So many particulars. So many questions.
as is quite logical.

Anyone else suddenly a little suspicious of the governments announcement today that that will be vaccinating us all against swine flu, and it seems a lot of countries will be following suite
that's it, we'll all be hooked up to some aliens before we know it!!

Hardly getting over it.
She looks distractingly like 'Supernanny'
She looks more like a cheap knock-off of Officer Aeryn Sun from "Farscape", but with smaller testicles.

One of the writers has had to issue a rebuttal to some of the more hysterical 'fan' criticism of the series:
Sounds like there are some right nutters out there

a few very large plot holes, but wtf? Just done the lot over two nights and shocked at the humungous improvement in quality, proper good telly. It's astounding what a difference some decent actors, a well developed script, and no crap sex, can make.
The idea of the vile Owen gurning his way through that series would have been unbearable to watch. And whilst I liked Ianto's character, he had absolutely zero chemistry with Jack, and that whole part of it didn't really work at all.
roll on the next series!

I think they should leave it there and go out on a high note. Knowing when to move on is important. Don't let it fizzle out like so many American shows.

I'm tempted to send him a link to the 'Duty Log Mental' section of Holy Moly! to demonstrate that the people who were writing about 'even that I'm hurting depressed people with dark storylines. ' are actually fucking fruitloops.

Some people are just dumb though.
You don't want red top syndrome where only unimportant people die as where is the excitement, the risk if you know all your favs are untouchable.
I love a series where anyone could get it. It means it's a real adventure and seat edge show when you know they are all truly in danger.

Yup, but the internet is full of crazy shit about Torchwood. They are mad that 3 main characters were killed in the space of 5 episodes. (Tosh and Owen in the S2 finale and Ianto in Ep 4 of CoE.)
There are people claiming that the gay community will now be boycotting all of Davies work as killing Ianto betrayed his and Jack's love and was really a self-hating homophobic move.
People who have had enough of all the dark stories about the weakness of humans and want to have a happy ending "for a change."

It's a pretty strained link, tbf.Btw i've just started watching The Thick of It on the basis of this series.
Still, there are worse things to do than watch Capaldi's 'filmography'.

I'll admit, it was the Obama-style photoshop earlier in this thread that was largely responsible.

If these people are meant to be Torchwood fans then why don't they understand one of the show's prevalent themes - that part of the great sadness Jack carries with him is down to the fact he outlives everyone who is special to him. And that to bring that fact into sharp focus, sometimes the writers are going to have to kill off those near and dear to him.

Yep. I really hate 'fans' who think fictional characters are somehow their own personal property. Grow up, you daft cunts.

ennit. Write some fanfic if you want a say over what characters do (and aren't blessed with even the tiniest scrap of self awareness)

after its biggest ratings success by far? no chance. and it would be a waste to get rid just as its started becoming actually good

Was killing Tosh and Owen a self hating hetrosexual move then?
Sorry but if you bring characters into a story where people die left right and centre don't be surprised if they die. Being gay doesn't give you a special bullet proof vest. Gay, straight we're all the same. If you shoot us do we not bleed? Down with positive discrimination for gay characters. Up with killing anyone regardless of sexuality, creed or colour.
So long as they don't die of too much bumming or something homophobic then they should be glad of the equality. He died a hero and a martyr. That's a positive portrayal of homosexuals for a change isn't it?
Besides Ianto wasn't gay. He didn't fancy men. Just Jack. He said so himself.

Didn't Tosh have at least one girl-girl moment iirc? Not sure about Owen, although he seemed pretty keen to fuck anything that moved didn't he?
