In case your not familiar with Torchwood, here is its quick explaination/intro:
What are my feelings at the end of s2? well leave it up to Owen and Tosh to answer:
Exactly.
Sure, its sci-fi and so there is still hope, but no light is to be seen in the near future.
I just cant believe they killed off Owen and Toshiko. Owen more so then Toshiko.{Fans' Reaction} No don't get me wrong, i like and value Toshiko. I like the fact that there is the really smart character that isnt a dweeb and kooky as often portrayed say like Willow in Buffy or those Canadians in stargate atlantis. No, she was quiet and reserved. So for said reason, were she to be killed off it wouldnt be as substantal since Tosh often faded into the wood work. Now Owen on the other hand was at front center. He was their most valuable player, he was the medic/bio guy and the action man. Not only that but he is also my favorite character.
And season two was very much the Owen season and thus by extention a good Owen/Tosh season. So he was great and all and then nearing mid season they did this:
He became a zombie basically. He was undead without healing abilities in contrast to Jack who is filled with endless life and restorative abilities. So we bid to figure out when will Owen be "cured". It would be stupid and unbelievable to have him fixed before the finale. But you need him fixed because he is bound to break a leg or arm and become useless. But no they decided to give him one of the most horrifing deaths possible instead.
But is all hope lost? I really hope not, or like Krys says, it means the end of Torchwood. So It's sci-fi and their purpose is to constantly attend the time-space rift and are a spinoff to the time-travelling Dr.Who. Both star characters who have life restoration possibilities. So its highly probable. And not only that both actors (Tosh's amd Owen's) are welcome to coming back.
Tosh hasnt had her 2nd death yet like her teammates and her body is frozen in the torchwood morgue.
Whereas Owen's body is thought to be evaserated. Though like Burn (Owen) said, you don't know maybe Owen escaped to the sewer to become the king of the weevils. So yeah, maybe the weevils saved him and got him out of there ^__^. Though to me what would be more intriging is dealing with what exactly happened to Owen to put him in that undead state. Owen says in a fight, that his soul has left him-but we dont know. If anything I think his soul has been reattached to his dead body. And let's not forget he freakin fought Death- literally and physically. and he won! So doesn't that mean death fears him and so if his body is destroyed then his body is still stuck on this plane of existence!?!?
But let us not over look the conspiracy that has taken over Torchwood.
THEY HAVE TARGETED THE SMART PEOPLE!
Now the history of Torchwood 3.
1999- The head of Torchwood 3 kills off all the members including himself, leaving it to Jack for his 100yrs of duty. Afterall he can't kill him effectively.
0 - No, I'm not counting Jack among the smart people, he has multi-life experience. The zero is for dying before coming onto the show.
1- Suzie. The tech expert. When she goes, its up to Tosh to pick up the slack.
2- Owen, medic and bio expert.
3- Tosh, the computer expert plus math and other skills.
The three characters that have been there 4yrs. Is there an experation date to survival?
So now what? Who picks up the slack? We got action couple and tea man. Sure Ianto started to become action man to fill Jack's absence between seasons. But he still is a damsel until pushed into extreme action. So he did the cyberwoman thing- but by his own admission he just did as instructed. Ianto is basically the historian. No way can he fill the shoes.
So who are they bringing in for the 5 episode s3?
Well, Who knows about Torchwood? There is Rhys, but i'm sure he doesn't really want in as he knows his capabilities. And then there is Gwen's ex-partner. Gwen doesnt think he has the balls to do it. And well it doenst look it no matter how much i like him. But hey, they might be desperate.
But what rumours have I heard without delving too far into Dr. Who spoilers?
Well what character were we scared of replacing Owen before and had a few ep arc in s2? Well, that would be Martha. She got her md. And futhermore I dont like her. i dont think she fits and of course she sucks. She sucks enough that she didnt last on Dr.who...but there is a rumor that she accepted another acting deal so hopefully she wont be there for long and just be a temp.
And who else can we import from Doctor Who?
There's Mickey. Now, i like Mickey. and yeah im pretty sure he can join up like Owen with extreme heartbreak under his sleeve. I can see him being able to fit in. It depends on the changes of his character through s2-s4 of dw which i have yet to see, but he has that sad air about him that the other characters of torchwood had. plus i lik him. But really, what can he do? Krys says he can serve the tea. So yeah he can replace Ianto's former job well enough. I dontknow how much action he can handle-but he has dealt with aliens, and im sure he got better through the dr. who seasons and afterall he can get training. I think he'd have the will.
But boo.. I really hope this just lasts for that small time. Hey Rose comes back seasons later to Dr. who, so its fully possible here.
The Doctor Who people, are just too happy, dont know how they handle post watershed. And hey, if they catch Jack's eye, their survival rate jumps way up as a team member. Or maybe they just need to make sure to stand on his rightside in photo ops.
