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. :(

My personal take is that Jack *was* involved the first time, but hasn't yet put this visitation together with an event from 40+ years back. Jack doesn't know about the '456' radio band sending instructions; he only knows that the kids are talking in unison. They're afraid that Jack will remember, so they're hoping to neutralise him first.

Speaking as a mum with two kids in high school, there are loads of reasons for kids to be out of school. Government school sdon't have the same holidays as private schools, and independent schools have other ones again; also there's curriculum days, and half-holidays, and sports days.. and those are just when the entire student body would be out of class. I've taken my kids out at lunchtime because they had appointments in mid-afternoon, and it's less disruptive if they leave at lunch instead of half-way through a class.

Myfawny may have been out, if it was her time of day to be flying. However the Weevils haven't got a chance. Even if they survived the explosion there's nobody to look after them now.

ah, thanks. That's one less plot hole at least.

And that very may well be the case, Jack and the other 3 people on the 'kill list' all were involved back when and the government is trying to tidy up that loose end.
