I am working on not being angry at where they took these characters. I worked very hard to get into my not angry place. Me, angry, is sort of dangerous.
I think you're right--RTD wanted to be edgier with his storytelling, like Moffat. He got it right in "Midnight"--then after, maybe he didn't just want to match Moffat; wanted to one-up. Dunno, speculation. I really want to know who's in charge of story direction because now it doesn't so much feel like they were just killing off Ianto--they killed any character development Jack's had on the show, and with all of ONE team member on planet Earth now . . . it feels like RTD was bitter about losing Doctor Who and in revenge decided to murder Torchwood.
What was up with last week? It's like all the Ass Hats decided to push their asses out in our faces.
Harry Potter had better be good. It better be awesome.
