My Two Torchwood cents

As many of you know, last night began one of the best weeks of the year and possibly, of my life. It is one of the best weeks because of four words and one punctuation mark. Torchwood: Children of Earth. Now then, as we all know, Torchwood is one of the best shows produced by the BBC (if it's a drama and it's made by BBC Cymyru Wales, it's gold). Now then, as I am watching it again ( My sister didn't see it so she's watching it now while having her din dins) I am just really soaking it all up. Last night, whenever I watched it, I really to be honest couldn't immerse myself because I was, and I'm not going to lie, I was fan boying over it. And I'm still fan boying over Day two. But now I have watched it and have got the fan boy gene out of my system (for the moment) I can fully enjoy it. And I love it.


I mean, the music, that Murray Gold and Ben Foster Magic, it sends shivers down my spine. I mean, at the opening where Gwen's friend is running to the home office, that brilliant sound coming from what I think should be renamed the Doctor Who Orchestra of Excellence was just fantastic. It screams "I am the adult Doctor Who, give the the respect I deserve!" and from me, it does. I mean it just sets the atmosphere for the scene.


Also, I just love how it can reek of Torchwood but only has violence in the last 15 minutes of it which I just love. But, you have to admit, it would not be Torchwood if it did not have a few gunshots. But the *** ******* ********* at the end is just amazing. And also, with the "area" where the cause of the *** ******* ********* is kept, and Ianto's ascent, it leaves the ultimate cliffhanger ending. It keeps fans coming back wondering " Will he survive? or will Torchwood be shut down for good?! I must know!", it is so nail biting!

While many people think that it would be better if they had spread out the parts of the story to about a month, I personally think that it is better to have it all in the same week. Even though we do not get much time with the trio of kick ass team, the story is always fresh in your head from the day before, so there is no need to recap on the story and there is no frustration when you are looking at the TV and thinking "Who the hell are you?!".

So over all, great storyline, brilliant score, best use of a *** ******* ********* I have seen in ages, and good Janto moment (even though I am not a fan of Yoai moments, even though it is not an anime). The only thing I wish there was more of was that there was more Rhys. He's the fllipin comic relief character. You gotta love the comic relief characters. But anyway, I love it and I can't wait for tonight at 9:00.

They are coming... And I can't wait!

Now, as many people know about (or you have been in outer space for the last year) Doctor who is going to be changed severly. For one thing, Russell T Davies (the living God that is) is leaving Doctor who, and Steven "The Moth" Moffat will be replacing him. Now I respect Moffat deeply and I'm not going to rant. Also, David Tennant is leaving as well. But again, I'm not going to rant about this (even though Matt smith is Pwn'ed by David Tennant in every way, shape and form). And seeing how all of these changes are happening, the Doctor Who and Torchwood are going to be few this year. Doctor who is getting 4 specials, Sarah Jane adventures are getting a normal series, and Torchwood is getting a week of specials. Now then, there have been many trailers released and soon, they will come. The unknown hunters who plan to enslave and eventually kill all of the human race. Now then they have a 5 part plan and there first step involves all of the children of the world stopping and squeling and saying "We are coming". Now the goverment are trying to track down the mysterious beings and they are the only hope to finding and stopping the aliens. Well... them and Torchwood are the only hopes. And soon enough, the Torchwood team are being assasinated by a mysterious women, who I think is being hired by the black guy in the extended preview (I'll post that). That's all that I know deeply. But luckily, the trailer says (in a prophetic kind of way) a summary of the key points. They are as followed:

On the first day, it will start. When our children stop.

On the second day, our defences will fall

On the third day, the sky will burn

On the forth day, the goverment will conspire

On the fifth day, the earth will be at war

Now, from what I have seen, I am going to love and adore this series. I love near-apocolyptic things this is about a near-apocolyptic a show can get. Be sure that I will be watching. Now, bask in Eve Myles, David-Gareth Lloyd and John Barrowman in all of their glory.








I'll post the Up close videos whenever Tochwood: Children of Time is over, until then,
