Torchwood - Day 5



It was as suspected. Torchwood comes to an end with a death-toll higher than your average revolution. Also wtf was that about the nuclear family out-surviving everyone else? I mean I love Gwen and Rhys, but come on. Your subtle message is not so subtle.

RTD and I are so done professionally.

Well I wasn't expecting much more from him after series 2 and hey ho! he delivered absolutely nothing.... But I do have to say that even I was surprised by the absolute crap that spewed out of the TV today.

He should have stopped with Season Two ...

I'm still too emotionally raw to get bitter to be properly cynical (this period lasted three days with Harry Potter, and that was ten years of my life. This will take maybe a few hours) because HOLY SHIT there was some good stuff in there.

What made me most uncomfortable was the complete lack of a grieving period. They were back to making light of his sexuality and telling lies and all of that shit within minutes. And I KNOW that they were coming for their children, but it just went to show that Ianto's death meant NOTHING, it served no PURPOSE and I am so done with that in drama.

If you must kill someone I love, do it because it's going to matter, not on (what turned out to be) some random, puposeless event that doesn't even resonate to the next fucking episode. Why didn't the 456 release a virus again? If it was a VIRUS why wasn't it spreading, how did that one guy survive and why wasn't every wall of that room lined with hazmat suits in case, I don't know, the noxious fumes started to leak?

Ianto's death was contrived and needless. The rest of it rocked my world.

I would like to scream and shout but I'm so disappointed with the episode that I can't even do that.

Just watched the season 1 declassifieds yesterday and RTD was soooo excited about the new show called Torchwood. With this episode especially, it seems to me he must have hated the show and all the characters.

Yeah. RTD just made my shit list. He better pray he never runs into me on the street.
