  1. I did watch all 3 seasons of TW. I'm really new to the fandom though. I forgot I didn't post what I posted at TWOP here. (I'm Soulkissage over there but tarotx most every where else on the internet so went with that here). Any way since the new year I've watched the first 4 seasons of the 2005 incarnation of Doctor Who. And all 3 seasons of Torchwood (and now 1 episode of Miracle Day). I liked Children of Earth though do feel they rushed the ending. I feel like it would have benefited from a 2 hour season finale for day 5 or some allotted time in day 1 to Jack bonding with his family. We should have seen Jack spend time with his Grandson. I think it would have made that choice a bit more powerful.The double whammy of losing Lanto and the Grand son would have seemed even more emotional. I have a small kinship to COE cause I feel it's a bit of a bookend to Jack's first Doctor who episodes with Children and Sacrifice. It would have made a great series finale because of that. The Empty Child and the Doctor dances I've already watched 4 or 5 times since January. I love 9 and Jack in those episode.
  2. I just watched Torchwood: Miracle Day episode 1. I liked it. It didn't feel part of the Doctor Who verse but so far it seems like a decent American Remake of Torchwood. - I have no idea why Torchwood was being stalked but I'm going to assume that it wasn't the Government but something connected to the Miracle or The blessing or whatever it's called. Perhaps they wanted to eradicate all knowledge of Jack's immortality so they were trying to draw Jack out or back or something. It was a cool scene with Gwen, the baby and the guns. That's the point. This is America and action is sometimes"THE" point. -The new cast is mixed for me. I like Rex well enough. I've seen his actor in a bunch of stuff so he's familiar so that helped me have an instant feel for the character. I feel nothing for Esther yet. She's pretty but young feeling so we'll see with her. The Doctor Girl is a bit too cold I think. We'll see. I'm not sure if she's a character or not yet. The pedophile is going to be unamusing. We just had the 456 as a bad guy into children so I don't need this again. ​-It now seems unrealistic that Earthlings don't believe in Aliens after everything that has happened even if it did happen in the UK. - I like seeing Jack. I just like watching him come into a scene. JB's Charisma is out of this world. Jack's a bit like Angel (from BTVS&ATS) for me but without most of the angst. I know there should be more angst after everything he's lived through. He'a aging slower than normal and growing in his humanity just as slowly. We'll see how a return of mortal status (for how ever short a period of time) does anything to speed it up. -Torchwood has always been a bit Cartoonish in the fact that the characters revert back to their character personas at the start of each episode. Growth is made but only within the episode or a few episodes.
  3. Hi everybody I'm pretty new to Doctor Who and Torchwood but I moving through the episodes. I just started this year and I'm about to watch the Specials at the end of season 4 of Doctor who and I just finished Torchwood : Children of Earth. Here's a recent doctorwhotv "article" on Children of Earth http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/torchwood-children-of-earth-in-perspective-62098.htm As for the discussion already going on here, I believe them controlling of the kids was the same as a virus only the 456 could control. How do you think the world would respond if suddenly Aliens took over the minds of every child? People respond differently when children are involved. These Aliens demonstrated they could control the kids and gave the countries very little time to decide. The thing is, within the episode we don't know what the other countries know about the 456 or Aliens in general? We get a taste only from the lying greedy Governments in relationship to each other. I do find it interesting in connection to what happened in the Doctor's who Year that never was-How much do the other countries know of it? I mean that all started because of a British Prime minister...
