If you have seen it, or never plan to watch it..

OK...if you've made it this far, then I can say it...how can a popular television series kill off two of their main characters in the same show!!!  This is one notch above when Rose "died" in the Doctor Who season finale! (and I never thought that would be topped)...

The season finale had to be one of the most intense one hour of television I have ever seen...talk about edge of your seat, old TV serial type plots, but they (the Torchwood agents), just could not get a break in this one.

-  Captain Jack Harkness finally finds his brother that he had been looking for (literally for 51 Centuries), only to find out his brother's hatred for him is greater than any hate that can exist.
- Or, how Captain Jack permitted himself to be buried alive for what would have been 2000 years, as pentenance for leaving his brother behind (which by the way was not his fault...he was just a kid!)
- Or how Captain Jack had to put his own brother to sleep for 100 years, in hopes when he wakes up he will forgive him.

Now, that was the least of the bad situations, on to Toshiko "Tosh" and Owen...

I never really liked Tosh, I thought she was a terrible actor, until the episode where she potrayed a person with confidence, and I saw she was actually a great actor...her normal character they wanted her to portray with insecurities, and she did it so well, even I was fooled.  From that point on I was a Toshiko fan.  How could they kill her off!!

And Owen, dear Owen.  He was my favorite from the start.  The guy no body liked because he was just being himself.  He finally made amends with Toshiko before they both died.  I really liked Owen.  I still don't think they had fully resolved his story...he went too soon.

So the show lives on with Captain Jack, Gwen, and Ianto.  Gwen is "OK", Jack will always be my favorite.  Who could not like Captain Jack Harkness from his Doctor Who and Rose days.  But Ianto...he may be my new favorite after Captain Jack.  I've always liked Ianto...he is the baddest dude of the bunch, yet very unassuming - who would think a guy in a suit who makes great coffee can fight or shoot like he does.  Ianto reminds me of the old "Dirty Harry" - he gets the job done when he has to, and he doesn't mess around.

But Owen...how could they kill off Owen...his story had yet to be told...
