Uh. I found Children of Earth traumatizing to the point where I wished I hadn't watched it.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
zuisa, I would not recommend Children of Earth right now. Just knowing who dies doesn't eliminate the trauma, IMHO.

Eh, well, it's 'Children of Earth' or 'The End of Time', really. I've been watching both series in the order they air so just in case somebody references something I'll know what they're talking about.
I'm prepared to weep, though. But man do I need to start watching shows that are happy.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Aya. There is lots of trauma to go around with CoE.
Now, I'm imagining the anti-Oprah..."You get some trauma; you get some trauma. Everyone gets some trauma!"

Thrive to spite them
I watched teh first part of Children of the Earth and never finished it. I just didn't want to deal with it. I'm not sure if I'm going to watch the new Torchwood.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Do you really know who dies? I mean, Torchwood regular cast casualties aren't what made me tell Daniel I hated him for making me watch CoE.
ETA: Yeah, I second the "don't watch" recommendation. It hurt.

Haha, well, let's put it this way: I know which major member of the Torchwood team will not be with us afterwards. But I'm assuming it will be much worse than that. Presumably the death toll will be very high, and I've finished Day 1 and can tell it's going to be bad.
But honestly, if it upsets me more than the end of "Journey's End" just did, I'll be almost impressed.
I must have some kind of sickness that I put myself through this.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Forget CoE (I personally think parts of it were brilliant, but yeah, not an easy watch) and watch "Eleventh Hour", which would be a nice pick-me-up. It's delightful. "You're Scottish! Fry something." Still one of my fave line readings ever.

CoE is tailor-made for Mark Watches' saying, "NEVER PREPARED."
Well, zuisa, we'll be here for you when you're done sobbing so hard you can't type.

Hah, thanks! I'm really surprised no one unfollowed me on Twitter last night when I basically live-tweeted all the way through "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End".
