MORE THOUGHTS ON THE ULTIMATE MESSAGE OF DAYS ONE THROUGH FOUR

[tencrush]

We knew this was a retooling of sorts for the show, designed to attract a MASSIVE new and shiny audience, and it has. There are literally MILLIONS of people watching series three, who have NOT seen either series one or two of Torchwood.

And what have these shiny new viewers learned from Children of Earth? Well, see there's these three people in Torchwood, one's like from the future or someting, one's the married pregnant chick and let's just hammer the point home really quite bluntly with neon signs and anvils and such, that one over there? In the suit, see him? IANTO?? IANTO'S THE QUEER ONE.

Have you all got that? Yeah? Good. Right... let's kill the queer one.

Seriously. It's very tasteful, that, Russell. Nicely done.

You know how Spike went and got a SOUL for her? Ianto got Jack a NEW FUCKING COAT WHILE THE WORLD WAS ENDING. That's fucking dedication.

At least Spike got that pretty hero necklace that...oh wait...

I thought about that coat a bit too, and laughed cynically. I recall how the Scooby Gang stood around talking about the mall while Spike's crispy body lay in a smoldering hole in what was left of Sunnydale.
