Torchwood: Children of Earth | Day Four

[thescarletwoman]

I'm going into this knowing what happens. here's hoping I can get through this. I doubt it, though.

• 1965 Scotland.
  
• *heart breaks seeing GDL's name*
  
• I will say -- Jack looks great like that in the '60s hairstyles.
  
• FUCK YOU JOHN FRY.
  
• "someone who doesn't care" *shiver* "Just come with Uncle Jack". I... do love this side of him, I'm sorry to admit. I love Jack just... the bad side of his past.
  
• And the look on his face when the light goes.
  
• IANTO!
  
• And Clem shooting Jack... *sniffle* And Ianto going to him. :^( And cradling him. And Jack clinging to Ianto.
  
• "This is normal". bwah. this is normal.
  
• Though, seriously, when would Jack have a reason to mention this?
  
• The man who can't die DOES have something to fear. Losing his lover.
  
• Jack is SO cold in this. And I still... love him. ><
  
• *glares at the 456 for good measure*
  
• *steals one of those suits for our boy*
  
• FUCKING CREEPY ALIEN
  
• THREE HEART BEATS! *coff* The Doctor plus one?
  
• O.O child? holy crap.
  
• Oh fucking CREEEPY. I think I'm going to say that a lot during this.
  
• Oh Jack. The consequences of your actions. *still loves you tho*
  
• Why yes, yes they have had dealings. WHOOPS! SURPRISE!
  
• *wibble* Oh god. This Janto scene will be transcribed later. And Jack that is not the way to tell your lover about your daughter and granddaughter.
  
• Jack threatening. Blah-blah. Sorry... I'm out of it. I'm just waiting for the ending.
  
• Fucking PM.
  
• God he's fucking hot in that suit.
  
• *shiver* where to get the kids from. HARSH.
  
• Frobisher, you bastard. That's all.
  
• Compromises. *shudder*
  
• 325000. o.O Oh. The number of kids. Oh WOW.
  
• This is so WONDERFULLY dark and creepy.
  
• This? The talk of how to get the kids? Is so cold. And the woman is a bitch. LESS SOCIALLY USEFUL? homg.
  
• FUCK. Ianto putting the gun in his back? HOT!
  
• Go away, Lois. We don't want you and you're not Ianto2. Go away.
  
• BWAH! The official secrets act. Go Ianto. And yes, Harkness IS nearby. *sniffle* And Ianto telling his family he loves him. GOD. *SOB*
  
• A bit late for inocculations.
  
• Jack & Jones. Running off together. One last run. ♥
  
• bwah. "You and whose army." "Torchwood."
  
• FUCK THAT WAS HOT. "Jack Harkness. Ianto Jones. We're Torchwood." *slam guns down* mmmmmmmm. fucking hot.
  
• Very, very nice Gwen.
  
• Mmmm. Jack ordering folks around. LOVE it.
  
• GET OUT OF THERE IANTO NOW.
  
• Oh god. The two of you together. And the banter. at last. I'm sorry, John. I love you? But this is not the Janto we wanted.
  
• "The fight begins". Fucking ominous music.
  
• NONONONONONONO. Sonic screwdriver now. Stat.
  
• VIRUS. NO!
  
• Oh Ianto. Oh, OH ianto. AND JACK.
  
• "You are dying even now."
  
• Clem.
  
• OH GOD. the look on Jack's face. And Ianto. OH GOD.
  
• NONONONONO!
  
• Clem bleeding from the ears. Goodbye Clem. ♥
  
• FUCKER IN THE HAZMAT SUIT.
  
• Oh god. It's Trace Memory all over again.
  
• Promising to remember him. Oh my god. FUCK OFF AND DIE RTD. I don't care if I sound like an entited fan. FUCK OFF AND DIE. "Don't leave me, please." Just. god.
  
• Oh. The. Kiss.
  
• That was... amazing. Absolutely amazing. And beautiful. And RTD I hate you.
  
• And Gwen going to the body bags. Jack first. And I don't want to see Ianto in the bodybag. I really don't. Nope.
  
• OH GOD. *sobbing again*
  
• And the light breath in when he comes back.
  
• I hate you auntie beeb. I knew it was coming, and I hate you.
  

