Torchwood: Children Of Earth: Day Three
I can’t help but wonder if this is what it was like when V aired in 1983. This is a television event. Guessing at what will happen next, what happened before, what does it all mean. It’s a damn shame it’s not more international.
Regarding Jack’s statement at the end my theory is the 456 demanded a dozen children in 1965 and when the government said no they caused some sort of ‘natural’ disaster. Upon my speaking that thought aloud Mindi hopped on her blackberry (little Tosh in training I guess) and found a variety of possible disasters in 1965 that could have been the 456 flexing their muscles – particularly cyclones and the like which I theorized could have easily been created by tractor beams. Then Jack, ever the pragmatist, gave in to save the planet. I guess we’ll see.
Thinking about Hub 2 I have to wonder if perhaps the recession caused them to cut their production budget and given that the Hub was a very large and likely very expensive standing set, Hub 2 could basically be built anywhere and struck and later rebuilt giving Torchwood a more economical base of operations. But would they stay in London? Maybe move in to Canary Wharf?
It was pretty funny when the Torchwood team had to put on their Hustle hats…dare I dream of a crossover?
Lois’s character again takes a dramatic shift in this episode, now’s she’s hugely reluctant when yesterday she was almost overeager. I find her lack of consistency disturbing.
Once again the whoniverse reminds us all of the proper definition of decimate. Make some room behind the couch.
Also the ratings climbed back up to 5.9 million.
