Torchwood Children of Earth: Day Four reconsidered...

[fajrdrako]

Earlier today I posted about Torchwood Children of Earth Day Four.

I said I thought the odds of Ianto's survival and coming back tomorrow were about 51 in favour to 49 against.

The more I think about it, the more I think he's dead and he won't come back. Now I think the odds are 90% in favour of his being dead for good.

No sense guessing, I know. We'll find out tomorrow.

Gad, I love this show.

I don't know about loving it, it's driving me nuts!

I'm not sure I like being so emotionally manipulated. :-(

Though I did like Ianto's chatting with Jack when he was in a trance in the last radio play -- and what Jack said when he woke up. I just really wasn't expecting all this closeness and lovingness and specialness with Jack/Ianto to turn into a death scene. A bit toooo manipulative rather than fun, if you know what I mean? To heat up/sentimentalize the relationship just to kill it off? Not well done.

I guess we'll see. I really want to watch the last ep tonight!!! Guest or not! (this is the other guest, though she sat and watched with us too last night...)

I didn't feel manipulated because I was enjoying it all so much. Different people, different reactions! One doesn't feel manipulated when it's all good.

I do think I would have liked to see more sentiment in the Jack/Ianto relationship at a much earlier point in the series - early in series 2, maybe.
