What do you know? It’s a new podcast! In this episode, site member Tommy and I discuss our immediate reaction to Torchwood: Children of Earth, the 5-part miniseries that aired in the UK last week.
It’s scheduled to air in the US starting July 20. If you haven’t seen it yet, beware! There are spoilers aplenty in this podcast! Highlights include:
Way, Way Outside the Government
Who hurt you, Russell T. Davies? Was it Tony Blair? Clearly, Russell’s got an issue or two with the government. I blame the Queen.
Jack Attack
Remember when Jack used to be a fun-loving scoundrel and not a horrible, horrible monster? I don’t.
Maybe It’s a British Thing, Sweetie Darling
Have you invested years and emotions in this series? Davies has a farewell message for you. I’ll give you a clue. It’s stars with a “F**K” and ends with a “YOU.” Aren’t you glad you watched?
Though raw, uncensored and surprisingly emotional, this podcast episode does have some laughs! And it’s nowhere near as depressing and bleak as Children of Earth. That was sort of a spoiler. Sorry! Thanks for listening!
also I was waiting for them to “make up” for killing everyone in 2nd season.
they just made it worse.

Great Podcast. I totally agree. I think the definition of Sci fi, technically doesn’t have to include hope. . I think it technically is fiction based on Science and projecting different realities and different futures. “Fantasy” can even be set in a “sci fi” setting, but Star wars is really more Fantasy than “Science Fiction”. . but what you guys are saying about what makes a good show. . I totally agree. I need hope in my show. . I spent the last two episodes hoping they’d reverse what they did to Yanto(sp?) Jack is a horrible monster and even if they somehow bring it back I don’t think I’ll watch it again.
I also agree with the manipulation comments.
also. . EVERYONE in Torchwood. . except maybe Gwen. . was bi.
