Torchwood...so much Torchwood....

Rich and I watched the first episode of the Torchwood mini-series "Children of Earth" last night, then tonight watched the second one. Then, what the heck, we watched the third. And the fourth, and by that time it would have been silly to stop, so we watched the fifth and last one. They were each 75 minutes long, so we watched five hours of Torchwood tonight. (Except that the last episode was actually about 35 minutes long, with 40 minutes of commercials. Seriously.)


It was obviously engaging and very entertaining. We were surprised by the ending, though. I didn't realize the series wasn't coming back, which is apparently a real possibility. They also left some loose ends (that woman Minister, the one who insisted they keep their own children safe and get rid of the "socially undesirable" children, really needs to be spattered all over something, not made Prime Minister). I'll have to keep an eye on the BBC website.

In the meantime, the Dr. Who special is on tomorrow night! (Geek. Yes. Pretty much a hundred percent.)
