I didn't know people were doing that. I don't really participate in fandom a lot, so that might be it, but I don't think it even occurred to me to be angry with the producers. I was incredibly upset at Ianto's death, but I don't think that anger was the chief response in my case at least. Yeah, I disagree with some things (a lot of things actually) in the last season, but it was still incredibly good television, it just wasn't very happy.

I agree. I think we just need to keep some perspective. That's mostly it right there.

I've never liked TW.

I love everything you've said here.

Hee. Thank you :)

THANK you. Yes. I spent a lot of time while doing torchwood_three this weekend skimming past what crazy I could and cringing at the rest. I've been devastated by what happened in TV shows before, and yet somehow I've managed to keep from going over the edge, you know? Come on, people, James Moran and RTD weren't put on this Earth to cater to your desires.

Off topic, but you guys deserve massive props. Fandom would fall apart without newsletters.

Sorry, behind as usual! If I'd read yours first I might not have bothered. GMTA :)

Your flist and mine don't have a lot of overlap in TW fandom, so the more the merrier, sez I.

Oh, WORD to all of this. I was so looking forward to the Comic Con panel, but now I'm getting increasingly terrified of what the other fans will be like.
