"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Wow, was it just me, or was that feature film-level production quality?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Vortex, I noticed that, too.

It was strange to have a variety of newscasts--on Torchwood--all with American accents.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It's not playing well with my computer, so I guess I'll have to wait for DVD, but DAMN is Bill Pullman looking old. Or probably his age.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I thought Pullman was DeNiro for a second there.

Damn you, Angela Lansbury!

Any speculation about what's going on and why?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Well, since it's Torchwood, and based on Lauren Ambrose's character, who is supposed to be pharm rep and who is going to be chatting up Pullman's character for something, I can confidently say that...aliens are infiltrating the pharmaceutical industry?

Will cause humans to be wiped out within 4 months due to the whole famine things, and then they'll be able to easily turn Earth into a...day care? Sea farm? Alien spa?

So, far Mekhi P is not impressing me. And I freaking loved Gwen being a bad-ass mommy. EARMUFFS AND GUNS!

The fact that Captain Jack is suddenly not healing from injuries makes me think that something may be... deflecting? diffusing? the energies that normally bolster his life force so that they affect the entire human race to a lesser degree instead. Whatever's doing it must be hellacously advanced and powerful to even partially undo Bad Wolf's handiwork.

Art Crawl!!!

Me three! I thought the whole episode was wonderful, but I want more Gwen and Jack, even though I find the other characters interesting as well. They made us wait 20 minutes for Captain Jack!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Nearly unforgivable.
