I swear, it's a conspiration.

All my shows have banded together on a mission to BREAK MY HEART.


I'll write something more coherent when the worst shock has faded. For now, I just want to say this:



Owen Harper. Toshiko Sato. Rest in Peace.

I know!! I was so not expecting their deaths! I thought both actors did absolutely brilliantly, for the whole of this season, but most especially in this final episode. Owen going mad when he's locked in the nuclear power plant and Tosh brokenly saying "you're breaking my heart" was utterly perfect. The final scenes with Jack, Ianto, & Gwen all trying to find the strength to keep moving forward were fantastic too. In fact, the whole episode was a wonderful mix of action and emotion. The Jack/John scenes sparkled & I loved Ianto being all angry at John for taking Jack.

I thought the whole of this season has been wonderful. So much better than season 1 both in terms of plot and character development. I can't wait for season 3!

I love Torchwood so much! I can't think of any other show that could've handled their deaths better. I never saw it coming! I was just so ridiculously happy that Ianto survived and then they had to throw that at me!!! And she never told him she was dying too!

Yup, still a little incoherent. I'm going to have to write something, I think.

All I need now is for Supernatural to send Dean to hell in the season finale...

I know! It was so sad - they were closer to each other when they were dying than at any other time. *sniffs*

The whole episode was handled pretty much perfectly. Whatever will happen next?!

I'm going to have to write something, I think.

Yay!

And there's no afterlife in the tw-verse so I can't even pretend they're happy together in heaven! *wails*

I can't even think about what's going to happen next. They're going to have to bring in someone to replace them and I don't want that!

Is it normal to mourn fictional characters this much?

Oh God, I really loved that episode with all its emotion and action and torchwood'yness. And when Tosh couldn't save Owen in the nuclear station and how they never really got together and when Tosh said "you're breaking my heart..." snap. I really wasn't expecting Tosh to die, it came as a total surprise to me at the end...

I can't think of a better season ending but I really will miss them both so much, but it makes you wonder who's next, because they're all living on borrowed time in some way or another...

I'm going to miss them so much! I didn't even like Owen until he died the first time and just when I was beginning to appreciate him, they had to kill him again! And Tosh, oh I'm going to miss her so much!

I don't want to know who's next. I just hope it isn't Ianto, because that would really break my heart.

I know what you mean about Owen, but I knew on some level that it would be just a matter of time before he died for real - although it didn't make it any easier when it happened. The death of Tosh really shocked me, and especially by how emotional it was.

At the end of the episode actually, I began to wonder whether John would become a season 3 regular - which could lead to some more Jack/Ianto moments...;)

I know, if there was someone who didn't deserve to die it was Tosh!

I'm not sure I want Captain John to be a regular.... He's okay in small doses but I don't think I could stand him full time.
