Lots Of News

So, today i have a lot of news to talk to you about.

1) After watching the trailer for the new Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, i cannot wait to see it. It looks really good and a twist on the original story

2)The next thing is Comic Con. I have been watching and reading the coverage from it. I really enjoyed the last Lost comic con appearance and they did answer some questions properly and revealed some returning characters who are coming back in season 6. The next Comic Con event that i am waiting for is from Doctor Who and Torchwood, what will they reveal?

3)So are Doctor Who going to announce the 3rd secret project that David Tennant will star in as the doctor? A movie? A multi doctor story?

4)In Doctor Who Magazine Russel T Davis said "What is the secret of the silver cloak?" when discussing the Tv Listing for the first episode of the christmas specials. So what is the secret or is this a red herring?

5)Finnaly i come back to the show i was obsessed and gripped to for a week, Torchwood. BBC America have announced the the BBC are picking up Torchwood for a 4th series. I am very happy and intriuged to what will happen in this fourth series?

So thats all my news,

See Ya,

P.S - I just wanted a picture and as i had news, i though that fireworks were fitting?

The Journeys Of Captain Jack Harkness

So Captain jack has left little old Earth and headed for the stars again. At the end of Series 1 he left with the doctor to travel to the end of the universe and battle the master in the year that never was. For nearly 200 years Jack has lived several lifetimes on this planet. He joined Torchwood and waited fro the doctor to arrive. But while waiting he met his team and in them he found a reason to stay here on Earth.

So now, 6 months after the terror of the 456 he decided that he has caused to much death on this planet, to many memories so he left. He sent a signal to get a teleport to a ship on the edge of the solar system. He lost Tosh by the hands of his brother, Owen got trapped inside a nuclear power station, he lost Owen after he made an ultimatum he couldn't live up to and then he had to sacrifice his grandson for the greater good.

So Captain Jack Harkness has left this planet but will he return. He is written into the Doctor Who christmas special so i guess he will return to Earth for that but will he stay and meet back up with Gwen.

Torchwood: Children Of Earth- Day Five

On the fifth day the world will be at war

What an end to an amazing week of television. The whole series was a credit to everyone who was in it or helped to make it. I have a list of things i want to talk about, some of them in this post and some in posts over the next 24 hours.

Gwen and Rhys have really became better characters over the week. I think all of this growth was epitimised in their attempt to rescue the children from the government. Gwen has changed into an action heroin and i think i really suits her character. How she didn't lose her baby during this week is a shock to me. In the same scene i think that PC Andy was great. Although he was underused in this series he was brilliant in this last episode.

Two other characters that for me in this episode excelled were agent Johnson and Spears (I forget her first name). Johnson was such a great character anyway but she was on the wrong side, a side she didn't understand. When she changed to help Captain jack it was a great turn for the character. Spears' final relalation that she had filmed the later scenes in the board room was great. The look on the primeministers face was a picture. Although i doubt the new woman who has been hinted as the new PM will be any better than him.

The plan to kill the 456 was better than i expected. Usually, RTD's ending's are ver quick and anti-climatic but this was a great ending. The first idea of 'reversing the polarity' was a bit of a let down but then it brought in the purpose of Clem's character throughout the week into the frame. The final nail in the coffin for the plan was the introduction of Steven and Alice. From the start of the week he and Alice had been introduced slowly for one purpose for Steven to die. It seems as if the relationship between Alice and Jack seems to be over for the forseeable future. I felt so sorry for jack when he lost Ianto and when he lost his gradson as we know that he has been through so much pain. All of this pain culminated on Jack after 6 months in the last scene of the week where jack leaves and runs away, again.

Pregnant Gwen looked very strange and the humour that her and Rhys showed at the end was great.

Are the 456 gone forever? Couldn't they come back in say 10 years after they have found a way of blocking the signal that Jack used to get rid of them. The 456 was not killed it simply ran away so will it be back? We will see.

I have more things to say and they will be posted tonight or tomorrow morning, they are:

The Future of Torchwood

The Journeys of Captain Jack

See Ya,

What is the 456?

So after 4 days and 4 brilliant episode we are left with just one hour to explain all of our questions. Most of these questions are about the illusive and evil 456. But what is the 456 and what does it want with the children of earth.

