Torchwood yet again

dreamwafflesRight. So. Torchwood.
I have decided to officially retcon the fact that there was a season 3 in my version of the universe. And, for that matter, the last episode of season 2 of Torchwood and the whole bit where Owen became a zombie. La la la, he got better.
I cried like a small child tonight. I cried for nearly the entire episode.
And I have decided that no, it did not happen.
Oh, Ianto has a sister. And Jack has a daughter and grandson. And Gwen can be pregnant. But the 456 never existed.
I got the tiniest impression that Russell T. Davies wanted to be done with Torchwood. And, y'know what, that's fine.
But you do not have to fucking destroy the entire show to make it end. Would it be too much to ask for...if not a happy ending, at least one that didn't destroy my faith in humanity as a species? I don't want to watch a show about people making impossible choices and hating themselves for the rest of their lives. Because Torchwood is a show about pretty people fighting aliens. That's WHY I watch it.
So, from now on, in my version of the universe-everything from the last episode of season 2 of Torchwood onwards is filmed fanfic. Oh, it's excellent. It's dark and twisty and really deeply affects you.
But in the end it's fanfic. And therefore NOT CANON.
(the last bit of season 2, btw, had Jack get buried alive for almost 2000 years. I am taphophobic. Hence why I am retconning it. Also I like Tosh and Owen. But mostly it's the Jack-getting-buried-alive thing. I almost threw up when I watched that sequence.)
So! I am now going to watch some of my lovely season 2 of Torchwood and lament the fact that they never made a season 3. And that the end of the season is kind of abrupt. Who's with me?
