I'd been wondering what you thought of it all, I'm glad you posted!
I think I'm slowing coming to terms with CoE, but for me too, the biggest problem is timing. It would have been such an appropriate ending to the whole show. And even though I'm getting used to Ianto's death now, I still can't quite be OK with it.
I'm looking forward to that novel, I have to say - and I've never been tempted to read one the Torchwood novels before.
I know I won't resist the tentation of watching series 4 if there ever is one and will keep on being active in the fandom, read fics and stuff!
Same! When it first happened I thought I could never read fic or watch any more Torchwood again, but reading fic is helping me heal, and I could never leave this awesome fandom. Not yet, anyway.
Well fandom went a bit crazy so I wanted things to calm down beofre posting my review.
Yeah, I'm still not okay with Ianto's death either. The only way RTD could convince me to watch TW again would be to make a sort of "Captain Jack's adventures" or something. As I said, Ianto's death meant the end of TW for me (or at least as we know it) so I don't want Jack to come back to Cardiff. I want a kind of new show based on the same principles but with a new concept.
Honestly, some Torchwood novels are quite good. I never was tempted to read them but a fried of mine offered me "Twilight Streets". I read it in 3 hours flat and quite liked it. It's good fic and meta material! ^^
Also, I realised something that made me laugh: instead of complaining that RTD has killed a gay character, fandom should complain that London has killed a Welsh man! :P
Yay! Glad you're staying in the fandom too! ^^ (also, I can read your review for ep 5 now)
I hope Jack doesn't come back to Cardiff. I think that would be the hardest thing to watch. I could even handle a show where Gwen rebuilds Torchwood if Jack wasn't there. But I'd rather see more of Jack ;)
Maybe I'll try and find the novels online, once I've had my fill of fix-it and missing scene fics. I have listened to one of the audiobooks (The Sin Eaters, read by GDL), and I quite liked that, probably because it was read by GDL though - and YES, how dare they kill off those beautiful Welsh vowels?