OMG! WAIT! Gwen speaks the last night "Is there nothing we can do?" AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE! We all learned from HP land when Sirius got killed by drapes. Remus manages a "There's nothing we can do, he's gone." WE DON"T HAVE THAT HERE. *holds ontohope*

And point of fact? Gwen is not standing alone. So maybe Jack buggers off, because right now it's just her and Jack. Jack goes off to find a way to bring him back!

I'm still praying for the reset. Or something. I have a million and one theories of how we can get him back.

1. Rizen mitten!
2. Reset button.
3. bring him back. The tears in jack's eyes at the end of that are good tears. Because it's Ianto back.
4. IT WAS ALL A DREAM. Dallas did it. So did Newhart!
5. A reset in Who that fixes CoE.

All I have to say is that John said that Janto fans would love this series. Killing off half of the relationship does not make us love it. It makes us cry and drink and not eat a thing in the evening. So, does that mean he IS coming back and were they fucking with us with the continuation of the synopsis in the spoiler post?

Beccause of all things -- day 5's sounded a bit more non-plausible.

Also, as Kris just pointed out to me -- Jack's slight breath in was like he was easing into life. Could it be something in the air? And maybe he'll be back? Or as I'm thinking -- Jack was dying when he kissed Ianto. So maybe it takes longer for the life force to come back, sorta like with Abaddon.

Fucking foreshadowing between The Dead Line and the earlier episodes. We haven't had day 5 yet. That's all I'm holding out for right now.

Exactly. I've done nothing but cry, smoke, and drink.

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

I'm doing the same sans the smoking.

I have the speculations as to what could happen. I just... if they thought we'd be happy with the "I love you", yes? But not at the expense of his life.

I'll set up the bar. Come drink with me.

I gave up smoking and don't like alcohol, but I think all my hard work at the gym has been undone by the chocolate I've hate. A few more hours to go, and if those spoilers are real, then we can officially say that they are really on crack.

I, on the other hand, have not drank or smoked because I do neither (alcohol makes me too dizzy and smoking + asthma = hello?) but instead inhaled frozen yogurt, chocolate candies, a couple of waffles for good measure, some Kathy Griffin because she makes me laugh, and then still just keep on the verge of tears when not outright crying again.

This is totally not going to make us love it, yeah. I have many hopes that they're just totally manipulating us to make us desperate to watch tomorrow, kind of gutpunch us in case the blowing-up-Jack didn't get through enough to those jaded with Jack's deaths.

FIX IT! FIX IT!!!

Damn right! He looked great in the flashbacks.

Now, I'm going to go wallow in my own heart break a little bit longer :D I need to find something happy and smutty and fluffy to read.

And the light breath in when he comes back.

On my second viewing, that was the detail that broke my heart the most. He wakes up, and you can see the moment he remembers what has just happened. *CRIES*

[pocky_slash.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Ianto is the only character on that frigging show that I like anymore (Conman!Jack > broody!leader!Jack, always) and after I sobbed and sobbed like a baby (I am hormonal and depressed and PMS-y to begin with), I began to wonder if I had it in me to keep watching if this doesn't get fixed. IT HAS TO GET FIXED. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS. IT'S NOT FAIR!

pocky_slash is the best username ever.

this is the saddest thing that's happened ever.

And the light breath in when he comes back

That killed me. I love these two so much and you're right if they thought we'd be so ecstatic about this series...well you're wrong! Killing off one of the main reasons why we watch the show is not going to make us love this.

Love the speculations and hope one of them is true or something. But you're right too on the Doctor part, I was like will someone please call Martha Jones and tell her to call the Doctor ASAP, fuck her honeymoon...lol.

If there is a Series 4 without Gareth...I don't want to watch.

:sigh: goes off to cry a bit more.

i'm holding out for a man in a big blue box who has to sort the mess out

[wakeupem.livejournal.com]

I refuse to accept this into Torchwood canon. *makes up her own ending*

[technobabbled.livejournal.com]

*hands vodka*

Seriously. I think killing off any of the original main cast was a bad idea at the end of this series. Ianto was my favourite, but I'd have been upset if we'd lost Gwen too.

I think I've possibly said this to you already, but they really should've waited another series. At least.
