AAALOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
Oh, Christ I am laughing myself TO DEATH as I type this. You're so crap at ending things, Russell, it's just... it's just too funny.
AH, DAY FIVE:
GRIMNESS, DEATH, GRIM, OMGFUCKINGGRIM, MORE GRIM, JESUS HOW MUCH GRIMMER CAN THIS GET WAIT... IT'S GETTING A BIT GRATUITOUSLY GRIM NOW... LOLMOMENT... MORE GRIM AAAAAANNNNNNNND FLY AWAY INTO THE SKY!!!
That is waht I just saw. (I'm a wee bit drunk.) I take it I'm probably going to have to watch it again because all I saw was Russell kicking us in THE FAYCE with OMGMELODRAMATIC grimness and despair for 45 minutes and then some lols happened. Or something.
On a serious note, lots of people were remarking yesterday about how Ianto dies to prove a point about the sacrifices Jack has to make because of his immortal emo manpain and shit. Now I already knew about Stephen, so I didn't want to harsh those people's buzz or anything, but seriously, how many times do we have to prove the thing about Jack's immortal manpain in the space of, say 70-odd minutes? What was the point of Ianto dying again? I've forgotten. See, I'd have cared about Ianto's family just as much had he stayed alive, so that wasn't it, and apart from that... nah, I got nothing.
And then Jack flew away and I laughed and laughed and laughed at how Russell had made me care about this bullshit.
*waves at Jack*
Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out, now.
I'll make more sense when I'm sober, I promise
ETA:You know what made me laugh the most yesterday, was all these Janto fans who used that teary Jack icon from the Day Five trailer because they thought he might be crying over Ianto. I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART TO TELL THEM. I'm rly sorry about that, guys.

No. Words.

Date: 2009-07-10 09:40 pm (UTC)Oh, look, Gwen and Jack are not going to make the Jack-and-Gwen show. I can't even be glad about that.
Torchwood love affair: officially over. Dead as Ianto.

Date: 2009-07-10 09:53 pm (UTC)And I must say Lucy Cohu (the actress) was completely wasted in this role. She had the same slightly startled and mad look in her eye in every single scene. And I had liked her so much when she played Princess Margaret in the telefilm a few years ago!

Date: 2009-07-10 10:20 pm (UTC)and yes, i also watched it drunk (is there another way to watch this?), which i blame for the tears at the end (because shit - they actually killed Ianto for good) but more importantly -
what the hell happened to Myfanwy??????????????

Date: 2009-07-10 11:45 pm (UTC)that teary Jack icon
I couldn't help smiling at the same phenomenon with Rose and the Doctor's weeping XCU from Midnight. That facial expression, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Well, if anyone wants me, I'll be in my concrete bunker.
Was there a point?
Date: 2009-07-11 12:50 am (UTC)But then I thought ... was that the point? The reason the earth was nearly destroyed was so utterly pointless?
Quite a few "fail" moments for me in this.
And was RTD also trying to portray Jack as God, in that he gave his only (grand) son to save the world?
So much fail, Russell, so much fail.

Date: 2009-07-11 12:58 am (UTC)That sums it up rather nicely.
I wish I'd spoiled myself for this. I would have had the chance to skip the last episode entirely. Because I've kind of missed Rusty's lesson; I don't feel *for* Jack, I feel icked out *by* Jack.

Date: 2009-07-11 04:40 am (UTC)And even despite the fact that this story was infinitely more developed and more riveting than ANY Torchwood episode up to this point, Torchwood are STILL crap at actually being effective or solving anything except by accident, circumstance, or Jack's death.
If they revive the series it will be something completely other. They've killed the old show.