We know that the 456 get their name from the frequency that they 'broadcast' on. Using this 456 frequency they can transmit detailed inscructions such as a large tank filled with poison and a room from which they can shut down an entire building.

But what do they look like. Well the best image so far of the 456 ith the least poison gas is this:

So they have what looks like three heads and we know that they like to be sick all over to glass of the poison filled chamber. but when the camera man went inside he saw this:

So the children are some how wired up to the 456, but for what. To help them survive. But the children do not seem to age and are not dead.

So what really is the 456. It wants children but what for. It is sick on the glass, why? It has returned to this planet after 30 years. It has gone from needing 12 children to needing 10% of the children of earth.

We will find out tonight at 9pm, Day 5.

the fith day the world will be at war.

Torchwood: Children Of Earth- Day Four

On the fourth day our government will conspire

What a day in the world of Torchwood. The best yet, maybe i am still not sure but it was amazing. I think that the stand out best scene for me was the final scence of the episode. But before that the scene where Lois reveals everything about Torchwood to the government is brilliant. So the 456 has set their ransom and they are not budging. 10% of the children of earth. The government have decided that they will take the dumbest kids and give them to an evil alien that seems to make kids live forever, but at what cost to them. The death of Clem was really sad and quite discusting with all of the blood coming out of his eye's, nose and everywhere else.

The whole episode was not as action filled but definatly tension filled and exciting. I have a hunch that Johnson may join the Torchwood team for the nest series if there is one. I loved the part of the episode when Gwen was waiting for the goverment team to turn up.

The whole death of the people in the floor 13 building was very said and disturbing. The whole series has been a great acalaide to Russell T Davis as it has been expertly written and panned.

Obviously the scene i was refering to earlier was the scene where Ianto died. The acting was brilliant, the emotion was raw and i actually nearly cried. I never cry at Tv.

So how will they wrap up the epic story that they have set up over the last week in one final day of war. We will find out tomorrow night,

See Ya,

Torchwood: Children Of Earth- Day Three

On the third day the sky will burn

On the third day alot of things happened. I think that the 456 will be revealed more and more as the final two episodes go on. At the start of the episode tonight i did not think that the 'man' that Clem was talking about was Captain Jack. I thought that the 'man' would have been the guy who was breathing on the glass at the end of day two.

The new 'hub' that has been set up in the ex torchwood hanger is great. The whole sequence where the new team became criminals and stole all manner of things including two cars, laptops and then Ianto went and found identical clothes to what jack had before.

I hope that Alica will take a larger role in the final two days of this week as i think hat she will grow into a great character.

Tomorrow is going to be a great episode so i am now going to watch daye three again so,

see ya,

Torchwood: Children Of Earth- Day Two

On the second day our defences will fall

Today, instead of just making up this post as i go along i actually made notes while i was watching tonights episode. Ok then lets start. Tonights episode was a very Gwen, Rhys and Habbiba centric episode. The first thing i liked about this episode is that we got to see that amazing explosion again and the aftermath of the explosion including Jack. I was really excited wehn i saw them building the cell for the 456 as i got to see that when i visited the doctor who and Torchwood studios.

I think that the scene with Ianto's brother-in-law in bed when the secret service broke into Ianto's sisters house was really funny and clever.

I think that the regrowth of Jack was done very well except it seemed to be pretty obvious as the episode went on.

The character of Habbiba really grew during this episode i hope that she will take a larger role in the team during this week and if a series 4 is made i hope that she will be present in it.

The final scene inside floor 13 with the grey haired man (forgot his name) breathing on the glass seemed to know that he knows more than we think.

More fun in Day Three!

See ya,

Torchwood: Children Of Earth- Day One

On the first day it starts ..... When our children stop

What a brilliant opening to the series! The whole episode had me gripped from start to finish. I love the new dynamic that has came into place with only three members of the team left. The 'couple', Jack and Ianto and the wonderfull Gwen. The strat of the episode set the eerie and spooky theme that will no doubt fill the series. It seems that the Hub is now actually blown up and i doubt we will see it again this week. I really wanted that doctor (Can't spell his name) to be a good guy but o well. I hope and expect that we will see more of Rhys during the next week.

My favorite scene from tonight was a bit of a emotional one but it was great. The scene when jack was talking to his daughter was really good and well acted.

So what will happen on day two?

Anyway, i am really tired so i'm going to bed.

See Ya, Goodnight,
