I still have not watched the end of CoE, mostly because it disturbed me greatly to read that Jack was forced to sacrifice his grandson in front of his pleading daughter. I thought it was going way too far with the ~"dark" theme.
Also, I think they took the "anyone can die" thing too far. I wasn't hugely attached to Ianto, or Tosh, or Owen, but to kill all three of them is too much. It makes it look gratuitous. And I think RTD wants to be Joss Whedon when he grows up. Except Joss could afford to kill off characters, because he had a lot more than 5 main characters (let's say 7, including Andy and Rhys - still not enough). I think RTD forgot about that part. -_-
I thought it was funny that JB posted on Twitter earlier, "I hope all of you will come on this exciting journey with Captain Jack and the Team." WHAT TEAM. 3/4 of your team is dead and the one who lived has a baby. How exactly is that going to work.
I'm happy for him and Eve and understand why they're excited... I just don't think there's any way that it can be really Torchwood, with the Hub destroyed and so few characters returning.
