She rules a lot.
When she was demonstrating her awesome, I kept thinking "if she makes it through this (this was after doctor dude died), the team's gonna be heavily female."
Please don't read that as any kind of spoiler.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Ianto's sister also rocks. This show is good with the good women.
And the bad woman reminds me of Cass. Um, not that Cass is bad.

“Not dead yet!”
Why don't the 456 just take some children? Why do they keep asking? Whatever the reason is must be a pretty exploitable weakness.
I'm getting the impression that can't physically do a lot other than spew green shit and let loose viruses. They have to have the children come to them, or at least come within range so they can suck them up with the flashing beam of light. They're clearly using the children as some sort of life support. I just don't think they're that physically capable/proactive.

Yeah, me either.
Which means the people who built the enclosure-tank-thing were IDIOTS to not build in a way to destroy it. Or maybe they did -- the guy who looks spookily like John Spencer may have survived in his HazMat suit. (Leo McGarry would NEVER put up with this shit, btw.)

Oh, and I love that the 456 DID know that Clem was watching. And I'm suspecting they left him behind for a reason other than some pubes.

I suspect if they looked at the formulation of the gas that the creature required, they would discover a lot about it. And if they hadn't blown up Torchwood, they might even have had a weapon that could have been used against them. Also, if they can figure out why the 456 want the children, they may be able to make the children unpalatable in some way. It's interesting that the kid in the box had some sort of breathing apparatus on.
Random thought: Technically, the 456 didn't welsh on the deal not to come back, England did. They promised 12 children, but only gave them 11, since Clem escaped.

Did he really, though? I got the feeling that he was walking into the light, just lagging behind, and as he got close, the blinding flash happened, taking the others, but leaving him behind. And because everyone was blinded by the flash and had looked away, he took the opportunity to run.

That occurred to me too! But then Clem and Gwen were had the whole "Why was I left behind?" "Puberty?" discussion and it seemed more like the 456 rejected him.

And it is amusingly politically incorrect in this instance to say they welshed. Good one.
