And Also Some Other Things Happened.

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME CRY, TORCHWOOD

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE RUBBISH

I'M SUPPOSED TO MOCK YOU

I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANY ACTUAL EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT

ajghjgdahfjafhgh why why why would you do this to me


On the one hand, I am sort of glad that, if Ianto had to die (and, er, it really doesn't look as if Torchwood has a future, does it?), it was after Torchwood became good, so I could really care about it. On the other, adjghjadjgjfghh crying.

(Although I was immensely distressed during the actual dying scene, I didn't actually start sobbing until Gwen was looking at his body and Jack put his arm around her and I can't even be coherent right now. Torchwood, you absolute bastard of a show, you clearly became good just so you could get me emotionally invested and then hit me with that.)

OH, AND TORCHWOOD WERE BEING SO AWESOME JUST BEFORE, and of course I thought 'well, this all seems to be going a little too smoothly, obviously something is going to go wrong, there's still one episode left', but I wasn't expecting them to freaking kill Ianto. (Possibly also because there was still one episode left.)

I never really 'shipped Jack/Ianto that much. Of course it had to creep up on me now.


Were - were there other things in that episode?

Well, there was confirmation that the 456 is a mutated Doduo Dodrio, but oh, all right, I am so distressed by Ianto's death that I cannot even think about silly Pokémon crossovers. (That really is a sign that something's wrong.)

The lack of Pokémon crossovers means, of course, that this entry has nothing to distinguish it from the hordes of no doubt identical posts all over your flist right now, but I need to post it anyway.

IANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It has three heads, so it's a Dodrio. With, er, a creepy kid with some sort of mask attached to it.

Ah, I was a bit confused about the number of heads (there was a quick flash of what looked like it might have been three heads, but for the most part the camera only focused on two at a time). A Dodrio, then! Definitely a member of that evolutionary family gone horribly horribly wrong, at any rate.

There was someone saying 'it's got three heartbeats!' and then Frobisher said 'well, it's got three heads', so that was confirmed. I am loving the fact that they're keeping the alien hidden in the fog and that you're not entirely sure what it looks like. There had better not be some big 'and this is what really looks like' reveal tonight, or that effect will be ruined.

Also, it was a bit daft of Jack to go 'by the way, we're declaring a war on you' and not expect the alien to do something back. It's not like you can go 'hey, we're declaring a war on you, can you wait with doing anything until we're ready?'.
