'Time Bomb'
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.
Having watched COE, it's really interesting watching the reactions as they evolve with those seeing it for the first time.
Funny bits of Day 2 that I loved
I give Davies BIG points because he came up with the same solution I'd use for how to neutralize someone you absolutely can't kill: bury them in concrete.
Pity he had confederates to break him out, but still, it WAS a good plan.
(Plus now, we do get to make jokes about Captain Jack and the Big Block of Concrete, woot!)
I've seen about half of ep 1 so far but am spoiled to the extent of having read Buffista white-font. (Actually, on my computer, it shows up as a lovely shade of red. But I digress.)
I might give a password to a colleague in an emergency. But if it were someone on their first day on the job, I'd be more likely to log in, then let the co-worker do what they needed to do.
And Rhys put some pieces together for Gwen -- I like that the Civilian can actually be useful sometimes.

exactly.
I was surprised that she handed over her password, but all hell was breaking loose so I can let that slide.
I'm sad that the pterodactyl is dead.
Maybe they'd sent it off on vacation that week? Or perhaps it flapped out when Ianto got out.
Yeah, yeah, death and destruction of humans doesn't bother me nearly so much in these stories.
In retrospect, since Lois was there to Do Computer Transfer Stuff with Miss Stearns, they could have started by giving Lois all the passwords, and intend to change all the passwords after she'd left. Lois should have been bonded with a high government clearance and all....
I am thinking on this too much, aren't I?

That's better than most handwavium.

yes, and should have known not to do what she did. Poking in files beyond her clearance, asking a lot of questions, etc. will not move you along in government service.

Well yeah, but asking questions you shouldn't is how you end up working for Torchwood.

And there's room for a computer expert to replace Toshiko....
