Mal ,'Bushwhacked'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Oh, that little girl must be undead like Owen! (I can't believe I didn't understand that before.)
Not necessarily. All we know is that she hasn't aged in more than a century and is very, very good at tarot cards. It's entirely possible she's not human at all.
But she might also be the little girl who stopped death the last time (like Owen did this time)?
The Adama/Roslin scene just about broke me. Adama is mean when he's drunk.
I know! He made her effin cry. Roslin crying is almost as sad as Scully crying.
Just watched Torchwood and saw the teaser for next week. All I can say is that hell hath no fury.

It's entirely possible, I just don't think we have enough information to assume that.
My observations about TW on BBCA:
Bisexuality, at the least, has been a part of Torchwood for a long time. ("He's very pretty. But not as pretty as you.")
Little girl -- freaky. Beyond that, I got nothing.
Tosh's was the story that got to me. Being blackmailed into spying by people that kidnaped her mother. (Though if I were in Jack's position, I'd have held out the possibility that she would be able to see her mother.)
Sexual tension between Jack and Ianto almost since word one. Though an ideal origins story (okay, not limited to an hour) would have said something about how Ianto got involved in London Torchwood.
Rhys was there, even if he didn't really have anything to do with the framing story. (Although in fairness, the framing story was very minimal.) I suspect that will be a dilemma for Jack down the road -- a civilian who not only knows but plays a role in Torchwood's activities.

I think that it's going to be more of a problem for Gwen. There was a throwaway bit with Rhys saying to Gwen "this could have been you". I think that he's really going to grok how dangerous Torchwood is, and want her to quit because of that.
Also -- Capt. John? Seriously unbalanced.
Though if I were in Jack's position, I'd have held out the possibility that she would be able to see her mother.
In fairness, it seems -- reading between the lines of past episodes -- that Jack has long-since relaxed his restrictions on Tosh. She was headed to a family reunion before being sucked back in time to the '40s.
That being said, I'm forced to think about the bit with Tosh seeing a vision of her mother at the end of last season -- I think it's officially unclear whether her mother died sometime between Tosh joining and the series beginning, or if she reacted so viscerally because she doesn't see her often, if at all. The events revealed in this episode certainly add a lot to that one.
