Torchwood Day 4

[sg_lab2]

Bloody hell indeed, sazzat. I was holding out hope for a reset by the end of all of this, but after watching the fifteen minute special they've been having after every episode this week with interviews from the cast and RTD, I don't think that's gonna happen. Well shit.

This is a show that has often times nearly brought me to tears and it did it again. In this episode it started when all those people were trying to get out of that building and there's a crush of people at the doors trying but unable to get out.

I started off pissed at all those people for discussing how they would choose what children would go and horror at the sight of all those people trying to get out finally heartbreak at the look on Jack's face as he realizes Ianto is dying and even more heartbreak when Gwen arrives kneeling beside Ianto and Jack comes back wrapping an arm around her.

I can't even imagine what's in store for this last episode. I can't believe it's just one more episode. I'm just overwhelmed.

I am still floored by day 4 and I saw it the day it aired in the UK. Ianto's end scene was/is just plain gut wrenching. :(

I cried. I really cried. Not when Ianto actually died, but when Gwen kneeled beside his body and just lost it. What a sad episode. But it made me wonder, what would you do? No hope of defeating the enemy. You decide to give a way the most valuable asset you have: your children, your future. Unimaginable.
Imho, nothing describes it better than this promo (it's also a scene from the fifth day): Gwen talks about The Doctor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCZmjbWYGME)

Yeah. Heart breaking. It destroyed me.

I have never cried so much as I did during and after that episode. I was destroyed. So beautiful but so horrendous.

Next episode is just as devastating. Beautiful but devastating.

I think this series of Torchwood pretty much broke part of me perminantly.
