Exit Wounds

Finished watching Torchwood S2 tonight. Oh, I just have to go around falling in love with stories that break my heart, don't I? It's no good for me, why do I have to do it?

I knew certain things were going to happen, but doesn't make it hurt any less, damn it.

Proper commentary some other time.

It was sad, wasn't it? But still a good season before that.

I didn't like S3 much and never watched S4.

I still miss Tosh and Owen. But the end was really, really good.

Yeah, I loved S2 to bits, and it was so much better as a whole than S1. I'm just heartbroken at the moment. But there'll be squeeful review of the whole season at some point. ♥

The opinions on S3 seem to be pretty divided, depended on who I ask. I'm just going to do what I usually do and find out for myself. But I know one major spoiler about exactly how heartbroken that will leave me (and honestly, I'm happier knowing that beforehand so I can prepare), so I think it might be a while before I watch it. Maybe I'll only do it after I've watched some Eleventh Doctor; he's supposed to be fun, right?

Yes, it was, and I loved the whole S2! It's just depressing. Means it's doing its work well, of course. It's not like I want to watch things that leave me unaffected...

Yep, Eleven is fun. :-)

Good; I might need that after this, Donna's fate, and the depressingness of the Doctor Who specials season if I even re-watch that (because it wasn't very good... but a part of me prefers thoroughness of the narrative if I'm rewatching everything; though I seem to have already skipped the Voyage of the Damned).

*hugs* I confess it's been ages since I watched Torchwood, and I'm not sure how much detail I'm remembering. But 'heartbreaking' sounds very, very familiar.

It sucks that there are only two seasons of Torchwood, but I guess they ended it on a high note

Ack, that episode. So good but sooo sad :'( I miss Owen and Tosh ♥ *sends tissues and tea*

Well, Tosh, and Owen.

*hugs*

Thank you. I was drinking a lot of comfort tea over the next days. *sigh* S2 was fantastic, and I'm going to have to write a proper post on that because there's so much thought and so much squee, but I haven't been at my most energetic the past week (which is why it's been taking me ages to reply to comments, too, sorry!).

I'm going to find out on my own whether I'll like S3 or feel a need to wipe it off my memory (it seems to me there are only those two kinds of responses, and no telling before I see it which one will be mine) but at any rate it's a pity that they don't have more seasons with all of the team. The team-ness is one of the points of Torchwood for me...
