twincityhackerI got done watching Day Five a little while ago, and spent the last half hour hashing over it with my Dad. I can say it really was an excellent piece of television drama. I'm a little teary-eyed, but no where near last night. Probably since I've already gotten over the initial shock of my show being gone. I'm still sad and pissed off about it, but not crying buckets.
I know I'm going to stay in the Torchwood fandom. I'm probably not going to buy the discs because I don't think watching emotionally devastating things is a good time. Or suspenseful, or horror, or, frankly, serious films. The two darkest films I own is Sleepy Hollow and Nosferatu, and those are dusk at best.
Everything else I really need to stew over. There may be essays comparing this to classical Greek drama coming up, or attempts to bring Children of Earth in line with the previous Torchwood series. Or Torchwood fic completely ignoring everything that happened previous to the last ten minutes of "Reset"!
I write Mystery Science Theater 3000 fanfic. I'm very, very capable of missing the point of a series entirerly. Plus, I have a cliche bingo card to fill and I still want to write about Elves!
