To Anyone Planning on Watching Torchwood: Children of Earth,
Don't, unless you want to be seriously depressed for the next forever.
This announcement brought to you commercial-free by: evilhippo.
(Let's not even get into the levels of boredom I reached this week that caused me to watch this thing, it is seriously the most depressing piece of television I have ever witnessed. Where Doctor Who is all "Human race triumphs despite its flaws!" this entire thing was "The human race has no redeeming qualities and even the stereotypical, universal Redeeming Qualities all lead to one thing: Death. Also children are very creepy and there is a giant alien menace in the sky that is very, very cranky and basically invincible and also possibly going through some kind of withdrawal-related oozing tantrums and the government is evil and hates everyone, especially Torchwood and children." All in all, I think perhaps Russel T. Davies is having some Issues and maybe someone should have some sort of consultation with him, to figure out why he hates everything. Or (and I don't recommend this option, because it frightens me personally, but it might help...) give him a hug or something. Also, I totally see why John Barrowman was unsecretly and unabashedly ticked about the whole thing. 'Punished' is right! My goodness, RTD, what did that show ever do to you?!)
