Children of Earth


Torchwood - Season 3 Children of Earth
5 Episodes
Starring - John Barrowman (Jack Harkness) Eve Myles (Gwen Cooper) Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto Jones)
Written By - Russel T Davies, John Fay, and James Moran

YAY!
Season 3/the mini series came and went in one weeks time which is quite nice of the BBC, no Waiting. To me this is kind of the final Torchwood. There can be more stuff with Captain jack but maybe its time he gets a stand alone series hmmmmmmmmmmmm??????
Anyways, Children of Earth is about just that, an alien comes to Earth to take 10% of the worlds children back to whatever f'd planet it came from. The Government trying to hide its past with the alien shuts down Torchwood with explosions and angry women and tries to kill jack in many different and explosive in the chest ways.

I'm Not gonna spoil it for you, but i really enjoyed this mini series, maybe it was nostalgia from not seeing anything Torchwood for a while, but i thought it was brilliant that you don't ever really see the alien. While there are spcial effects in the series its not all super CGI alien attack. They rely on the actors ability to act...... interesting.

Sadly this seems like the end of Torchwood, but what a way to go really well written hard edged, human race is a bunch of dicks Sci-fi. I only wish there were more shows like this one!

8/10 Saved the torpedoes for the next one!
