Just listened to the Torchwood audiobook In the Shadows and man, was that ridiculous and satisfying.

But then! Someone had to go and link me to this: http://tinyurl.com/l8u2nu which arguably contains implied spoilers for Children of Earth that are really fucking distressing even if I've been saying for months that Ianto is not going to die and the rumour mongering is just the usual fan wank and drama.

Really, it's so ridiculous. Hello, I went through the Snape thing. I was ready for that. I'm only bummed his death wasn't more epic (snake bubble to the head? really?). But Ianto! Not my favorite character, but the one it would definitely break my heart to see go. I'd analyze that for you all, but it's so hardly necessary I'd like to pretend to keep my dignity on the subject, but NOW I'M REALLY FUCKING FREAKED. And can't, apparently, stop listening to really depressing stuff on last.fm.

Trauma!

*sticks fingers in ears and goes "la la la la, I can't hear you."*

with that bit of maturity out the way: Not only was Snape's death gratuitous (if telegraphed), it MADE NO SENSE. He's a frigging POTIONS MASTER who's been working around a giant frigging snake for MONTHS. And who has, in fact, previously constructed the SPECIFIC antivenin for THIS snake, because he bloody well fed it to Arthur Weasley two books ago. He REALLY doesn't have a holdout vial? Come ON.

ARGH!! Apologies, but I just HATE laziness that creates plot holes of that size.

I don't know why I am trying to be fail to Rowling here, but having analyzed that really bad scene repeatedly, I think she was trying to insist that the gaping wounds, neck artery and windpipe removal are what killed him rather than the poison. Nonetheless, OMG THE STUPID IT BURNS LIKE VENOM.
