I've been waiting for today for what feels like forever.
I felt almost cruel lurking while the unspoiled were still in their happy places.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Austin, I agree. It has been like reliving the upsetting nature of the mini-series all over again.

“Not dead yet!”

The upside of being a writer-- I may want to kick his ass, but I understand why he did it and I might have done the same damned thing myself.
Still... Russell, you bastard.

Me, too!
(Unrelated to Barb: I met a writer at dinner tonight who knows you through RWA -- Liz Bemis. My world is too, too, TOO freaking small.)

Yeah, the name's definitely familiar. I know she was a Golden Heart (unpublished author) finalist this year. Wow. Seriously small world.

I want my Ianto back!!!!!! I would have much rather that he killed off Gwen, frankly. Mostly because of the hot gay sex aspect to be honest.

She was talking about something something awards, something something romance, and she had previously said she was a writer, and so I butted in at an appropriate break and asked, "Were you at RWA?"
And she gave me the look of I-didn't-expect-you-to-ask-that-since-you're-in-a-whole-other-sphere-of-my-life, and said, "Yeah."
So I said I knew you, but identified you as Barb [lastname], and she gave me a blank look, so I said that you wrote Adios, and she said, "Oh! Caridad [lastname]! Oh yeah, I've met her!"
Freaky small world.
Anyway. Back to Torchwood and the Minear-ing of Ianto.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I went to TWOP to see their reaction to Ianto's demise, and people are pissed, man. Never watching anything RTD again pissed.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Ianto is dead and the planet is dooooomed.
This is brutally awesome.
