Torchwood 3
Volume 73, Week 13
Alien activity: Weevils, and a Hoix. Luckily, they’re easy enough to deal with. Wish they’d been our only problem.
Rift activity: Oh, all kinds of activity. Fluctuations, jitters, cracks, and massive holes.
Security: It wasn’t John after all. But how easily I believed that he was capable of that. It was Gray. My own brother. I wasn’t expecting him to forgive me. I didn’t deserve forgiveness. I deserved punishment. But it went a whole lot further than that. Despite everything, I still can’t blame him for what he did. I forgave him. His mind was gone. Ravaged. Nothing left but hatred. Those creatures took away everything that he was. And it was all my fault.
Other security issues: Gray was incapable of forgiveness, of healing. All he would have done was commit more atrocities. So I had to neutralise him. Couldn’t kill him. Don’t think I ever will be able to.
Staff: Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper died in the line of duty. I lost them. I failed them. It feels like a piece of me has been cut out. And while I can’t die, losing people I love is much, much worse. Every time, you think this one won’t hurt as much as the last, but it does, it gets harder every time.
Owen, Tosh - you were the best. I miss you.
Other Staff issues: The one glimmer of hope in all this? I still have Ianto and Gwen. Whatever the future throws at us, whatever madness the Rift vomits out next, whatever we have to face - Torchwood will be ready.
Capt. Jack Harkness.
Ianto, I know you’re reading this over my shoulder, pretending to fix that damn shelf. So get over here and take me out somewhere.

Slicer-your writing is eloquent, moving, and quite the departure from the bawdiness that is my style. I hope to learn from you.
Does anyone know If TW is coming back for another season?
Tomorrow, thursday, BBCA is showing "Aliens of London", which, if I am not mistaken, is the famous "Spacepig" episode where we first meet Tosh.
Torchwood, when the strange threatens the innocent, when the weak are overshadowed by the rising dark, there is where we will stand, in the gap, on the edge, pushing back against the onslaught.
As much as it hurt to see both of them go, it is necessary to refresh the front line officers. Both were irreplaceable, but we all know that in war casualties happen. I salute the fallen, and mourn with the living. Jack, Gwen, Ianto rest up, support each other. Draw on that which is still strong. We'll all be here when you get back, waiting, praying, and hoping it was all just a dream, but knowing that it's time to wake up and live.
I dunno about not getting rid of Rhys. Gwen is pretty soft, and TW is not soft-especially with Jack around (hee hee). So, if JB ever decides to pull out of TW-oh, don't say it-they'll need someone to make the hard decisions-oh, really don't say it. Some days I just can't help myself. :) On a more solemn note, I can't watch the finale again-not for a while.
It kills me to watch Tosh and Owen's death scenes. I probably feel as much loss as Jack, Gwen, and Ianto. Fantastic performances--esp. Tosh! A quick note to those who would like to see Rhys done away with--you can't. If you do Gwen will lose her sense of compassion and empathy. His character keeps her anchored and centered. She draws strength from his character and is a check for her motivation
I watched the last ep. again yesterday and as soon as I hear Tosh saying to Owen "Stop because your breaking my heart" I start crying and can't stop until the end. It's going to be a long summer......
also HDnet starts repeats of season one this monday
JB is up for two LOGO awards one can go to LOGO's web site and vote. for performer and kiss well two kisses really
