really? four times? you need to air that four times in a single ep?
It's all about the coat.
Host ,'Conviction (1)'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Okay, I was really enjoying Torchwood except for when Rhys, after having seen a gigantic alien, refuses to believe that Gwen catches aliens for a living (otherwise that was a great argument). Handwaved that and then got to Owen suddenly deciding, all on his lonesome, that, as Team Torchwood is winning, to kill the sweet defenseless sentient alien whale/slug thing. The hell?!
I gave up on the last several minutes at that point.

They were going to try to sedate it, but it had grown too big, so they euthanized it instead.

psychosis where we all turn into zombies and go out to see the movie... instead of ... er. actual psychosis.
Yeah. Too much art imitating life in my actual life. Causing pain. No love.
Yeah - the ending was turbulent, but there were some parts that really kicked ass. I was explaining to DH about how this was such a great show- and how there were competing relationships that made things complicated, when the catfight/who can be more worthy battle broke out in the conference room. And I almost yelled Jack! FTW! But really. Because then I'll have to explain cheering for Jack. And here I go... off to do just that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I get the euthanising--it's not a far leap to see the poor thing as past it, plus hella hard to move and house--I know they try and portray a sense of huge storage volume at the hub, but I'm not buying it, and the cells are uniformly small.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Yeah, it was the size of a blimp. I can't imagine they could get it into the hub.
One of my favorite things about this episode was Gwen and Rhys' fights. They're painful and vicious, the kind of fights people have when they've had years to learn where their partner's sore spots are.

Can we take a moment for the bad assedness that is Ianto? My original copy had bad audio in that one scene towards the end where he takes the baddies out, so I'm eagerly waiting for the reshowing here in the Pacific timezone so I can hear it right and proper.
