Yeah, most people I've talked to slept badly last night. Me included, though I still have enough of a cold that I probably wouldn't have slept well even if I hadn't also been running fix-it scenarios in my head! Go back to 1965, Jack!
The MASH comparison wasn't mine, but it sounds apt. That was how I rationalized Tosh and Owen's deaths last season - not everyone can have a happy ending, and that was about the happiest either of them had been in a while. They had good endings, even if they weren't happy.
But with Ianto, it just felt like--dare I say it?--overkill. Not everyone gets a happy ending, but when *nobody* gets a happy ending, that's going too far in the opposite direction for me.
