I expected hoped to be waking up all happy and bouncy today.
Not so much. It's always so sad when a show you've loved ends forever.
Especially when it's done in such a stupid way. I can't believe how many people are fawning over james Moran and others on their blogs about how 'brilliant' it was. It wasn't brilliant, it was stupid. Technically well done stupidity but stupid nonetheless.
How, exactly, did the 456 know they could get high from kids in 1965? Just a wild guess? were there some secret stoner 456 here already who figured it out?
Why bother negotionating? They could control and stop the kids, why not just beam them up in their golden transport beam?
No one from 1965 ever worried they mnight be back and did any research into how to stop them?
Jack and Ianto knew they were facing a creature in a poison tank, but didn't take gas masks or hazmat suits?
Torchwood and Jack in particular came across as feeble and useless. Remember that classic scene in Indiana Jones? Where the guy goes off on Indy with a knife and Indy just shoots him? That just what the 456 did to Jack and Ianto.
Ianto gets set up as The Queer. Of course The Queer must die. Fuck you RTD.
Seriously. We all know how clever and amazing Ianto is but the shiny new audience has no clue. His sister called him Bender, his BIL called him gay boy and told him he 'takes it up the ass', he finds them a place to stay and goes shopping (if they had had another day or two would we have seen him buying curtains and decorating the place?) and Clem calls him The Queer. Then he gets gassed. Subtle. Really subtle. How about a pink triangle on his body bag?
Martha has a phone to call The Doctor but I guess she couldn't be arsed to take a few minutes from her honeymoon.
Oh, and I said this in the comments but editing to add here:
It would have been laughable if it wasn't so annoying. Ms. Super Cooper (the least experience TW member and incompetent extraordinaire) has to teach Jack how to steal a laptop or a car? Jack, who has been a con-man for 2000 years and has stolen spaceships in his time??? Or Ianto, with his mispent youth? Give me a break.
Oh hey, at least I saved some money. I canceled my DVD order and I was shopping for a new HD TV. Since I no longer have any TV shows I watch guess I can put that on hold.
Is there anyone still unspoiled out there? I'm tired of putting everything behind a cut.
