Well thanks a lot RTD, you have managed to take the best thing in TW and completely ruin it. 


I am never going to watch another episode of TW again, so quite frankly Russel, if you get a season 4, you can shove it.


You have ruined everything.

IA. After getting your heads up, I resolved not to watch and I haven't. The rest of this series is just BS.

From: [identity profile] natters999.livejournal.com


I couldn't agree more! If they don't find a way to bring Ianto back (I'll keep up this hope for as long as possible) then I refuse to watch TW ever again!

From: [identity profile] natters999.livejournal.com


Yes! That's a good idea. They can't expect the Janto shippers to still watch the show after that and since they make up a large propotion of the viewers, I don't think it'll even make it though another season.

I am not a member but I just had to agree with you. I stopped watching on Tuesday. If there is a Season 4 I will not watch that either.

Er--what is BS? I asked my husband and he said he thought it meant bird shit, if I am allowed to print that---

Oh. Thanks. Husband is Polish-American and I am German and we are obviously both idiots. I thought it didn't sound correct.

i said that ot my step dad.
i ran downstairs, crying like a family member had just died and said rtd can stick his poxy series 4 where the sun dont shine.
we dont want him here no more.

people are saying i'm stupid because i watched for 2 characters and cried when one died.
but i didn't cry this much when tosh and owen died, because i'd not really been able to relate to them much. but lately more and more i've been seeing myself in ianto, and i'd just started to relate to him...
ugh.
tomorrow.
the pen and paper is coming out when i've calmed down, and i'm writing to RTD.
i'm expressing my complete disgust.
and if ianto aint back tomorrow.
which cuz rtd hates us, he probs wont
i'm sending the letter.
it's going to him.
and i feel compelled to write a big FUCK YOU RUSSELL T BLOODY DAVIES. YOU'VE WRECKED EVERYTHING.
I HATE YOU.
I HOPE THE BBC NEVER ACCEPT ANYTHING OF YOURS EVER AGAIN.
I WELCOM THE MOFF IN YOUR PLACE AS DW HEAD WRITER NOW GTFO OF MY TORCHWOOD. AND NEVER COME BACK.

Yes, just give me his adress: english is'nt my native tongue but I have a few words easilly translable.

The very presence of Gwen ALL THE TIME is a motivation enough to insult RTD. I'm not often in this fandom but where did he see people who watch Torchwood for Gwen ? Why is she there all the time ? Which survey gave him the impression we even want her in the series ?

From: [identity profile] mr-i-jones.livejournal.com


I am sending the letter using this address

Russell T Davies
c/o. BBC
PO Box 1922
Glasgow
G2 3WT.

hope that's helpful :D


i know.
fucking gwen cooper.
no one likes her except for the... dare i say it... you know... the ones who do the evil pairing...

From: [identity profile] to-question.livejournal.com


My reaction exactly, except mine had a few more strong words. RTD can take the rest of his series and sink it like the Titanic for all I care. After that love letter to fandom, how could we react otherwise?

Dear fandom,

Go to hell.

With love,

RTD

From: [identity profile] legal-padawan.livejournal.com


I'm pretty much done. I have no interest in the Gwen Cooper show. I hate the character.

And, honestly, are we surprised Gwen survived? I read somewhere that Gwen is a female version of RTD. How many people seriously kill off their self-inserts?

From: [identity profile] tomorrows-moon.livejournal.com


That was horrible.

See if I watch another bloody episode RTD. Do what you want with the show for all I care, from now on i'm staying on the internet reading what should be happening.

Urgh, I'm so mad!

From: [identity profile] athail.livejournal.com


I am completely devastated and will not be watching torchwood again. I really hope that enough people boycott tomorrow's episode that it will make an impact on viewing figures and that RTD realises that this time he really has gone too far.

From: [identity profile] suzywok.livejournal.com


Actually, since I use torrents, I'm not accounted as viewers. Since it's recorded, I just jumped the Gwen's part (like 3/4th of the episodes)...But where can we write to the writers to tell them how idiot they are to destroy their own series ?

