'but FFS I question the idea that anyone else is disposable and must therefore be exterminated.' I hate to pose such a newbie question, but what was FFS mean? I think it's not a good idea. If characters become nothing but cannon fodder (except for the untouchable leads) than no one is going to care when they get killed. I know I don't care anymore.
'Oh joy! Here we've got two extremely boring, dull, cardboard, 2D characters: super Gwen having everything going her way no matter what happens because "you cannot 'rape' Snow White" and immortal shallow Jack jumping from tragedy to 'let me entertain you' with my irresistible charm as I molest the next boy toy (while I really ache for the true love that is Gwen).' Boring sounds about right. When I heard about RTD's Snow White comment and I thought 'so for everyone else Torchwood is a Greek tragedy, but for Gwen it's a fairy tale?'
' Are they going to have a bunch of lame red shirts to support them, lame being the key word so that we don't fall in love with them like we did with Ianto?' I know I won't be getting attached to any new Torchwood characters.
