So I just finished watching Torchwood: Children of Earth. WOW that is all I can say.
I know some fans are unhappy, since lets face it the series began with loltastic episodes and everyone having sex with each other. But it evolved into something much more in the latter hald of season 2. Now, with COE the show has become a human drama that happens to be sci-fi.
I won't go into details now, since it hasn't aired yet in many places and many people may not have caught up with the last episode. But if you can watch it- its only five episodes- do, its incredible.
Russell T Davies (writer/producer of both Torchwood and Doctor Who) has redeemed himself in my eyes. There was no easy fix done here, not reset button that has been used in past Doctor Who finales. No it was raw and true to this story. The first episode, Day One, began dark and it carried through to the end of the Day Five epsiode. COE stuck to its guns and while the parts of it were hard to watch and there was a very high price to pay, it stayed true to itself there were no cop-outs. It began dark and ended in suit.
I think I must be a bit of a sick person, but I preferred this ending to some of the Doctor Who finales RTD has done lately. This was powerful and there was so much beauty in the tragedy.
I just keep wondering, with that ending, how the hell Jack is going to come back for the David Tennant's last episodes on Doctor Who?
Overall fabulous series: 9.5/10
