The Sofa of Reasonable Comfort

My husband and I just finished Children of Earth, and good gravy, that was something altogether unexpected. Everyone's been so delightful about not spoiling me, so I'll be equally respectful and keep everything behind a cut.

( Discussion and spoilers )

It was a brilliant, thought-provoking, dramatic, and horrifying series.  Just, wow.

ETA: Since I skipped over all of the reaction posts, I'd love to have a few links to your thoughts as well.  :)

This is entirely nonelvis' fault.  Very brief crack!fic.

I'm a little delinquent in my Torchwood viewing this week and just watched Something Borrowed.  Other than the trailer from last week, I hadn't seen spoilers.  I have seen above-the-cut reaction from my f-list and see mostly positive reviews, to which I have to ask:

Did we watch the same show?

I've enjoyed series two thoroughly so far but good Lord, that was the most cracktastic episode of science fiction I have seen since Love and Monsters.  That's forty-some minutes of my life I will never, ever get back.  Can I have some retcon, too?

Discussion will likely contain spoilers.

ETA: Upon further reflection, I may have to put it up there with Ice from The X-Files.

For the record ... I've loved Torchwood so far this series but I was incredibly disappointed in tonight's two episodes.  Not even the appearance of evil!Blythe (i.e. Bryan Dick) in the first one won me over.

I don't have much in the way of commentary for either tonight; I'm going to let them cogitate in my subconscious and see if I like them better after thinking about them for a while.

Hey, it worked with Napoleon Dynamite.

Ahhh, Torchwood.  I'm so happy to have it back.  I needed some good, wholesome crack in my life.  It's even better than Heroes.  I have no appropriate icon, so I'll use David Anders because he's pretty and he can't die, either.

Before I get snarky, let me say that I only snark because I love.  If I didn't enjoy the show, I wouldn't bother watching it. 

Although we'll never see it, I think it would be terribly amusing to see the Doctor meet the Torchwood crew.  "This is what you made in my image?"  Someone needs to write that.  Not me.
