo faery: it's really gonna depend on the new cast, but i really dunno.
the emo faery: it's just, like, ruined for me now.
Red OMC Ranger: that's the con of liking a show with good writing b/c they really will kill people
the emo faery: i know, but i feel like this was just so pointless
the emo faery: kind of like "SCARY TORCHWOOD, LOOK, PEOPLE DIE!"
Red OMC Ranger: jeez
the emo faery: i feel like they thought he was expendable
the emo faery: and he really wasn't
the emo faery: he was this incredible character
the emo faery: and it's just like, ack.
Red OMC Ranger: is Capt Jack going to be all down in the dumps now?
Red OMC Ranger: or pissy
the emo faery: he'll be depressed i think
the emo faery: but i dunno
the emo faery: i mean, i think he loved ianto
the emo faery: he just lives forever, so everyone he loves dies
the emo faery: and he has to watch them die
Red OMC Ranger: yeah
the emo faery: so he doesn't like getting close to people
the emo faery: and ianto was not gonna let it go
the emo faery: he demanded where other people gave in
the emo faery: and he wanted to be a couple with jack, but jack wouldn't let him
the emo faery: and it was just so frustrating
the emo faery: and to end it on that note
the emo faery: not even an i love you AFTER he was dead
the emo faery: it's like, ugh.
the emo faery: i mean
the emo faery: jack DID promise he'd remember him forever.
the emo faery: and ianto was crying and he was like, in a thousand years
the emo faery: you won't remember my name
the emo faery: and jack was crying
the emo faery: and said that he always would
the emo faery: but it's like, i dunno - there better be some crazy angst related to this
the emo faery: i don't want Ianto's death to be some sort of like, just extra gruesome tid bit
the emo faery: and worth nothing, ya know?
Red OMC Ranger: yeah
Red OMC Ranger: hopefully the writers didn't do it for nothing
the emo faery: yeah, that's all i can really ask for now
the emo faery: ugh, i'm gonna be so upset about this for awhile.
Red OMC Ranger: aww
Red OMC Ranger: I bet
Basically sums it up. GDL may be a prat and he may make stupid faces when he cries, but Ianto was brilliant and he wasn't just some throwaway character and I just feel like they... I dunno. I'm just upset.
My heart is more than a little broken.
