Torchwood: Exit Wounds

[butterfly]

Ow. My heart got just a bit ripped out there.

I started crying when Owen demanded to be given one good reason why he shouldn't scream his way into the grave and Tosh said, "Because you're breaking my heart," and then I continued weeping on and off until the ending.

I wish that Tosh and Owen hadn't died, but, oh, those were really good deaths. Earned, powerful deaths.

Fantastically, painfully done. Two thumbs up to Chris Chibnall, who has been absolutely on the ball with all of his episodes this series.

All of the characters were amazing this episode -- our mains and all the secondaries as well. Gwen was so good, strong but with her uncertainties and still needing the people who love her to give her support.

Jack has been forced to have so much practice with forgiveness. And if Jack had ever been questioning just why the Doctor found losing the Master so painful, this episode would have shown him exactly why.

Ianto had the least to do, but I felt his presence acutely in all of his scenes.

Tosh and Owen broke my hearts, but I've said that already. And we got canon on the 'doctor' Sato in Doctor Who -- she was covering for Owen! Perfect and lovely and... oh, Tosh.

I love this show and these people so much.

I did too. Man I can't really be coherent right now. This is exactly what I want from this show. And if Owen and Tosh had to die, I'd want it like that: Tosh because she's brave and strong and Owen being the git he often is until someone he loves pulls him out of his seflishness for just one minute.

Though I'm wary about replacements. I kinda hope that Jack avoids it for awhile. And I really can't wait to see why he's on Doctor Who - I was so happy that he didn't run away like I fear he would have.

I just watched it and... I'm irrationally angry.

Angry because Tosh was underused throughout the course of both series, and angry because Owen had become this big ball of awesomesauce this series and had become one of my favorite characters.

And they're gone? Ouch. And it sucks. And... I'm gonna go pout for a while.

I hate to say it but I do feel it was the right time for this to happen.

It was written really well and acted beautifully and made me cry a lot, I've not cried like that since "Doomsday"

I still want my magic Tosh/Owen are back fix but that's just because the show made me love them so much.

And I so need a OT3 icon for Jack/Ianto/Gwen from this ep, if anyone sees one send it my way

I loved that. And everything else. :'(

I feel so sad about Tosh, brave little Tosh. Rolling down the stairs, not telling Owen she is dying too. Tosh makes me cry.

They could have let her lived. Jake could have found her in time.

What got to me even more than the death scenes was the very last bit with Jack practically clinging to Gwen and Ianto. I think my heart's broken more times for Jack more than any other fictional character.
