Torchwood General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Children of Earth

Personally, this mini series is one of my favourite additions to the Whoniverse!  I though this series was very well written, directed and acted!  It was one of the most emotionally things I have watched in a long time.  As emotionally draining as Day 4 was it was my favourite installment of the series.  It angered me very much that the government was willing to give the 456 children to be used a drugs, but I found the dialogue to be very believable which made the emotional effect of the situation hit so much harder!

I still can't believe they killed off Ianto!  He was my favourite!  I really loved him as a character and I loved his relationship with Jack.  He kept Jack from getting too carried away in his work and gave him a real life for the first time in probably a really long time.  If there is another series, Jack is going to be a very different character from the Jack we have grown to love in the last few seasons of Torchwood.  He will probably go back to being more of the Jack we met back in Dr. Who.

Also I can't believe Jack killed his own grandson!  I know it was a small price to pay to save 10% of the population, but his own flesh and blood?

Overall I give this episode 5 stars!  I hope Russell T. Davies blows us away like he did here with the 11th Doctor in the new Dr. Who series!
