I'm going to stay here on the denial bench for a while.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Our wings are not tired.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As evidenced by my use of the word "apparent" I'm evidently still in denial. And I intend to remain there for the next little while. Although time is running out.

Day 5: I hate them, I hate them, I hate them. I guess it's all done for, then.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Day 5:
Okay, so if their goal was to make me never want to watch Jack Harkness again, they succeeded. Jesus Christ.

It was pretty harsh. They narratively boxed him into a flobotinum corner. Why????

And Ianto had to die because he never would have let Jack get away with that shit. And apparently to give Jack more angst. Whatever. Fuck Jack's angst.
God, I'm angry. I'm not sure I ever feel like a show I love has literally been destroyed while I was watching.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hm. Maybe I'll skip watching this and allow myself to pretend it never happened.

Compassionately intolerant
I've only seen the first 10 minutes on youtube but I have to say...and I'm tempted to use a word I pretty much never say...but Jack is wussiest of wussies (okay, I couldn't bring myself to use the actual word) in a way that pulls the rug out from under the entire series. How could they do that? It just doesn't make any sense, unless they wanted to help us grieve for the end of the show by making us not give a crap. Or worse, be glad it's over .
From the comments, I'm not sure I'll watch the rest.

Is the show over? I don't even know. Was this the swan song, or will there be another season?
