Another CoE Fail

Firstly - apologies for all the CoE and, more recently Gwen-centred bashing in this journal. I promise you it will eventually, maybe, someday ... stop. Okay, the Gwen-bashing might, but CoE was so much fail even bringing Ianto back won't make me see that many positives, I shouldn't think.



Anyhoo, I bring you more fail - of the most epic of proportions. Perhaps not quite so epic a the possiblity of sound travelling in space, or a virus being released from an air-tight box and actually being able to kill people in under ten minutes (c'mon! Even ebola isn't that fast - and ebola's had practice!), but it is still quite a ridiculous failure.


Look at the day, clearly spelt out on Ianto's newspaper at the beginning of Day Two:

So ... if Day Two was Wednesday, Day Three was Thursday and Day Four was Friday ... logic tells us that Day Five would be a Saturday. So ... um ... why were all the kids at school, in full school uniform, on a Saturday?

Also, Gareth was exhibiting a bit of a weird thumb, there. Dontcha think?

Maybe because....they had a day off and the goverment insisted they went into school on the Saturday instead?? I wouldn't put anything past them in this plot (and I use the word plot in the widest sense of the word).
Also, not quite sure why I'm looking for reasons to defend plot holes. I like plot holes, they make the whole thing more...laughable. And I need to laugh at it or I might just start to cry again.

The papers were delivered at night, so I guess the papers were meant for the next day, which means that was really Tuesday and the students would be at school Friday.

I try to the horrible plot holes in a positive way...if the plot was actually as airtight as it should be it would be so much harder to come up with a way to bring Ianto back.

*snickers* Please don't ever stop the CoE-bashing and the Gwen-bashing! Please! It makes me laugh after a bad day! (Also, my friend who read this over my shoulder said: "Oh my god, that [CoE] was so rubbish. It had, like, loads of flaws and stuff." And she isn't even a TW fan!)

The being-in-school on a Saturday thing? Well...what about Saturday-school? Loads of schools in the UK have Saturday school; I went to one for a while.

what about the fact that the month says september?
PROOF THAT IANTO ISN'T REALLY DEAD AMIRITE?

Personally, I find the whole maximum 21 degrees temperature in September to be more offensive. ;)

But, hell, I didn't even know CoE was set in September. Shows how much I was paying attention, really.

I see it as yet more evidence that shows proof-possitive that the whole COE debacle was set in an alternate universe... See, it's an AU where the school week runs Tuesday through Saturday, a triple deadlock can't keep petty car thieves from the TW SUV, and Jack couldn't save Ianto.

Now, meanwhile, back in OUR reality...