From: [identity profile] suzywok.livejournal.com


Why all my fandoms always go wrong ?
Where can we send letters of insults to RTD ?
The Gwen show is awful enough (It's starting to get physical: when she opens her mouth, I turn the sound off :she's just worthless) but I thought "hey there's Ianto, good Ianto" but killing my Ianto ? WE WANT OUR IANTO BACK YOU BIIIP! You jumped the sharks, I don't give a cr*p about the storyline if you don't bring my Ianto back and with a good explanation (Rift again? Don't even think of that!)

I give one last chance, to bring him back, against my very reasonings and then I will only read AU where's Janto is really there and where Gwen stands where she belongs: in the side.

From: [identity profile] andreawashere.livejournal.com


It should have been Gwen who died there. I really liked Gwen in this season, and it would have been shocking and sad and good tv if she had died in Jack's arms, knowing her baby wouldn't be taken by aliens.

I hate RTD. And I want Ianto back.

From: [identity profile] manics-fan.livejournal.com


I will NOT be watching series 4, if there is one, unless Ianto is brought back somehow. I am seriously pissed off and upset right now. What the fuck was RTD thinking?! The permanent death of Ianto Ianto = the death of Torchwood for me.

From: [identity profile] vani21.livejournal.com


Like I said before, am done with Torchwood. RTD is clearly out of his mind. Just because you fangirl Gwen like crazy, RTD, doesn't mean that your audience does too. Especially when you kill off arguably the best and most loved character.

I say arguably because frankly, Gwen lovers, who I refuse to acknowledge much like RTD refuses to acknowledge how much his favourite character sucks, would argue that Gwen was the best.

Frankly, Torchwood could have been great, more than great. But RTD's insistence that Gwen Bury-me-in-a-Y-shaped-coffin-if-I-ever-happen-to-die-though-that-doesn't-seem-likely Cooper is the be-all and end-all of the entire world is maddening.

Maybe he's trying to scare us and Ianto will be brought back somehow... if not I'm moving to that nice fantasy land I hear so many good things about. Yes, I'm sure Denial has some good, affordable realestate.

no-one died, absolutely no-one, LALALALALAL! I'm going to be in denial for roughly the rest of my life if Ianto doesn't come back. I hear the house prices for the denial realestate have really down cheap!

From: [identity profile] ceindreadh.livejournal.com


Yep, that's right. Jack told the aliens to piss off, they got scared and buggered off home, and Jack and Ianto found a nice hothouse and shagged like bunnies. The end.

From: [identity profile] netty82.livejournal.com


I wonder though cause when Jack dies he usually gasps back to life, last nights episode he came back as though he was waking up. probably just wishful thinking on my part cause I love Ianto.

From: [identity profile] suellen128.livejournal.com


I wondered that too, usually gasping and yesterday it was like just a deep breath then he was awake, do you think Jack put that in or the writers that did it?

From: [identity profile] wereleopard58.livejournal.com


Well I am a Janto girl and yes I know my icon doesn't say that but it is my world of Torchwood 5 with Sam/Ianto but most of my stuff is Janto and so are my music vids.

I was heart broken and i will watch it in the desperate hope that somehow Ianto will be brought back. I know I love the world of denial as well.

I think it is a stupid thing to do before even bringing in a new cast so you can get fans to like them.

*takes a breath* Ok I am off to write some Janto just to cheer myself up

Yep denial suits me just fine! How the hell could RTD do this to us? Its gunna be AU's from now on for me!

I noticed the 'Jack-not-gasping' thing too and have to wonder...perhaps JB did that on purpose because he didn't agree with RTD's ending, Because as we all know John was in favour of the whole J/I relationship!

Anyhoo I'm still crying! If Ianto isn't brought back somehow in todays episode then there is no point in watching season 4 for me!

*buys nice shiny house in land of denial*

I think for me when Jack woke up in his face it showed that this is the time he wished he didn't have too, that he could have stayed dead

From: [identity profile] suzywok.livejournal.com


We'll take over the land of Denial on behalf of Janto and build there the shiniest country ever

From: [identity profile] wereleopard58.livejournal.com


I totally agree I get broadband back next week so more music vids. There is one of mine that makes me cry cause it has the death of Ianto Jones that I did a while ago and before this series started I am writing a story that has Ianto dying.

But I am going to write an AU for the end of this COE and how it should have ended g
