Great post and I agree with every word. The only way I can appreciate angst is if there's, you know, a happy period or a hopeful period or something that highlights the angst so I can understand why a character has the strength to continue on. I'm annoyed that the angst is getting repetitive. It's one of the things that turned me off TW S2: watching all of these horrible things happen to Jack one right after the other made his angst cartoonish because we'd seen it happen so many times. Jack was already damaged after DW S3, there's no way he can even be completely sane after what happened to him in TW S2.
I'm really hoping that you're right and that maybe Rose will play an important role in lessening the angst, and not just used as another shovel to beat Ten with. ;__;
