*claps with all her might* Yes, exactly. As I just told temporal_witch, "RTD killed Ianto because he could, which is lazy writing." I've killed Ianto off. Teach has killed Ianto off (temporarily). A lot of good writers have killed Ianto off. And you know why we still read them? Because it had PURPOSE. Because it gave depth to the characters and the plot. Because there WAS a plot. "Because I can" is not the best mindset to use when writing. And I've been wondering myself about the Shadow Proclamation. Where the hell were they? They'll send the Judoon after a freaking haemovore, but not an entire race trying to eat our children? Eff that. Now that I think on it, RTD broke more than Torchwood--he broke the Whoniverse. Get the hell out of my sandbox, RTD.

*climbs down off soapbox. Again. Some more*
