Children of Earth... again.

[tencrush]

I still hold out a tiny bit of hope that I'm wrong in saying that thing I've been saying for the past six months, but then Amazon starts advertising this really quite spoilerrific Torchwood soundtrack and I get all down again. Ummm... it's a combination of all this "Fallen/Good Man/Sacrifice" stuff in the song titles and the fact that "The Ballad of Ianto Jones" is well over four minutes long, and the longest track on the album. And not exactly upbeat. Though, looking at it again... I still think there might be a slim chance it's not death, but voluntary retcon.

I really hope it isn't true, but if it is I will say I told you so for ever and ever.

Through my tears, obviously.

Pls pls pls let "The Ballad of Ianto Jones" have ridiculous "Ballad of Jayne" type lyrics. In Welsh.

Yeah. What you said. The symbol ridden picture. That track way down at the end.

I guess we can hope for a magic reset button. Or one of those sarcophagus dealies from Stargate.

I'm sorry.

I AM DED OF THE DYINGNESS.

I saw/heard that last night just before I turned in, then couldn't fucking sleep because some fictional character is maybe biting the big one. Hold me, Tencrush.

I like the way it sounds: sad but strong. I love that deep twangy guitar, whatever that sound is called.

voluntary retcon

OMG. That gives me chills.

I interpreted the ballad as part of the awaited family!emo, the 'He was a good man' makes me nervous, though...

[urnssadomen.livejournal.com]

The Ballad is not very down in the bottom, so I recon it's probably some nice moments with Jack/family etc. If they were going to kill him, they would do it in the end. As for "He was a good man", I'm guessing that's for Mr. Frobisher.

As a side note, if there is a season 4, I would really like to see a breakup between those two. Somehow, compare to Tosh and Owen, those two's relationship has been developed a bit too smooth. (Indeed, I read too much fanfic.)

OMG!

PLEASE oh PLEASE!

SOBS!

And I live in the damned USA so I won't see it til it hits dvd most likely.

SOBS!

Oh my spoilers much in the song titles.

So those are the only spoilers I've looked at, and yet I find myself completely agreeing with you.

RTD is a one-trick pony, alas.

At least I won't have to wait for series 4, if there is a series 4, because if Ianto does die than I'm done with the show.

[mellacita.livejournal.com]

Ianto gets a ballad, someone was a good man, and someone at the end can run forever. Presumably Jack, unless Ianto becomes a data ghost or Astrid or something. Ha. Worrying.

Although I think that we may find it is Rhys who was a good man. I'm pretty sure he's toast. Pretty sure Ianto is, too, though. Maybe they were both good men. Sigh.

[coffee-kris.livejournal.com]

Dammit, today I had convinced myself Ianto wasn't going to die because GDL is so clearly *not* working (just attending cons and biding his time until Series 4, probably eating more than his share of pie, ahem) and then you go and post this. SIGH. Now I'm going to pay money to own a soundtrack that probably foretells the death of my favorite character. Dammit! They've really got me.

I adore you but I'm really hoping your prediction is wrong and I can come here and tell you so. ;-) With all love and affection.

They're just making up for a lack of Ianto tracks on the first sountrack. Yeah.

I'm totally deluding myself, aren't I?

[virginhuntress.livejournal.com]

God, I want to see this series so bad, but know I AM SO gonna regret it in a way.

Stupid fandom, breaking my heart.

I'm holding on to the theory that though he might kick the bucket in a heroic and self sacrificing kind of way, he will have an amazing resurrection at the end and there will be hugs and kisses all around, and perhaps shagging into the sunset....

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Thank god UKers can give me fair warning so I can prepare myself mentally.
