I kind of wondered if his "soul"-searching would end up with him deciding to do something else in Eureka.
I thought the exact same thing.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Maybe he'll become an electric monk.

Me too. I thought him wanting to have time in his box was like time in his room. I hope we weren't telling the character goodbye. If he is DOD property though, I guess they wouldn't just let him go.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hah!
Now I must go find my copy of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and re-read.

The Guardian has been blogging each one of the Torchwood episodes. Here is their blog for Day 5:

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Several folks from the Whedonesque board thought TW:CoW was excellent, and the series was rubbish or just meh. I'm decoding that there are two kinds of people: those who loved the series and hated the 5-parter, and the opposite. I've yet to come across anyone who liked both.

I've finally got all the episodes ahemmed, I plan on watching them tomorrow. As long as I don't have to help my daughter move.

I have the episodes ahemmed, but not yet the courage to watch because...

I think the show was quite brave, doesn't take the expected, perhaps American, route. And if you watch Day Five and look back on how much you loathed a characters choice earlier on, it's almost inevitable what we end up with.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I liked both (although I don't think either is anywhere near perfect.)
