Torchwood 3x02 question (and a bit of reaction)

[donutsweeper]

For a brief second, at about the 15 minute mark, the Torchwood information is brought up on the screen by Lois Abeeba (the inquisitive newbie/temp in Frobisher's office) and it says "although Torchwood 2 in Glasgow is thought to have disbanded and Torchwood 1 in London is now defunct following the Battle of Canary Wharf..."

So... poor 'very strange man in Glasgow' is no more? (And no mention of TW 4, btw, I guess it really is lost.)

And.... EWWWWWWW gross. Just ew. Although it does imply the Face of Boe thing is a load of crap.

And.. why are some kids in school and some not? I'd very much like this to make a little more sense please.

I still don't understand why this kid-speaking thing lead to the kill order on Torchwood. Or why there is yet ANOTHER supersekkrit UK alien/terrorist hunting organization. Or where UNIT is.

And... there was a story about Jack being sealed up in concrete. It gave me nightmares. Thanks, TW, I really needed to revisit that.

I did laugh when, in the previews, Jack is in his WWII coat again. Good to know it never goes out of style. And survives bombs and fire and everything else.

I hope Myfanwy is okay. :(

It didn't give me nightmares but what I was thinking would probably make you have more so I shan't say.

I thought there seemed to be a lot of children NOT in school - even allowing for children having dental/hopsital/doctors appointments there seemed to be far too many wandering around, in uniform, with their mums.

I'm was wanting to believe it was because Jack was somehow involved the first time BUT that wouldn't make sense as then he'd have recognised what was going on, surely?

I thinks they have forgotten about Myfanwy :(

How did he not have concrete in his lungs and up his nose and in all those places?

I wouldn't have minded the kids being out and about if it looked like they were 5 or so- too young for school, or out on a field trip of some sort, but the way it aired just seemed silly. Glad I wasn't the only one who thought so.

So far the storyline with Jack and the other random people murdered (the names meant nothing to me) doesn't make much sense. Hopefully it will later.

Myfanwy was out hunting donuts, right? Right?!?!

*hee* there you go!! She'll come back when it's safe then!

She's not daft, she'll wait for Jack to go fetch her :D

I assumed a lot of parents were panicking and kept their children home. Didn't Alice ask Jack if it was safe to send them back?

That would make sense as to why the kids weren't in school, but if a parent was worried, why wouldn't they keep them home?
