Re: Fandom Breakups...

[elaminator]

In the span of FIVE EPISODES, they killed off three fifths of the team. Nope.

It still baffles me that someone thought that was a good idea. I just...don't get it. At all. Some shows are kill-happy, alright, but...that fast? I had whiplash.

Yeah, seriously, Especially after two full seasons that made it very, very clear that it was an ensemble show - characters had their own episodes, episodes like Fragments featured almost the entire cast with equal weighting. People kept saying, "Oh, but Jack and Gwen are still around!", but it was never just the Jack and Gwen show. It was ALWAYS about the team. (That, and Tosh and Ianto were my two favourite characters.)

"Oh, but Jack and Gwen are still around!", but it was never just the Jack and Gwen show.

There will always be people who feel that way, but to me it doesn't cut it. Say you have one member of the original cast left, that doesn't mean the show is still the same or that the one character should be good enough reason to keep you watching. Sure, Torchwood did add more characters after all the deaths, but for most people it wasn't the same, and it wasn't enough. I feel like some shows kill characters too easily. (I do get that TPTB don't want things feeling 'too safe', but killing off more than half the cast that quickly is a slap in the face of their fans. It's like asking people to stick around for what feels like almost an entirely new cast. Which...very rarely works.)

TBH, I don't think RTD ever intended to make another season of Torchwood after CoE, I think in large part because by that point between the wrangling to get CoE made and wrapping up his and Tennant's tenure on Doctor Who, he (self - admittedly) became seriously burnt out by that point. Then CoE did huge ratings and Starz came in to co - finance things for a fourth season (which is primarily why things ended up being set by and large in the US).

From everything I've heard about the mess that was Miracle Day, it might have been better to have left things at the ending of CoE (because I don't think Torchwood was ever meant to be happily ever after). Yes, even if it left most of the cast dead or off Earth.
