They did indeed make Jack darker. I didn't mind that until he did that to Alice and Steven. That just broke me a bit.
I completely agree. As you know Owen/Ianto was my favourite pairing and I feel the same. They are both gone now. Unfortunately that now has me planning an ownto afterlife fic. :S:S
It was gripping stuff yes, I just feel it wasn't torchwood. I can't see where it might go either, which is the worst part really. Since I am seriously going to miss it.
I was planning one myself but no firm ideas yet. I already did a mini one today where Tosh and Owen were with Ianto's family waiting in heaven. It was more Jack/Ianto though. I've only written them twice as I don't think Jack always treated Ianto as well as he should have.
I'll certainly look out for your afterlife fic. I'd love them talking about how Torchwood affected them.
Whoa...I really have lost touch with my LJ recently, I am very sorry. :S I have to say that now I have calmed down a bit I don't agree with half of this rant anymore. I mean...I was being a bit rash really and I think I went into that fifth episode almost determined not to like it because Ianto wasn't there. How childish of me lol. I've watched it since and have actually come to see alot of good things in the last episode which I missed first time around
( ... )
awwww ..... i was looking for fics these days, hoping to forget last week and i remembered your beautiful LJ and your amazing Owen/Ianto stories ..... and then i saw this post .... and then i also had to say i'm totally crushed, i just can't get over it.
You're absolutely right about the writer's intentions and creative impulse, i hate to give the impression that i'm judgemental .... but i do feel Ianto's death was utterly pointless at this point of the story, really. But that's just my personnal feeling, who am i after all?
The pain is so real since friday, i i wasn't done with grieving Owen and Tosh deaths .... i have the feeling he took Torchwood away from me right now.
Jesus ! I didn't want to write an essay about my pain .... we do have to support each other right now ....! I'm denial. Luckily we'll always have fics and our beloved characters will survive.
Do you mind if i send you an invite to be friends this time ?
My beautiful LJ? You really are too kind. Although might I just take this moment to thank you? Because that ownto video of yours spawned an entire ownto series for me, one which I am still working through! And so I have to thank you for that, I might never have started writing it in the same way without your help! *hugs
( ... )
*hugs to you as well* Thank you for your really kind words .......
Maybe i'm going to get over COE eventually, right now i'm still thinking what the fuck RTD had in mind ?? Do i have to say i didn't watch day 5 yet .... yeah i know, and yes it's possible .... my brain just stopped when Ianto died. I will one day, i just don't know when yet. The thing is i didn't have enough interest in that plot to accept Ianto's death, i mean, to think it was necessary. And with that 5 episodes format i do feel we didn't have the time we needed ( i needed ) with the characters. Frustrating.
Torchwood got us good, right ? That's just too bad cause i have the impression RTD just took away a part of my world putting an "end" to the TW i loved.
Anyway, stop to these random thoughts ..... thanks for the kind welcome to random talks, this fandom is completely amazing, it's something that i love about this show.

I'm not one of the ones hating RTD but although he said there had to be a believable sense of danger he could have dialled down the death a bit.
Still a little all over the place on how I feel. Both my boys are gone now.
RTD may not have written what we liked but he certainly wrote gripping stuff.
I assume it has to be over. Where can they go from here?
