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

I admit to actual real tears. I was, in fact, bawling.

... They killed IANTO?

HOW MANY CHARACTERS DO THEY HAVE LEFT??

I haven't accepted it. HE WILL BE FINE NEXT EPISODE SO I HAVE NO NEED TO CRY.

Damn; on the one hand, I am glad that the series I first decided to watch Torchwood was the one in which it actually became good, but on the other, DON'T KILL IANTO. Not on.

I just. Seriously. I barely watched the freaking first series, but then I got into it at the start of series 2 and I just. NO.

I didn't think they would have the guts. I thought they might, but then I thought "no - it's Ianto - they wouldn't have the guts".

...ASKSFSETGMREOIBGMF HOW WHY IS IANTO NO WHY IANTO NOOOOOOO

In other news, at time of posting "Ianto" was the third trending topic on Twitter, above the Iran election and Micheal Jackson. WELL DONE, TORCHWOOD: YOU BROKE THE INTERNET.

WAIT WAIT WAIT.

They blew up the hub? What about Myfanwy? D:

(Also, Ianto? No! I mean, I was never that attached to Ianto, but that didn't mean I wanted him to die!)

They're really running out of people on Torchwood, aren't they? It's going to end up as just Jack, having been killed several times, stuck alive and alone. (Total random guess.)

IANTO DIES WHAT

...Fuck. Fuck.

This is what I get for being a spoiler whore, isn't it? "You won't be able to watch the show for a month!" says I. "Can't hurt to see whether Torchwood is any good before watching!" says I.

...argh. *shoots self in head*

He comes back in the final episode, right? Jack magically fixes his vortex manipulator and goes back in time to save Ianto and rips the fabric of spacetime doing it whereupon the Doctor shows up and saves EVERYONE and no one dies and it's all sunshine and puppies right? RIGHT?

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