Torchwood Children of Earth Ep 4 (Spoilers)

[amanuensis1]

I want this actress to get whatever the English equivalent of an Emmy is. Jeebus, that was fantastic.

...oh, you thought I was going to talk about that other thing? Well, why not.

1.) It doesn't make sense for them to have killed off so many members of the team and then to kill off more. Unless the series is ending completely.

BUT

2.) It doesn't make sense to give a character a long emotional death scene like that and then go "FAKE" one episode later.

So, yeah, there are little hints Ianto might not stay dead ("He will die," says the 4-5-6, as if there might be a while before everyone's actually dead. It's alien poison, who knows) (and Gwen's "There's nothing we can do," is just ripe for contradiction) but I'm trying to deal with the likelihood he's toast. If that's so, then I'd prefer the series end. Most of us aren't watching Torchwood in a "I only like the Jack And Gwen Show, all the other characters can go f**k themselves" way, so they'll piss off more viewers than they'll entertain if they've killed off this much of the regular cast.

As much as part of me is saying what Jack said, which is, "fuck it, I take back everything bad I said about cheap cop-outs, just hit the reset button and bring him back!!!" it seems pretty obvious they ain't gonna. If it were Doctor Who, then yes, but the whole point of this series was that things like this could happen. And yeah, as soon as I saw the publicity shots that were all shippy and stuff, I was like, "well, Ianto's dead, then."

Bastards. :(

IT SUCKS HOW TRUE THAT IS. (That's why I'm laughing so hard.)

And it took all my willpower not to burst into people's squeeful conversations about how great it was that they'd finally be developing the Jack/Ianto relationship and say "you do realize this means he's doomed, right?"
