Torchwood Children of Earth Day Four - Spoilers

Hi all,

Wow, oh, wow, oh wow.  OMG!  specifics will be under the cut, but I absolutely couldn't believe it!

Spoilers below (click link to read).


OH MY GOD!!!!!  They killed Ianto.  I can't believe it!  AND I'm really ticked off.  The Ianto/Jack relationship was one of my main reasons for watching Torchwood in the first place.  And Ianto, himself, as a character I also really, really enjoyed watching!  I really thought it was totally unnecessary.  And I kept hoping that somehow they'd "bring back" Ianto -- he'd turn out to be a Time Lord, or Jack would use his powers to bring him back.  I mean, Ianto's death was SO sad and so well handled, and I cried.  But I really think they've made an actual mistake in killing off Ianto.
The second thing was the politics!  OMG!  I couldn't believe how ruthless the polititians were -- to sit there and calmly discuss giving 10% of the world's children to the 456.  And THEN on top of that, to ensure there own kids would be exempt.  God, I had shivers.
And Ianto convincing Jack that they had to stand up to it -- and the great scene where Jack and Ianto DO stand up to it -- and not only does it not work, but the cost is Ianto's life.   Like NOOOOOO!
I really, really want to see some sort of happy ending out of this, but Torchwood is starting to look like Blake's 7 -- no happy endings and everyone dies, and I really sorta' hate that!
But I'll be watching tonight.
Oh, and I'm having Internet problems at home, but I hope to post on Day 5 as soon as I can.
