Oh, another Journeyman question: Livermore - what is the significance?
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

Thrive to spite them
I think Dana's right, they aren't secret in the sense that no one knows of them at all, but no one knows what they do. So the police assume it's some kind of special ops team.

So, then why does their SUV have "Torchwood" etched on its side?
I was wondering that as well, then I handwaved that after the first alien invasion, there was no reason to keep them a secret anymore. The Minister of Defense was surprised when Harriet Jones talked about it, but I think that, timewise, we're further on.
I liken it to the NSA. For years, their very existence was classified. then, when the existence was declassified, no one knew exactly what they did. Still don't, in any real sense.

Maybe Jack got a deal on the etching.
PS, if anybody can find me a clear "magnetic" sticker that I could put on the front side of my car, I'd love one.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sumi, yes. Well, there's a 1&2 soundtrack. You can get it through iTunes. Probably in hard copy, too.

REAPER is still made of awsome. Ray Wise rocks.
Also, finally saw the Robot Chicken Star Wars special - it's also made of awsome.
That is all.

I thought that this week's Reaper was a step up - -the "vessel" was particularly excellent.
Plus, doesn't it seem like Ray Wise is having lots of fun.
