OH FUCK YOU RTD!



Oh no no no no no no please no, not Ianto... I... I can't believe they just did that. Fucking rip my heart out show won't you?

Housemate B and I watched the last 15mins holding hands and crying. I haven't stopped.

Jesus h.

I suspect I should just stop watching everything! ;_;

*mourns with you*

What will Jack, and us, do now?

Jack is going to fucking kill and maim and destroy anything in his way.

Gah, I knew I shouldn't have clicked the spoilers for this ep, am dl'ing atm and I am already in Denial...

Just think Daniel Jackson in SG1... he came back... he came back from the dead.

Gawd, RTD has just alienated fandom to the nth degree, his professional life is now officially over

Wow, it must be bad to get a comment from you mr. disappearing act... *smacks you upside the head and hugs*

Ugh but yeah, denial works for me, though I don't think RTD is keen to copy SG1 on this. After all, he's always said that one of the things they wanted to do with Torchwood was to bring that dose of realism: it's a dangerous job, people die. So in one way this was twistedly genius plot move. In another way... DIE IN THE FIRE, RTD, I NEED SOME HAPPY IN MY LIFE GAH.

I read the spoilers so I know what's coming up and damn it, I'm not ready for this!

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I was unspoiled, unprepared, emotionally vulnerable... and the show just trampled all over my heart, gah!

[identity profile] broadwayyy.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I laughed. In my defence, it was only because I just do not cry in front of people. Ever. It was pretty much a toss up between burst out laughing or make a horrible shrieking noise to let off steam. I've now retired to my bedroom to cry, I feel like such an idiot. I swear, they'd better have some completely crap scene next week that reminds us all of Owen, where Ianto becomes a zombie. Granted, I'd probably roll my eyes and cancel my DVD order if that happened but I WANT MY IANTO BACK.

*hold your other hand and cries*

*clings*

Extreme emotional reactions tread close to the same line. I did not believe it was actually happening until the final scene with the bodies and then I started bawling like a baby.

I mean, it's... it's possible that they're bringing him back, somehow? Right?

[identity profile] broadwayyy.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
It's certainly possible! *nod*
Definitely... maybe... certainly... I hope...
I mean, they brought Owen back and nobody even liked him. Or... something...

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hopes against hope.

I totally liked Owen... A lot!

[identity profile] broadwayyy.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, okay, so they brought Owen back and Owen was a git. How's that? Well, sometimes a git. He didn't shag Toshiko and that gives me cause not to like him.

Hey, did you get my e-mail?

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
hey babe I did, I'm just waiting to hear a confirmation on some dates in August before getting back to you to let you know when I'm free... Sorry hun, will email you tomorrow or this weekend the latest.

[identity profile] scruby.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ok, no problem, just wanted to know that you got it because I though that maybe you've changed your e-mail or something. (:

I haven't seen any of it down here in the Antipodes, and I don't know that I will unless I see a post detailing how Ianto was revived and how he and Jack are now both immortal and soul bonded or some shit

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are my fandoms breaking my hear, why? Primeval got cancelled, Robin Hood got cancelled (and also got really shitty the last season), Panic split up, AND NOW THIS, I CANNOT HANDLE THIS MUCH PAINNNNNNNNNN

I shall write you happy-making fic. Give me the prompt of your heart.

ilu! *draws hearts around you*

I actually can't bare the thought of reading Jack/Ianto right now (too painful) so I'm opting for some Bandom BFF schmoop... Alex/Ryland and my favourite cliché of 'pretending to be a couple' aaaaaaaaaaand GO!

I wish I'd had someone with me; I watched it alone. Tres miserable.

On the one hand: wow, great writing, great twist, great characterisation.

On the other hand? DIE IN A FIRE, RTD. *sobs*

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
This is almost exactly what I said: awesome writing and as a plot twist it was brilliant. Emotionally: I'm a fucking wreck. I was in denial right until the scene with the bodies and then started sobbing.

I saw my f-list before the episode, so I kept expecting it to happen. A cut-tag that says "cries" is kind of spoilery, dude. :(

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry babe but I didn't expect that emotion would be classed as spoilery nowadays... I could have and would have been crying about anyone of them after all...
ext_30543: (Default)

[identity profile] bluesbell.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
I don't usually consider mood spoilers to be spoilers, but the subject line combined with the crying rather strongly implies that someone dies in the episode, so in this case it was spoilery for me. I prefer going into an episode without knowing such things.

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
*nod* point taken, i shall emulate mikeyway with tonight's cut-tag... like so :|

sorry for the spoilering babe, honestly didn't think this would count :(

Damn.

I had a lot of word, most of them unprintable...

I've been watching it here in Oz on UKTV - late at night when the house is quiet, everyone else has gone to bed, and I can enjoy (recorded it). We are one day behind here so have not seen Day 4 yet. Have seen the spoilers though! Don't know if I can actually watch tonight ... don't think so.

The thing that annoys me is that they had finally got it right - great storyline, great characterisations, great production - such promise for the future. I actually like Gwen in this and finally Ianto's thoughts and feelings are explored. Plot wise it is probably a brilliant move but for the series I think it's an ending. Without the dynamic of Jack and Ianto and the way they played off against each other there is nothing to really keep the interest up. And that's sad.

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fervently hoping that someone pushes the reset-button, cheesy at it is I would totally approve any and all 'let's go back in time and fix things' storylines right about now.

I think you might unfortunately be right. Jack/Ianto interplay was one of the core things about the series and without Ianto Jack will become unpleasant in many ways I predict...

[identity profile] margaret-r.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ah! Yes, I'd go for the 'everything's alright, we have managed to reverse polarity and fix it' solutions right now, but I doubt it will happen.

I agree that Jack without Ianto is going to bring out the worst in him. I wonder if RTD really appreciates just how much of a fanbase that pairing has. I've tried to psych myself up to watching Day 4 tonight but I don't think I've succeeded! I'm such a coward and I don't want to cry ....

[identity profile] neppu.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
Just watched it now, and I have only one thing to say at this point: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

Well, actually I have a lot to say, but that is all I can manage at the moment.

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I hear you sister. I just saw someone compare the show to an abusive boyfriend... you love and want to trust and then BAM, you're at the emergency room again. I thought it was fitting.

[identity profile] neppu.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Disturbingly so! I was just saying to Elisa that seeing how many times this show has spat us in the face, tomorrow I will watch it wearing a two-inch rubber mask.

Seriously, though, killing Ianto was unnecessary, in my humble opinion. We have suffered enough, RTD, they have suffered enough, so please just throw us a goddammn bone.

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2009-07-10 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a line between being realistic and being an asshole. I believe it was just crossed. Again.

...Jesus, I need a helpline number or something.

*snuggles* I know, but... while there's plenty of heartbreak for various fans - not only one particular group - there's also a hell of a lot of awesome in that final season.
