Torchwood glee

[rm]

I should do proper write-ups of all the tie-in material I've been devouring this week later, but for now, today's radio play .

OMG, that speech (which, um, sort of made me cry).
OMG, Jack delcaring his feelings.
OMG, this makes me sooooooooooooo nervous about CoE.

So, that kinda made me really happy. I'm not sure that we can extrapolate too much about CoE from it though (I'm back in "rational" mode again -- probably in a few hours I'll have another "OMG HE'S GONNA DIE" moment). We already know that there's going to be J/I development, including some sort of recognition of Jack's feelings in the new episodes, and Ianto's statement about how he's likely to die before he gets old really applies across the board.

How are you feeling about the retcon stuff now? I think it's pretty clear from this most recent play that Jack does let former lovers who know about Torchwood get away without it. Personally, I don't think he would retcon Gwen or Ianto if they ever chose to leave Torchwood.

Over the retcon thing, but once again in a tizzy about Ianto's survival because Kai Owen totally gave this interview that made it sound like Rhys survives and I can't believe both Rhys and Ianto come through this shit alive.

Yeah, I saw that too, though it's important to remember that the actors are supposed to give interviews as though their character lives. I mean, a lot of people (including myself) didn't believe the spoilers about Owen and Tosh for S2 becasue they'd both given interviews where they talked about doing S3, so really we can't count the interviews with GDL and Kai Owen very much either way -- GDL's langauge in his Digital Spy gives me hope -- he actually talks about Ianto in future tense, and talks about Ianto's story arc as one of becoming and beginnings (sorry if I'm just repeating stuff I've said at TWU here) -- which makes me feel like he's probably okay for CoE, but doomed in S4.

Ah well, in a week we will know for sure.
