Journey's End... WHY?

[tencrush]

FUCK OFF RUSSELL!

Why ruin a perfectly crackingly good episode with two minutes of the gheyest most pointless fucking shit ever seen on TV?

I loved that episode, then I did a rather large sick in my mouth, then I loved it again. Can someone re-edit that for me so I can watch it again? Just cut out a minute and a half, and I'll be fine with it.

Would you mind using a cut please? I'm desperate not to be spoiled.

[quinn222.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it was an accident. I opened Opera and it went to the last page I'd been on, my flist.

[ceindreadh.livejournal.com]

Out of curiousity, what 2 minutes are you referring to?
I'm just pissed that they ignored the opportunity for naked Jack ;-)

[tencrush]

Ah, yes. I forget sometimes that half my flist doesn't yet know me well enough to know that I would be referring to the two minutes on the beach, and a couple of seconds in particular.

[ceindreadh.livejournal.com]

Ugh yes.

Still, maybe this time when they say 'stranded in an alternate universe' they'll mean it.

There were moments when I loved it and moments where I, well, REALLY didn't. D:

I feel polluted.

I'm just going to focus on Jack's "I can't tell you what I'm thinkin' right now" which made me jump up and down with happy.

[fevervignettes.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That was nearly the highlight for me.

[meleth.livejournal.com]

That was so wonderful.

Russell gave the Doctor a parting gift: the chance to have to one adventure he could never have. The man is such a fucking romantic. <3 <3 <3

[qthewetsprocket.livejournal.com]

if that was a gift to anyone, it was a gift to rose, really, not the doctor...each individual element of the 'threefold man' was its own separate entity, and achieved its own sentience after being split off from the 'original'. (that's how i read it, anyway) therefore, the doctor himself isn't living a life with rose; a creature created from the union between him and donna is living that life, while the lonely god goes ever on alone in the universe.

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

Heh. He gets to both give the Doctor that happy ending AND TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM IN THE SAME MOMENT. The man's an evil genius.

I'm glad Ianto was shown to be more than just Jack's thing on the side. Gwen may have had bravado, but Ianto had the brains and knowledge of Tosh's awsome program, and he also knew how to open the rift manipulator. So, yay! Ianto and yay! Gwen

[virginhuntress.livejournal.com]

Beach thing aside, did you also notice that there was severe less pie with our dear Ianto? Were those two eps filmed at the same time???

I only ask b/c I noticed less chin and my (ever-oblivious) fiance' noticed less tummy bulge.

Hmmmmmm....

[fevervignettes.livejournal.com]

The weight did seem to jump up and down again.

[cionaudha.livejournal.com]

Okay, so that wasn't just me?

It must have been just the lighting then, making him more pie-ish? Because surely they filmed the Ianto & Gwen scenes at one go.

NOT THAT JACK WOULD NOTICE, THE NON-NOTICING S.O.B. /bitter

Jack, seriously: ask him about his day.

[fevervignettes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I commented on the weight in Stolen Earth, because he looked like he had gained A LOT OF WEIGHT, and then in Journey's end, it looked fixed again, so I thought I was imagining it until I read your comment.

(I haven't been able to watch season 2 of Torchwood yet. *SIGH*)

[love-jackianto.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how I feel about Martha and Mickey on Torchwood. I really don't want to see Torchwood become a dumping ground for Dr Who characters, but I don't want to see 'new' characters take screen-time away from the main cast either.

[cionaudha.livejournal.com]

I'm ambivalent as well. I like them, but I'd prefer to see entirely new characters in the Hub.

[love-jackianto.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I hoping that if Martha and Mickey come to Torchwood it's only as temporary characters in mini-series 3 until new characters can be brought in properly in series 4. With three ex-companions as main characters Torchwood could easily become all about the companions with Gwen and Ianto (Ianto even more so) getting pushed to the background.

while we're editing, can we cut the insulin shock kumbaya/group hug/cheesy music interlude as well?

i really don't want the mickey & martha show on TW. both have the same grating act-like-i'm-reading-an-autocue voice and as we all know, the PTB at TW can't write for ensembles for shit; so why increase the cast count to a number we know they can't handle?

then again, with only 5 Eps, how much more can they screw it over.

but the important stuff now, Tennant, no shirt... GDL, no shirt DW S5 maybe? where's the defabricator when you need it.

Then we would have missed Donna shoving Sarah Jane out of the way to get to Jack. And that was a highlight of the episode for me!

[fevervignettes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that made me way way happy.

[cionaudha.livejournal.com]

Rusty lost me at the multiple quick-fixes right at the beginning. Don't leave me screaming in cliffhangery anguish one week just to solve everything before the opening credits.

Way to make NOTHING of Gwen and Ianto's sacrifice. *scowl*

Was I wrong to hope for Jack to end up back at the Hub, BECAUSE HE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THEM MAYBE, and for Ianto to give him a hero's welcome? Jack wandering off in the park, WTF?

[love-jackianto.livejournal.com]

'Way to make NOTHING of Gwen and Ianto's sacrifice. *scowl* Jack wandering off in the park, WTF?'
Yeah, I don't think they really knew *what* to do with the Torchwood cast- Jack included. I guess RTD wanted to see how many characters he could cram into one episode.
