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.
My unspoiled speculation is that in 1965, the 456 made contact and wanted human specimens. Britain gave them the orphans on the condition that they would not return.
eta: they're using children for communication because that's what/who they understand.
I have a bad feeling about Ianto asking Jack about watching him grow old and die. I find it forboding!
So, we get another dark piece of Captain Jack's past.
Oy.
well, nice to know that I was right. I had hoped that Jack wasn't so directly involved, though. Did you notice the three soldiers in the background. I'll bet that they were the three names.
lesson: government is sketchy.
Does anyone know how the ratings are doing in the US? Went over like gangbusters in the UK.
I was attempting to do a quick google on the number of children in the world. If, according to the 2006 CIA Factbook, 27% of the world's population in under 15 years of age, and the world population is 6.773 billion, then 27 % of that is 1.829 billion (1,828,710,000). Ten percent of that is 1.8 million children. Fuck.
Is my math right, mathy people?
See, I knew that someone needed to check my math.
Remember the first season episode where it turned out that Jack had given up children to the fairies before this and was prepared to do it again? I'm entirely believing he's the Do That If We Have To guy.
