All of this is behind a cut since it talked about HUGE SPOILERS FOR TORCHWOOD THROUGH CofE Ep 5



I've been staying spoiler free but I had one thing I had every intention of spoiling myself on. Was Ianto alive at the end? Months and months ago I heard the rumour that Ianto was going to die in this series and Jack was going to take off at the end. I was hoping it was not true but now it is becoming more and more likely it is true. I presume Jack will be back but unless The Doctor manages some sort of re-set that's it for Ianto.

I watch for Ianto and Ianto only.

I can't help but think BBC has screwed itself with this scheduling. If this is true and RTD has indeed fucked over his show then I doubt his US fans will bother with it on BBC America. I had every intention of watching it (of course) and have been talking it up to everyone I know who doesn't watch it to make sure they tuned in. Now I've already cancelled my DVD order (I can always re-order if this turns out to be fake) and am not going to tune in and and will tell all those folks I was talking it up to not to bother after all.

The thing is a lot of folks are saying it can't be true because no one gets the DVDs early. I am here to tell you thet tons of people get DVDs early every single week. They are shipped to the retailers one week before the release date. I have no doubt at all that there are lots of people out there with the DVDs in hand today.

So I'm really pissed off and sad. Another show wrecked, another gay couple off the air. First Donna and now Ianto. I'll never watch anything RTD has his hand on again if this pans out.

At Torchsong, on chat, JB was so adamant that people would be really, really happy w/ the way Jack and Ianto developed. I would really like to believe that he's not that big of a bullshitter. He came across as very clear on that. But yeah, Randall and I have both said that if this happens, we are done with committing to any television series.

They lie like dogs!

The guys who spoiled Tosh and Owen being slaughtered last
season (with every detail right), spoiled Ianto's death
months and months ago -- even when TPTB denied it up and
down. I knew they were right -- they've always been right.

The conspiracy theory is that the Beeb wanted a show in
which GWEN was the STAR. And that's what they got.

Gag.

This saves me laying out cash for over-priced DVDs.

Oh, I know, I saw the spoilers ages ago when they first came out. i have a really hard time reconciling the bald faced lying that went on. Recuse yourself and say something neutral, but don't actively lie; that's my beef with Barrowman.

While rebuilding the bj fic archive, had been toying with the idea of a TW archive while I was at it. Um, maybe not.

You recced me some Torchwood fics and I bookmarked
them. Last night I deleted the bookmarks. I don't
want any part of another fucked up fandom.

Torchwood for me is all about Jack and Ianto. I have no intention of watching the Gwen show.

Yea, I hate to be spoiled for TW and SPN. I enjoy them more that way but it's been pretty hard to ignore those rumors. Add me to the list of people who will tune out if Ianto dies. I adore Jack but TW is Janto is why I watch.

God, I hope RTD is not stupid enough to pull this on us. He has to know that he already got his one major screw up in when he killed Tosh and Owen.
