Okay, show, I kind of hate you right now. And also, two ways I do not want to die: messy, radiation-related deaths and gut wounds. Thanks, RTD, for inflicting those on characters of whom I am fond.
I actually have not managed to watch the death scene - I skipped it - because if there was messy radiation-related footage, or even the sound of messy radiation-related dyings, I was going to throw up for reals, and that is not the way to start a weekend. If there's any chance that Owen shot himself in the head to spare himself being conscious for the last bit, please alert me, because I'm never going to be able to rewatch this episode otherwise. And that would be a shame, as I would like to vid Gwen/Tosh again, in a sad sad way.
I really hate that Tosh was, like, trying to redeem herself in the eyes of the universe even to the last. And that she was all "it's okay! Don't worry about me! I really don't matter that much! Thank you for sharing your oxygen, I'm really very grateful!" TO THE END. I say this in a way that does not compromise my love for Tosh at all, but Suzie death > Tosh death. I don't care if Jack Harkness is a Sad Puppy, I want someone to catch some blame and some rage from these women. Tosh's life was ruined for something fairly minor (she built a thing that made a sound that hurt people's heads, seriously, Torchwood and UNIT and the Doctor do worse every single day) she was brainwashed and held in captivity and even Jack, on releasing her, essentially held her hostage and isolated her from her loved ones for years. No wonder she had bad self-esteem and was kind of a control freak; that woman had been abused at every turn, by everybody. And RTD kept beating her up. All of her love affairs were doomed; she caught the worst of the Sexy Captivity in the cannibal episode; seriously. I'm a little mad right now.
I hope she and Suzie come back from the dead, jointly, and burn UNIT to the ground.
Warning for rageyness. I still want to hear from my Friends in the Computer if you liked the episode, because seriously, we can disagree and still converse! I promise! I'm not one of those fans, I don't think!
