Role play/CoE thoughts
Jul. 10th, 2009 08:50 pmOMG Day 5 rocked like a rocking thing. Three characters stood out for me and any one of them could be candidates for RP. First, Ianto's sister. She and her husband were great. Second, Jack's daughter. I loved her. Seriously. She didn't have much of a role but it resonated and her final scene that was wordless? Brilliant. Third but by no means last Agent Johnson the HBIC. I <3 her so.
Okay on to my thoughts of the series. I hope they end it there. I hope that is the finale for Torchwood with perhaps a movie of the week now and then or whatever the British equivalent would be. It was a lovely send off just like S5 was for Buffy before they ruined it with S6 & 7. Jack did what had to be done and it will haunt him for eternity. I loved the subtle way that John played it. I also loved that there is no way in hell that his daughter will ever speak to him again and the guilt that she must be feeling for telling Johnson that they needed to get Jack to fix it. OMG the angst with that alone will be fascinating to explore. Her love/hate relationship with her father.
I love that RTD doesn't white wash. I love that he showed Jack at his worst and best. It's what I love about the Doctor as well. He's a hero but he isn't clean by any stretch of the imagination. In not so many words I loved it.

Awww, maybe Mwfawny went through the rift with that blast. It had to have opened it up and had some ill effect. Ooooo I see a sequel coming on where all sorts of nasties come out of the rift now. :D
