"I'm so irritated about what they did to Owen that I had the dubious distinction of telling BBC Exec Julie Gardner face to face at Comic-Con that I would no longer be watching Torchwood again because of Owen. After a moment of looking shocked she asked 'surely you'll come back and watch again'. I looked her straight in the eye and said "No. No Owen, no reason to watch Torchwood.""

"I've never understood the fans who were so attached to one character that without that character the show was unwatchable. After the season two finale of Torchwood, I finally understood. That said, a few minutes later I ran into Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto) at the con and he was so charming and delightful that I may break my resolution after all. Sigh. I didn't use to be fickle."
