Torchwood 2x13 "Exit Wounds"

[kelliem]

I was fairly well spoiled for this ep, but I have to say, they made it work.

I never cared for Owen. Not even after his 'redeeming' arc this season. But he went out with surprising grace and dignity. And Tosh, who I did like, broke my heart.

Now, I just hope they don't spoil everything they did in this ep by miraculously pushing the reset button next season. While it would be nice in some ways, in others it would be a giant cop-out.

Lots of surprises all around in this one. John turning out to be not so bad after all. Grey. Jack's guilt. Unexpected depth. I'm impressed despite myself. This season the show has been light-years better than first.

Tosh broke my heart, too. :( *sniffle* And I'm with you on Owen--haven't ever liked him, not sad to see him go *at all*, but yeah, he did die with surprising grace and dignity.

(Is it wrong that I'm doing the happy dance inside that Ianto's not dead?)

Still--oh Tosh. *sob*

It still makes me sad to think about Tosh, two days later. :(

And yeah, this season really was a million times better than the other. It's been a joy to look forward to the next episode each week.

Though, dammit, they couldn't have killed Gwen off and kept Tosh? I'd've much preferred that. *sniffle*

It was like a completely different show, wasn't it?

Also? I would swap Gwen for Tosh, myself.

I was totally, utterly unspoiled, not *even* a clue. Powerful episode - all the layers!

I broke when Jack did, holding Tosh close.

I like the fact that there are consequences - no convenient rift manipulating to turn time back.

Yet. I live in fear they'll do it to us next series.

I was ambivalent about Owen, so I'm sad to see him gone. It was almost expected (by me, anyway), because it was either get rid of him completely or bring him back to life somehow, and I don't know if they could have made that work.

And yes, Tosh broke my heart too. I was so sad to see her go.

I liked Gwen taking control in the police station and then quietly having a breakdown in the corner. That was a nice "human" touch to the episode.

Yes, that was excellent. Who among us couldn't relate to that?
