Anyone watch Torch Wood tonight.
The last part was on tonight.

I have never really watched this show before.

3. Yeah, it was pretty intense.
Though I did like what was done to that one 'VIP' ;)

4. Tonight's episode is being repeated again, just started.
I would have a hard time watching this show if I was a parent.

5. Yes.
They did an excellent job of portraying the hysteria of the situation.

7. Yep, watched it.
"Fucked up" doesn't even begin to describe how it ended. Even though the bastard may be immortal, I was secretly hoping Jack's daughter would shoot him in the head.

You know the writing was damned good, when you felt freaking SYMPATHY for Frobisher as he shot his own wife and children to death.

I also couldn't help but wondering what was happening in the U.S., with our MUCH more heavily armed parents! I was struck by how docile they portrayed the British parents, and kept thinking that there's NO WAY that could go down so peacefully on this side of the Atlantic.

8. That is what I was thinking.
There isn't enough cops and military to take on armed parents here.

Just think how many people here have shotguns, alone.

You wouldn't get my kid without a fight.

9. I watched it, and
was pretty unhappy with it.

First his lover had to die and then he chose to sacrificed his own grandson. Completely destroyed my mental conception of Captain Jack.

It completely showed him as a man who would do anything to save the greatest number of people. I get that sometimes you have to make hard choices, but I still didn't really like it.

I'm curious as to how they're going to play the next season....

Q3JR4.

12. It was very interesting.
I don't know where it would go in the future, but it was a nice wrap up to the series.

14. I loved that part about the Doctor
About how sometimes he would turn his head in shame at the human race.

Anyway, it was a very good series.
