In which Rosianna reviews the week of Torchwood WITH MANY SPOILERS. I didn't get the chance to go into as much depth as I'd like, but perhaps later.

Torchwood finaly grew up and became the show it was going to be.

"Just kill off Rhys instead" - EXACTLY my reaction to Ianto's death.

I've only just got to watch it because I've been away, so I watched all five episodes in one go. Oh dear Lord, it was absolutely traumatising. I think my heart may have broken a tiny bit.

I agree with what you said about it being a bit like Midnight...it shows the human race doing whatever they need to to save their own skins from a situation they don't really understand.

Great review

=D

You look AMAZING with brown hair! OMG

@democrat1515 Cant agree enough his death was the biggest dissapoitment of the show

[Ultravis66]

Ok, so I am an American, and my cousin recommended that I watch dr who and torchwood after but he warned me not to watch children of the earth because he was mentally disturbed for weeks after seeing it.

I think Ianto should have, if at all, died incredibly heroically. It seems like he died for completely no reason. I am ok when a character in a TV show I love dies, just as long as he/she dies for a reason.

Wait....when was your hair BROWN?! I don't really like Torchwood....sorry....

[Koejopley]

I LOVE your accent (for americans like myself it's an accent) and it's mesmerizing!

I'm gona use it as background noise for when i mediate, I mean Mitigate, no medicate, ahhh muticate... no that's not it either... meditate. yea, Meditation. it's very soothing.

O'm, enthroalling british accent, O'm, enraptureing accent O'm, Zzzzzzzzzz

[moonkittenlunasky]

the whole thing was disturbing but i only cried when ianto died even though it at actually been spoiled for me earlier it was still so sad :(

they could have kept him alive and left him with gwen and have only jack go to the building or something!! but no, they just HAD to have a reason for jack to leave, which i guess makes sense but still i mean they spent two whole seasons developing these characters and now the only one who's going to be on the next season is jack! :(

@hollabooiers ... a rather bold thing to do in a series.

That was badly phrased and probably not particularly interesting to anyone but me, but what the hell. I never looked at it like that before.

[hollabooiers]

You know, watching this I realized something I never really thought of before. A lot of Torchwood (and CoE especially of course) is really really traumatizing and horrible and sad, but I never really realized how innovative that all is. As in, in a way it's all TOO much, it gets so depressing you don't want to watch anymore, but I honestly cannot think of another series where they'd actually go as far as doing all that. Maybe I just don't watch enough TV, but to me it seems like...
