Because when you're sleeping four hours a night, sweet heaven, do you need physical comfort. Which is why this was soul-sucking when I was single in 2003/4 and why it's grueling now with Patty away. This is totally doable with the soothing and confidence-inducing nature of human contact; It's damn fucking tiring without. But, hey, less than a month until I see Patty, and I'm going to sleep in tomorrow; I've earned it.

Date: 2010-10-08 07:11 pm (UTC)Ianto wasn't killed because he was queer, he was killed because he was the hero's love interest and at this point in the story, the hero was on a downward spiral of loss and the love interest was the next logical step. If Ianto had survived, day 5 would not have worked out the way it did.
I was incredibly sad when it happened--yes, I cried--but from a story pov, I support the decision.
I also hate it when people say it shouldn't have been Jack who killed Stephen, it should have been Johnson--she should have had her soldiers restrain Jack and pressed the button against his will. That would Not Have Worked. It would have completely ruined Jack's journey if in the end, he'd stood be ineffectively as someone else saved the world and killed his grandson. And I don't really see how it would have been less sad, either.

I'll give the 4th season a shot, but if Rhys and Gwen and Rhys' child get killed off, quite frankly, I won't be impressed.
I was really depressed for weeks after CoE, and then mad ans disgusted with myself for a) wanting to cry, and b) wanting to cry over a flipping TV show. I have a whole bunch of shame issues on the subject of tears.
