Torchwood: Children of Earth

[thecopper]

So, I've finally caught up on Torchwood. And seeing as there is no one here to talk about it with, I figured I'd bring it to Gwen's journal! Also included, some speculation on what canon changes will be made to her RP here.

First and foremost, Torchwood needs to stop making me cry.

What an exhausting week for our pups, fellow players! Honestly, I don't know what to make of all of it quite yet. It was probably one of the most soul-shattered things I've ever seen on television, even if Gwen was lucky enough to make it through AND not lose the baby (believe me, I was pretty much expecting it from the moment we found out.).

Don't know what the heck they're thinking, killing off Ianto. And the ending? If there is a series 4, it's going to be interesting to see how/if they bring Gwen and Jack back together.

I'm sort of (again) stuck between a rock and a hard place canon-updating Gwen. Even with canon!pregnancy, I'm always feeling awkward writing babyfic. That, and who knows what it is? What they'll name him/her? If we'll ever even see Gwen and Rhys and baby again?

That, and it certainly isn't going to help me pull Gwen from this emo place she's been since Owen and Tosh died. If anything, things have got slightly worse for her, happy baby times or no, so it's kind of up in the air right now as to what I'll be doing about canon updating her journal.

In short, found the series to be horrifying, emotionally draining, slightly predictable in places, but all in all pretty darn good and riveting. And Lois Habiba for Team Torchwood, anyone? Gwen wants her on board, you can count on that.

What did you guys think, in terms of the episodes and how the events will effect your pups?

Expect spoilers in comments.

Responded as well~ And that makes me happy, I think. The worst would be if after all that, Gwen hated him as well.

And yes, really. Fighting aliens and raising kids tends to not go together that well. Frankly, I'd be hesitant to move any of my characters in that direction, even as a father-role. Which is, coincidentally, why I was so worried when I heard about Jack having a daughter. But I think they did brilliantly with it.

[*pets* What is your other muse, btw?]

I don't think Gwen could bear to hate him, especially after seeing all they went through together. He'll always be dear to her, and I think even the things he does that she can't understand she would still always forgive him for.

I definitely understand that, but I agree, I think they handled it brilliantly. To boot, Alice was awesomely likable and heartbreaking. Bringing in kids is always iffy! Hopefully I won't muck things up with Gwen even if it's just prompts.
