Torchwood fan wibbling

[rm]

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!

I'm actually fairly calm about it. I think I've talked my way into an "I'm okay with it if he dies". Still don't quite think they will pull that trick because death is such a cheap way to do things. I read teh tracklist and read the TWU discussion and think it is probably a 'we will think he is dead' but I remember seeing Tosh getting shot without having been spoiled about it, and just sitting there and watching it, and going, 'wow, she just got shot, just like that, fuck'. So I'd be actually surprised if he died just because there is so much speculation about it. I like to think that Torchwood makes its deaths surprising with a sort of cold hand, a wrong step and not a dramatic setup (clearly my sense of dramatics is impaired if I don't count Owen's final deat has dramatic). But Tosh simply got shot, and Owen simply got shot (initially). There was no big music, there was no big 'OMG what is going to happen' it just happened.

But then - Ianto could certainly kick it, but hey, I *am* fairly calm about this, I think.
