Torchwood finale

[erastes]

So no Deus Ex Machina *sniff*

But so much wonderful, harrowing, amazing, brave stuff.

At one point I actually wanted to turn it off, it was so harrowing. Jack's face at the end nearly broke my heart, and RTD did the PERFECT ending leaving it all completely up in the air, and open to John Barrowman's agent negotiations!!!! I think the Americans will be quite shocked, because the rule is You Don't Kill Kids!! Oops, sorry, we do! Didn't anyone ever see that film where Hitchcock blew up a beautiful child AND HIS PUPPY???

I can't even list what was marvellous, because imho - it all was. That's all. If they do no more, that'll be fine, because that was a Good High.

The reasons why the 456 wanted the kids? Jawdroppingly ghastly.

It reminded me of the early Quatermass series, which I found incredible scary, probably doesn't equate and if I saw that now I probably would laugh, but it had the same impact on me.

The ending reminded me in a wrongful giggly way of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I'm sorry, but I bet I'm not the only one.

Oh - and the reason for the Passenger Alien at least was explained. Shame they didn't have 6,000,000 of them in stock, the 456 would have liked them .
