WOW
I'm absolutly speechless after watching the final Episode of Torchwood season 3.

Yeah...I concur...however, the speechlessness is brought on by the fact that as of ep4, it didn't feel like TW anymore but like "Spooks". With aliens. Oh yeah, shoot, burn, kill (especially people the audience likes!)

First they give you Awesome!Gwen, Cool!Rhys (THE MAN ROCKED!!!), Ianto and Jack actually TALKING for a change...and EmotionallyStable!Ianto (with family)...

Only to *zing* take it all away in ten minutes and another episode of perfect WTF???

Up to ep4, it was Nirvana. I was a happy camper. And then...Jack takes Ianto with him and I went "Urgh...this ep wasn't ghost-written by Joss Whedon, by any chance? For it feels like him...") Don't get me wrong, I loved the final ep as much as I was sickened by it, as I can totally see it happening - the government, faced with such an ultimatum, choosing the socially challenged, the government-dependent, the "parasites" and those least likely to contribute in the future. Nonetheless...Jack was like someone had pushed the RESET-button. He was far more the isolated rogue whom we met in DW (without the boisterous charm but cynicism instead), as if his 150+ year stint at various Torchwood locations had never happened (just a bad idea, basically...). It was quite the downing experience and I'll happily retreat to my private sandbank along The River in Egypt right now, thank you...:-)

Er. You might want to hide comments including spoilers...such as this one!!!:-)

The end of Torchwood.No FX, no interesting story. Killing Yanto was a bad idea. That's it for me!
