Bloody Torchwood

I am going to allow spoilers in the comment section of this so I am going to be very general in my comments here.

I thought it was painful to watch but very well written and directed. I can now go and read everyone’s reaction. I did know a little going in but I am glad I didn’t know everything because it was a gut punch when I got to the end.

It was the best of the three seasons to me. The format made them concentrate more on just one story and the characters acting and reacting to each other and the situation.

I need to think a little more about what I have seen but my gut reaction is I thought it was brilliant but painful to watch.

I am grateful I wasn’t too spoiled before I saw it.

I feel the same way. But I told my husband that I wished it had been a Doctor Who episode because none of the really bad stuff would have happened.

I don't think I'll ever want to watch it again, though.

I don't know about anyone else, but I kept wondering what Sarah Jane was doing during all of this. Surely Luke, Clyde, The Rani, and all the others weren't immune.

Actually, where was everyone? Mickey would have come in, fists blazing. Martha would have called the Doctor in, no question. And the one-liner about her being on her honeymoon? Yeah, this affected the entire planet. No matter where she is, it was happening there, too.

This isn't an unconnected series. What happens in one affects all the others. It seems like they forgot that, and instead just set out to tell a damned good story without thinking of the consequences on the other series.
