It really was ridiculous, wasn't it? And slow.

But yes, some very nice Jack moments. And Gwen. And Rhys. Hell, even Andy, bless his cotton socks.

I guess that's that, then. Still don't have a clue what was going on, or when the Angelo episode was set, didn't get much character development. Pretty meh.

Pus, none of those 4 died. That had me worried.

I just... So much potential. So little payoff.

it'd be more interesting if everyone had turned into doughnuts

Kaaaaaark! (Or the doughnut equivalent thereof.)

Old!Torchwood could TOTALLY have everyone turn into doughnuts. There's probably fic somewhere... (I remember reading one where they were turned into Christmas Tree ornaments. And an AMAZING one where Ianto became a tentacled alien. (No really. AMAZING. One of the best things I've ever read.) *sigh*

Now I feel all nostalgic for my TW fandom days. Can you point me to the tentacled Ianto fic?

At the end, Darcy and I agreed that it'd be more interesting if everyone had turned into doughnuts

Both delicious and making JUST AS MUCH SENSE.

I am laughing so hard right now. It's just . . . it's like looking in a mirror. That is my exact reaction to, oh, most every other RTD finale. (How does that work? TV is a mysterious thing.) Anyway, welcome to my world *hands you aspirin and an ice pack*

Personal canon: The crack ate Miracle Day.
I am ok with this. It is what the crack is for, after all. But I need Gwen to remember shooting Jack. Because that was amazing.

Tell me you can see the potential DW parallels, though? With Jack looking into the Blessing World Vagina and realizing that, on balance, actually he'd done pretty good, and then being ready to die, and Gwen being like "I've got this" because she is hardcore now but also Gets It (god, if it's not Amy in that suit, and then I'm gonna be so confused), and then everything being magically alright again, and then suddenly Jack was not the Last of the Immortal Guys.

. . . I hope that doesn't suggest Jack/Rex is gonna be a thing. *fumbles for brain bleach*

Heee! So much word! And yes, I guess I can see the parallels, although I can't BEGIN to explain how happy I am that there's no giant magic vagina in DW, which makes people look into their own souls for COMPLETELY UNEXPLAINED REASONS. *stab*

. . . I hope that doesn't suggest Jack/Rex is gonna be a thing. *fumbles for brain bleach*
Dude, that was like the ONE good thing. I mean, the reason behind it all was STUPID STUPID STUPID, but damn, I can get behind snarky, immortal Jack/Rex like THAT.

OOH OOH I just figured out what it is!

It's the ABYSS THAT GAZES ALSO INTO YOU!!!

Also we now have two contenders for Face of Boe.

Now that it's on the Iplayer - and I spent all week playing catch up - I'm about to watch it. Ugh, having seen your review, good luck to me, eh?

On a hopefully more cheerful note I bring you Roda's new timeline, including Alex (with reference) and an OC from another friend (with reference) and at this moment in time, still within a timeline pre-Children of Earth/Miracle Day. http://the-redjay.livejournal.com/186287.html

RTD should set up support groups for people he's broken.
