Torchwood: Children of Earth DAY ONE grading thread

^ Mmm, be warned, it's not all sweetness and light by any stretch.

Well thanks to my sister being away on vacation this week I have access to BBC America on the very week this and Planet of the Dead airs! YEAH! I've never been a big fan of Torchwood's first two years, it's just too bleak and depressing and slow and boring. But this first episode of S3 was actually pretty good! Interesting premise, it's not depressing, the villain is the government which is interesting. Also I was floored that Jack had children for some reason I thought he was sterile for some reason! Also enjoyed Ianto's home life. I think I'm just so happy that Owen is gone he was such a miserable sod.

Stop watching now, the rest of this show's brilliance might be too depressing for you! This ain't an RTD romp!

And why do people keep going on about Jack being sterile, the face of Boe gives birth in the future!

Chiming in late (as usual for me..) Loved it! I'm looking forward to this whole week of Torchwood/Dr.Who....I'll probably be in severe withdrawal next week, though.

I especially liked Captain Jack's scenes with his daughter and the conversation they had about his lack of aging. Just when it was getting too heavy...Jack jokes that he found A grey hair. Great timing!

There's a bit more of that over the next few episodes. I liked the way they did that.

As for Jack having kids - surpirsed me, too!
