This icon used to be just a fun I-love-my-show icon. Now I feel sad whenever I use it, because they're all dead except for Jack. Jack who had to survive them, just like he'll have to survive everyone. It's awful.

I have to remind myself now that Torchwood used to be my fun, cracktastic show. Now it's my heartbreak, clench-my-teeth-in-fearful-anticipation-whenever-there's-new-content show. :(

I have to admit, I'm angry at the Powers That Be for not having the Doctor fix Jack. I mean, undying for eternity? Nothing Jack's ever done could make him deserve that hell.

I guess they wanted to keep him a superhero. But I bet they also wanted to keep the opportunity for Etreme!!!!Angst. I'd like to think he can eventually find some kind of zen peace with his situation - he's got forever - but I don't see it happening while he works for/is Torchwood.

My personal fanon is that either the Doctor or Jack will eventually figure it out. Because I don't think the alternative is eventual zen peace, I think it's eventual madness.

But...This is why I *love* Jack.

I think there's something wrong with me.

You love his sexy manpain?

[identity profile] taffimai.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
*gasps in shock* No. Say it ain't so.

I am uncertain of his manpain.

[identity profile] taffimai.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Good point. I mean, there's tons of trauma but psychopaths are a gray area in the manpain.

Besides, you probably have enough sexy mainpain beasts.

I do not know if this is possible.

You'll be in trouble if they start rationing.

Whoa, they killed everyone off? What's the point of that?

[identity profile] taffimai.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oops. Sorry, didn't mean to spoil you. But since I have ... they didn't kill everyone off. That icon is of Jack, Suzie, Owen, and Toshiko. Suzie died in series one, episodes one and eight. Owen died in series two, episodes six and thirteen. Toshiko died in series two, episode thirteen. Going into series three, Torchwood Cardiff is Jack, Ianto, and Gwen.

And you know it's science fiction because two thirds of the fallen members had to die twice before it took.

Ah, I don't mind being spoiled. :)

I was never a big Owen fan, but that's so awful about Tosh!!

[identity profile] taffimai.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, her death was just heart breaking. Apparently none of the actors could rehearse it.

As for Owen, you might find yourself liking him more if you see the entire arc. He's still a bastard, but by the end he's OUR bastard, you know?

I definitely need to catch up with this show!

[identity profile] taffimai.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, you do! Let me know if you need download links.

[identity profile] fridge-buzz-now.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, but I know of a couple of sites where I can just stream it. I'll let you know once I get started. I've only seen season 1.

Btw, nice icon!

[identity profile] taffimai.livejournal.com 2009-01-26 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Season two is pretty good. I think you'll enjoy it.

Isn't it a nice icon? Jack is so modest ...

It took me a moment to work out who that must be in the photo that they'd all be dead apart from Jack, but - wow. Yeah! They are!

That's kind of scary.

It is! Poor Jack.
