Episode Five Thoughts

[ithildin]

Nin came home early, so we just finished up.


Dang.

They certainly didn't pull any punches, did they? I have to say, this episode was much more emotionally affecting for me. The reality of Ianto's death, the desperation of parents trying to save their children, Frobisher killing his family then himself, and in the end, Jack sacrificing his grandson. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for the entire hour.

Really powerful hour of television. Off the scale angst and emotion.

Meh, I felt it was thoroughly anti-climatic after Day Four. It also proved what I'd figured from the start -- strip away all the extra explosions, death and angst, it was just a rehash of the first season episode "Small Worlds" with a rehash of the nightmare vision of the future from "The Twilight Streets" tacked on the end for good measure. It was bad fanfic from beginning to end.
