Torchwood Finale

[kat_lair]

I wanted to do this last night, but had already turned the computer off. However, the delay has not dampened my utter and heartfelt GLEE.

Torchwood Finale was... AWESOME! and  SO HOT!

I can't remember the last time I was so riveted. I sat in attention the whole hour and half, with my jaw literally hanging open. After each scene I thought 'this is surely it, they can't top this' and THEN THEY DID!

The plot! With the creepy Billis who was so obviously evil you'de need to be blind (or work for Torchwood) not to see it. And Tosh being Japanese and yes omg, not popular in 1941 England. And writing equations with her own blood!"

Jack! And the original Jack. And the subtle desperate yearning looks and I was dying. And dancing *cries* I worried so for the original Jack who will get gay-bashed the second the camera panned away, but maybe it was worth it because HOW HOT WAS THAT KISS? I almost spontaneously combusted on the spot!

And Owen! Owen and Ianto (is it wrong that I wanted them to have angry sex?). And Ianto's "Jack needs me". Gwen's scene over Rhys's death was so realistic it hurt, I was bawling like a baby. Owen shooting Jack and then the ending with the tears and the hugs and why the fuck was the Ianto/Jack kiss cut so quickly? Also: Ianto's Brokeback moment with Jack's jacket! *weeps from the slashiness*

THE DEVIL!!! (was that the same devil from DW?). Jack on his knees, screaming! And he died, twice! And then came back, twice. And the FINAL SCENE OMG SQUEE! "Who would have persuaded you?" "The right kind of Doctor." aaaaahhh! People have wanted that to happen so bad but no one believed the ywould actually do it, but THEY DID! When the severed hand started twitching I was all "No Way!" And then we could hear the Tardis sound and I was vibrating with excitement so hard I fell of the sofa (literally) and AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

WHEN IS THE NEXT SERIES??? Did the devil suck all the extra lives out of Jack? Can he die for real now? Was that really the Doctor? Will Jack beg to stay with him? What makes him not to, in the end? Will Gwen and Rhys make it? Is there any hope for Owen? Is Jack really shagging Ianto? Will Tosh get more action scenes where she can look gorgeous and incredibly well-dressed. Will they ever have a Torchwood orgy with alien sex-pollen? I NEED TO KNOW!

Yes, I sort of slid onto my knees ala Jack whilst his life was sucked out by the big bad, I mean there were arms thrown wide and hihg-pitched noises and everything. Luckily I was on my own, though the neighbours may have been praying for my soul again.

The bit where Ianto smells Jack's coat, that was heart-wrenching. It's quite sad though because it seems pretty clear that Ianto cares more for Jack than Jack does for Ianto. As soon as he took the coat I was pointing at the telly going "sniff it man, sniff it!" And yes, I believe our Ianto has some very conflicting and unhealthy feelings toward Jack.

I got the similarity to the Buffy (what with all the loved ones coming in visions) but by that time I was too far gone to care. Honestly, I think it requires at least five watching before Igain anything resembling a critical distance to this.

The thing is, I don't think there is anyone at the moment who's keeping Jack there. I believe he would leave it all (yes, even Ianto, please nobody hit me with a shovel) in a heartbeat for an opportunity to be united with the Doctor (and Rose, who he obviously doesn't know about). It's clearly not going to happen, at least not in the long-term, and this has lots of potential for angst.

I wonder if he knows if Rose is gone. Would she have been on the list of missing/dead from Torchwood 1? And of course, he doesn't know what Tennant's doctor looks like.

I do hope BBC3 repeat Torchwood soon. I need to see episode 8 for the stopwatch scene, as this is the episode I haven't seen.

Are you sure you were self-combusting *g*

weren't, weren't. Christ can't type.

the possibilies are all intriguing. And I don't feel quite solid in my current form, so it is entirely possible that I did explode in a shower of squee-filled lust and am in fact manipulating the keyboard through the power of my free-floating mind.

I must admit I was going into to bounce mode, and to stop myself because of the highly amused looks from the other half! I'm looking forward to when I can watch it again, on my own.
