we are coming

[such_heights]

So the internet is gearing up for new Torchwood tonight, and I am super excited to have my team back! However, EVERYONE'S THEORISING IS FREAKING ME OUT.

So, the stuff I have been reading is not based on spoilers, as far as I know, and I am one of the least-spoiled people in the whole of fandom, feels like. (And I like it that way!) But I am not happy about this prevalent thought of Ianto dying, not even a little bit. Partly, obviously, from a character/shipping/in-universe perspective, but mostly because I really would prefer it if we didn't have any more dead queers on this show, argh. D:

Still, this has now set the bar for my enjoyment of this series ridiculously low: if I am not dead on TV come Friday I'll consider it a winner!

... oh god. Hold me, flist, hold me.

I LOVED THE EPISODE SO MUCH. ♥

I haven't read many spoilers (yet), so I'm pretty much in the dark as to what's going to happen, but I'm a firm non-believer of the "Ianto will die"-rumour. I don't think it would be a smart move (especially not so soon after Owen and Tosh), if they're still hoping for a fourth season -which they still are. They know that a major part of the fans adore not just Ianto, but also the Jack/Ianto-pairing. They tried killing him off twice and twice, they changed their minds because the character was so popular. I don't think they'd try a third time, let alone really go through with it.

And I don't think that Gareth would be the one to ask for Ianto's death either. He knows that he's got a fantastic job that still allows him to work on his music and other things and a massive fanbase. He wouldn't give all that up - especially not now we're getting to see more of Ianto's background and feelings (WHICH I LOVED SEEING TODAY).

I'm going to check all spoilers now, though, because I totally need to be prepared. And if it does turn out to be true, and Ianto snuffs it- I will declare war on RTD I think that's pretty much me over and done for with Torchwood. I probably wouldn't even finish watching CoE, and I'd definitely wouldn't watch season four because I don't think I could stand watching just Gwen and Jack and a few random new people (altough I'm very much rooting for Lois Habiba to become part of the team!).

I've seen the "Ianto retcons himself"-theory go around quite a bit too, though. That I would like, but only if halfway through season four, there's this major archiving crisis and they totally need to get him back. Or something along those lines.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE OTHER EPISODES.
