Torchwood - Children of Earth (Spoilers)

Since the TARDIS doesn't want me to login today (Seems to be stuck in a localized time loop, or The Doctor just changed the keys.), I guess I'll have to start my own thread here.

An ordinary day becomes a world of terror as every single child in the world stops. A message is sent to all the governments of Earth: 'We are coming'. But as a trap closes around Captain Jack, sins of the past are returning, as long-forgotten events from 1965 threaten to reveal an awful truth.
This thread will definitely contain spoilers, I suggest we (assuming there is a "we") try keeping them only to episodes already aired and denote spoilers of yet to be coming episodes.

What did you think? Like or no like?

So far, I liked it.
They make it more obvious now that people don't just forgot the various alien attacks on Earth. That's nice, and very different from most other Sci-Fi (*cough*Stargate*cough*) shows where the secrets are kept secret, no matter how ridicilous.
Of course, I would prefer if the impact of the news of alien life would be a little more notable, but on the other hand, we don't really see much of Average Joes life. Hey, and who knows, maybe that's how it would work in reality, too...

The story itself sounds promising enough, and the whole "children messenger" concept is creepy. I loved how the children would just go on as if nothing happened - that really exemplifies the creepiness of the situation.

When I enter my username and password, it confirms, and I go right back to entering the username and password. I think that problem was mentioned before and there is a work-around for it (like clearing cookies or somesuch), but I am too lazy to figure out what it was exactly (especially since I would have to repeat it again.)

On a related topic:
Your Doctor Who / Torchwood news are great, which also applies to your newsletter*. I just have to train GMX not to treat it as spam. ;)

Something I didn't quite understand: Who did the interviews? You yourself, in life, phone or what? Or some "proxy"?

*) I found it in fact more useful then the EN World newsletter, but that's mostly because I am on EN World most of the time anyway...

Yup. That's an issue I'm aware of.

The problem is that they're both on the enworld.org domain. So your browser will have "enworld.org" cookies - either TARDIS or here at EN World; so it can't handle both. When you clear your cookies, you'll be fine with the first of the two you visit. Each browser has its own set of cookies, I believe.

It's a big pain. I have to use a different browser for each. The fix is to buy and set up a proper domain for the site, which I'll do if it gets a little busier.

Using a different browser will fix it.
 



Eeek. Please don't answer my question above, BK! Just realised you're referring to an episode I haven'tt sene yet - tonight was my game night. I have it recorded, so I'll watch both the final two tomorrow.

Oh. It aired a few hours ago so I figured it was safe, since the spoiler is ok for stuff thats aired. Go watch it nao!

Normally it would be fine, but I'm forced to read the thread because the issu eof problems logged in at the TADIS has been introduced.

I can't watch it until Sharon gets home from work tonight. Well, I can, but she won't be happy with me if I do!
 

One of the thing that bugged me a bit about Torchwood series 1 was that every time they got involved it seemed that they made things a bit worse and it got resolved whether or not they would have been there (I'd given up by the final episode, so that might have changed, I suppose).

I didn't watch the second series, but judging by this one I can't help wondering whether Torchwood are in the same boat they've always been in :(

I'll fork this to a new thread so that we can discuss it without corrupting Morrus :)
