*comes out of lurkdom*

That's essentially my feelings on COE (which I won't be watching for a long time but I know the major things that happen)

I've come to terms with Ianto's death, and agree with RTD (to a degree), that it made it more realistic. However he assassinated his characters' characters, and that I find inexcusable.

I personally believe he's used COE as a way to clean house so he can rebuild it around Gwen or Gwen's child (who will be just like Gwen). Something like 'Oh this didn't turn out how I intended why don't I use series 3 to get rid of everything and try again and this time they WILL like who I want them to in the way I want them to.'

If series 4 turns out the way I anticipate I most definitely won't even consider watching and Torchwood will likely end.

*is wondering what is about COE posts that makes me leave lurkdom*
