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. :(

I think my brain just fled back to the gutter.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

seriously, don't go looking for it.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I won't. I have enough nightmares as it is.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

do the writers even stop to consider what they've put Jack through?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Probably not.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

buried for 2 thousand years, encased in concrete... no I don't think they do

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I somehow don't think a person would remain sane after all that.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

evil stupid writers

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm beginning to think that's just part of the job description.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*snickers* you might be onto something

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's becoming an increasingly prevalent trait in TV writers.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

bloody annoying trend if you ask me

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Amen to that.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

tv is to entertain us. not depress us

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I agree so much with this, which is why I can't ever figure out why the most depressing shows seem to be the most popular.

LMAO, I love that spelling error so much.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! I get enough angst and depressing crap in life, I don't need it on my screen too!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

If I REALLY want to go watch something depressing, I'll find a good movie.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

there are certainly enough of those to choose from!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Probably far too many.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yep. Books too. I don't need it shoved down my throat every week on tv too

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Same here.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

although, in general, I can't stand sitcoms. They're too dumb for me.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Nor can I. I'm pretty sure the only one I ever liked was Home Improvement.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I watched that a bit. current ones-wise I've occassionally caught some of "big bang theory" and "2 and a half men" they aren't bad, but not great either

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I don't really ever watch TV on TV, anymore, so I pretty much don't see any of the new ones.
